2001 World Series Game 7 Highlights (New York Yankees vs Arizona Diamondbacks)

This is the game highlight of the 2001 World Series Game 7. I do not own these clips

[@pockeyway]

Schilling, Johnson, Clemens, & Rivera & a bottom ninth comeback win in game 7. This has got to be one of the greatest games you will ever witness.

I'm from the UK and I'd never seen a baseball game. This world series was my first introduction to the sport. I'm a massive D Backs fan now. Fantastic sport and so many legends. Can't believe this was over 20 years ago. How time flies. I remember watching this all those years ago and being completely seduced by the atmosphere and thrill of this great sport

He called us on the phone when they won, and we literally couldn’t hear a word he said, all I heard from the receiver was the deafening roar of the crowd. It was a really special moment. What a game.

[@jasonloader8149]

I’m a Brit - into football and cricket. But I remember this like it was yesterday. I followed the Diamondbacks that season- baseball was freely available on C5 terrestrial TV and I fell in love with your game. What a World Series - I’ll never forget it.

I used to watch it on C5 in those days as well Wish it was still on. Was so chuffed Arizona won.

[@ProSportsOutlook]

An electric environment for the final game of the 2001 MLB season. A historic win for Arizona.

[@RYMAN1321]

It is. It's unfortunate that their other three teams haven't been so lucky. Cardinals should've won in 2008, and Suns should've won this past year, but both teams just couldn't seal the deal. Coyotes have never been good though.

I remember that game in my old house in Venezuela. My parents and I were all going to Arizona. It was legendary. From that day on, I loved baseball and Randy Johnson.

[@MYcoloradoplateau]

If I was asked to pick only one game to sum up baseball to a foreigner, this would be it. Great pitching and defense along with clutch hitting. A brash new team taking on a dynasty at it's peak. Also, you have to remember that this was only a couple months after 9/11. Despite being the team everyone loved to hate, New York was the sentimental favorite to win because of the attack...the crews were watching the game while still clearing wreckage downtown. I lived in Phoenix and while my heart went out to New York, I had to root for my snakes. I think the fact that it was one of the best series of all time was enough of a tribute.

[@ckendall67]

Remember watching this one for sure! At the time I was saying to myself before the D-Backs came up to bat in the 9th 'Just get somebody on base, that's all, then they have a shot a coming back' this was even with Rivera on in the 9th who rarely ever slipped up in the 9th until that night. Once the D-Backs started to rally, it was almost like you could sense it - they were going to come back even against Mariano & the Mighty Yankees. One of the most exciting finishes ever to one of the best World Series ever. :-D

Mariano Rivera throwing the match away after tying the game ended up saving a life. Had the Yankees won, his teamate Enrique Wilson would have flown to the Dominican Republic after the team celebrated in their victory parade. Since they lost, he had to postpone his flight. Had the Yankees won, and Wilson went to the DR as planned, he would have died since it was the same flight that suffered a crash in Queens killing everyone on board. This is such a historical world series for a multitude of reasons

One out and bases loaded -- I'm going with double play depth. If @ double play depth, Jeter catches that looper and bases remain loaded with two outs. Classic WS, but many poor managerial decisions.

In this century when we’ve seen so many seemingly impossible occurrences in sports (Cubs, Red Sox, Patriots champs, Cavs over a 73-win GS team, etc.) it’s hard to relate to people how impossible this ending was. Rivera didn’t blow saves, esp in big moments, and in the backdrop of 9/11 which impacted everyone of course but NYC the most, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing take place here. It just seemed impossible, but it happened.
