Great offense on both sides, I was so stressed wanting the Yanks to win, I truly missed what a great series this was, the see-saw battles. I have to be honest, I’m 54 yrs old and don’t enjoy baseball when the Yankees get in the playoffs, it’s so damned nerve wracking I can’t enjoy the games. Funny, in the 90’s when the Yankees had that great run I did enjoy it. I was in jail in ‘96 so baseball wasn’t a priority, ‘97, ‘98, and ‘99 I was still using drugs, so it was just ok. I got clean 11/12/99 so in October 2000 I was 11 months sober and really enjoyed the Subway Series. I was roofing at the time and was breathing very heavy taking shingles up the ladder, I decided to quit smoking on 10/21/2000 Game 1 of the Met/Yankee World Series!

Game 4: When it happened, I thought the main headline would be that A-Rod had cemented his postseason of redemption with the game-winning 9th inning double to put the Yankees up 3-1 in the series, which may have been his most important, crucial hit of his career. Perhaps even iconic. As time passed, the story of that game became more about Johnny Damon being crafty and stealing 2nd and then 3rd on the same play to set up the A-Rod double in that 9th inning rally. While that was a brilliant play, I felt that A-Rod needed that double for his legacy and he got it. I was thrilled for him. Of course this was before I knew just how bad of a steroid guy (Biogenesis?!?!) he really was. Here, we see A-Rod's double but no Damon double-stolen base preceding it, which feels odd. I get it though, this reel is mostly only showing how the runs were scored. I would have included big strikeouts, great defensive plays, last outs of the game, but then again my highlight reels tend to be a bit long, as do my comments.

[@bryanstillman2125]

Man I'm still not over this loss. Games 3 and 4 especially were the games that just tore my heart out. A-Rod hitting the "home run" because the camera was jutting out into the field; Damon stealing the free base...Watching this again, it seems that the lineups were pretty evenly-matched in terms of firepower, so ultimately though I think it was the starting pitching that made the difference. Cliff Lee was outstanding, but Hamels had an off year, and Pedro really was past his prime and beyond. The irony is that the Phillies totally had Sabathia's number, both in 08 when he was with Milwaukee and in this series. The critical moment in the series I think was the top of the 9th in game 4. Feliz had just tied it with a homer in the 8th and the Phillies really needed to keep it tied going into the bottom of the ninth.

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

If the camera wasn't there, the ball goes over the fence. It's the object that prevented that. You can see from the side view the trajectory of the ball. If the ball wasn't a homerun, it would have hit the railing instead. But, it only hits the camera because the camera is on top of the fence. If there was just a wall with a line, and on top of that line is a HR, Alex's ball hit above the line. It hits the camera because it's also above that line. I get that this WS hurts for you, and I sympathize, Phillies played great, but Alex's ball was definitely a home run. Great series, though. Honestly, I've only watched the official WS video, and I forgot how close and back and forth these games were. That and how much Utley, had the Phillies won, would have been MVP because he murdered that WS.

Best World Series in the past decade!

[@digiblader1]

Who's watching this in 2022 as the Phillies are World Series bound?

[@umVortex]

Let’s go baby

[@MARLEY-ke2gq]

This yankees line up is the best

[@charlierobles316]

Really what about the 1929 Yankess or the 54 Yankess or the 98 Yankess?

[@BronxBomber-mf9hl]

Yeah, no, not even close they were really good, but not the greatest

[@Seroxm13]

Late 90s were way better, hence why they repeated and won like 3/4 in like 5 years.
