Baseball/World Series 2001

Arizona Diamondbacks 4 games, New York Yankees 3 games

Series MVPs: [Randy Johnson]? and [Curt Schiling]?, Arizona

Due to the postponement of games in September as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks, the World Series began Saturday, October 28, 2001, the latest start date ever for a World Series. The Series went seven games, the last three of which were the first major-league games (other than exhibitions) played in the month of November. Arizona won the first two games at home handily, but New York won the next three in close contests in Yankee Stadium, including two dramatic ninth-inning comebacks against Arizona closer [Byung-Hyun Kim]?. Arizona won the sixth game behind Randy Johnson, who then came in to pitch in relief of Schilling in game 7, won 3-2 by the Diamondbacks.
