I remember watching this as a kid with my mom in our small Bronx apt. She was rooting for the mets, me for the yankees. What a blast we had teasing each other.
The series was the peak of the 90's New York Renaissance. The Rangers won the 1994 Stanley Cup, the Giants won Super Bowl XXV, Patrick Ewing led the Knicks, the Devils won two championships, and the Yankees championship revival. The Cold War ended, and immigrants were flocking to the United States, surpassing Ellis Island. The Twin Towers became a global icon. New York's brand skyrocketed.
I'm a Yankees fan and my dad is a Mets fan. We were at game 4 where Jeter hit the first pitch home run which single-handedly swung the momentum back in the Yankees favor. Needless to say, he was not thrilled going home haha. I miss this time.
I was 6 years old, watching this with my parents and my grandpa. Me and my dad are Yankee fans and grandpa was a met fan. What awesome memories. I even remember stands on streets of Staten Island selling Yankee and met gear that week.
I remember one of the New York newspapers having a double sided poster, one side Mets & the other Yankees. I swear every kid on Long Island had there team attached to the handle bars and that’s all everybody talked about and lived for that time. Cars painted blue and orange , flags draped on windows. I was young but the memories haven’t disappeared
My favorite game of all time. I still have my 2000 Subway Series World Series t-shirt. Thank you for the excellent memories Joe Torre, Mariano, Jorge, Derek, and The Whole 2000 NY Yankee Team. Never better.
I didn’t goto school for several days after I was so upset. Was in mourning. I remember when piazza hit that ball I jumped up and yelled thinking it was for sure a hr then after a second realizing it’s not and it’s all over.
This World Series meant a lot to me. Love Mike Piazza , Bobby Valentine and Al Leiter . 2000 New York Mets love you guys appreciate all you taight me . Love New York Mets Baseball ⚾❤️🇺🇲✝️
What a time to be alive..after hearing about ruth ..dimagio..berra..mantle...starting when i was 12 yrs old in 1996...it started and got see the closest thing to those days..now in 2023 as each yr they be crappy..u appreciate these yrs more...it was really something special
A different time in America. I watched just about every inning except the first 2 of game 2 on Sunday. I walked in the east Brunswick Hilton bar just after Roger vs piazza at bat. Watched game one @ Chammps in Edison NJ. Game 2 at the Hilton EB NJ. Game 3 & 4 at home. Game 5 at Tradewinds Seabright NJ.
Die hard Yankees since was kid in 1980's 2000 Yankees had a tough season that year Injures. The Subway Series will be memories never forget. To bad we could not win in 2001
I've never been to New York state, let alone the main city but I can imagine it was a helluva time to live through the 2000 World Series AND the 9/11 terrorists attacks.
9/11 brought us all together god forbid something like that happened I feel our own people in America (not all some) would justify it and not care. The world and the United States is so separated right now. God bless us all.
Crazy they still made this documentary despite the pandemic. I agree with that guy how crazy it was when NYC was a ghost town because of the pandemic. I remember a friend of mine posted photos on social media of how NYC was dead. I never saw anything like that. When I think of NYC I think of big crowds lots of people walking on the streets.
I lived in the city my whole life (I'm 27) and still do. One of my favorite times was when the city was dead. Once the initial fear of COVID was gone you realize everyone was at home so being out in the empty city was pretty safe and cool. I got to see places that used to always be packed completely empty and all for myself.
@supreme1572 just think the government was totally wrong with the shutt downs and masking BS. Yes I was totally against it from day 1 and I was right along with several Dr's. You can't shutt things down line China. It was proven not to work.
Back then you could wait by the players parking lot at Shea and see all the players cars. I remember Ricky Henderson had a beat up Ford explorer lol. Todd zeile had a white suv either Toyota or Lexus. I remember getting his autograph while he was in the car and l said to him “it smells nice in here” (it actually smelled really nice) and he laughed and said thanks lol
George bringing Yankee clubhouse furniture is perfect George. A true fan of the team who happened to own it, always cared about winning over everything. Long live the boss♥️
22:34 - “we got 5 in the 9th” and they show NONE of it hahaha. Piazza 2-R bomb & a Payton 3-R bomb.. and Todd Zeile was 4in away from a 3rd HR in the inning. And this was all off the greatest closer in history. Yanks go into 9th up 6-0 & barely hang on for the 6-5 W. Imagine making a doc on the 2000 WS & not showing one moment from this insane 9th inning. What a tragic thing.
get your facts straight. The 2 run pop was off Nelson as was the fly out to the warning track. Yes Payton hit a bomb off Rivera the other way but that was after Nelson put 2 on. But yeah them not showing it is an injustice
I was 4 when the last subway series happened I was allowed to watch a game bur fell asleep around the third now I hope I get at least 1 more chance to see and appreciate a subway series
I lived in an apartment at the time, and the landlord downstairs was a huge Mets fan. When Piazza flied out to Bernie Williams to end the series, I remember jumping purposely up and down on the floor so they could hear my excitement. I went out to Model's the next morning and bought a WS Yankees Championship t shirt so I could wear it to work and rub in the Mets fans' faces. I remember it said 3 in a row. It wasn't the Mets team I disliked it was the Mets fans. I guess Yankees fans can be a holes at times 😂
Of the 54 World Series played since 1968 - only 18 of them had lower TV ratings than the 2000 World Series. The country had no interest in this matchup.
@Jason.Takes.Manhattan 4-1 series final! That's getting wrecked! Roger Clemens has as many rings as the Mets whole franchise! The biggest joke in sports the New York Mets
I totally understand that not a lot of people outside of the NYC area bothered to watch this series or will watch this documentary. Beating its own drum a little too loud...nevertheless, Go Mets!
@@Surfer041 how old are you anyway cuz whenever I see your comments about the Yankees you sound like a boomer complaining about the Yankees acting like they haven't been through worse. And trust me, the Yankees gone through much worse well before Cashman.
Steinbrenner's obsession with visitor's clubhouse at Shea didn't cause the furniture move till AFTER game 3, trucks arrived the morning of game 4. Up to that time, this was one of the lowest rated TV coverage of a Series nationally. Clemens is a steroid fiend liar.
if Scott Boris didn't demand Alex Rodriguez get a private jet when negotiating in free agency, it just might've but even without the Mets being on the other side 2001's World Series was one of the most special ever played for a multitude of reasons
Joe Buck and Tim Mccarver make this video so anticlimactic. I get that they are presented as a "neutral party" but I would much rather hear the radio announcers for both teams intertwined to match the excitement of the game. In a video about New York teams, the National broadcast isn't very NY.
If there was anything remotely resembling something positive in nature with respect to that horrific tragedy on 9/11 it was in the immediate aftermath of that day something genuinely beautiful happened, for a little while New Yorkers came together as one and nobody saw age/race/gender/religion/etc etc. The only thing that they saw was another New Yorker and for a little while we came together to help someone out if they were in need, people were more respectful and kind to one another because were all in this together and trying to recover from the unimaginable shock of what took place. We were also very mindful that some of our neighbors may have been unaccounted for or perhaps one of their family members or maybe one of our own family members/friends and everyone needed each other for strength and support which was readily available even for a complete stranger. How I wished that this would have lasted permanently! 😔 I also remember that first game after that tragic day that the Yankees resumed the season at Yankee stadium and seeing the tattered American flag from ground zero flying in the stadium and seeing the Yankees take the field along with various first responders and thinking to myself that everything was somehow going to be okay and that we were all going to get through this together as New Yorkers.
I remember watching this as a kid with my mom in our small Bronx apt. She was rooting for the mets, me for the yankees. What a blast we had teasing each other.
🤣🤣
Even the MTA took advantage, the 7 trains to Willets Point were wrapped in Mets colors , the 4 were in Yankees colors.

