On this day in Yankee history...
2001:
In Game 7 of a classic World Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks rally for
two runs in the bottom of the 9th inning to defeat the Yankees and the
usually unbeatable Mariano Rivera 3-2. The four-year-old Diamondbacks,
the youngest franchise to win a
Fall Classic, end New York's string of three consecutive World
Championships. Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling share Series MVP
honours. The Arizona pitchers are the first multiple winners since the
Dodgers trio of Ron Cey, Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager shared the
award in the 1981 WS.