Can’t leave out the 2000 Giants going to the SB even though we got demolished by the Ravens
Parcells led both the Giants and Jets to playoff runs.
Pleas take the Devils out of that equation. They're in Jersey. They're not a New York team.
The Knicks went to 2 NBA Finals. Good times
@JMAZZ80 the giants and jets stadium is also in jersey... do they not count you numbskull ?
I'm a Yankees fan and my dad is a Mets fan. We were at game 4 where Jeter hit the first pitch home run which single-handedly swung the momentum back in the Yankees favor.

Best documentary ever! I’m actually crying
Lived in Hoboken for this as a kid, what a time to be alive
I've been watching baseball for forty years. The 1998 - 2001 Yankees were the best team I've ever seen. They were nearly impossible to beat.
Well the 2017-present Houston Astros nearly matched that feat I guess if only we push a game 7 in 2019 the Yankees probably would’ve won that year
Until my dbacks came in 2001 to end it all
@@franciscou3861 But, does that one really count? That was more of a fluke. A one in a million ending.

What a magical season that was.
The grand central background is chefs kiss
I was at game 4. It was the first time I ever tried dip lol. When Jeter hit that lead off HR it killed me inside.
Steinbrenner bringing the chairs is so iconic I'm crying laughing 🤣 😂😂😂😂
who's watching in 2024 and ready for another one?
Its gonna happen
Not happening 😭 NYY vs LA
Dodgers winning it vs NYY
The Mets are probably losing to the Dodgers in which case I will be rooting for the Yankees.
Right here! Dodgers go home. 😂
What a doc! I’m cryin over here…
Greatest of All Time World Series
I am so blessed to realize this was the first World Series I watched was World Series 2000.
I was in Georgia on a four-month paralegal gig during this series.
Bobby Valentine was a good Manager. He managed in Japan and has a Street named in his honor. Chiba Lotte Marines
I wonder if there's a street in Boston named after him?
That was a good one!
Lol !!!!!!!
@@tytratar2114time flies nostalgic lol
Clemens chucking the fragment of bat at Piazza was ROID RAGE 😮
No one cares anymore baseball was beautiful either way.
Clemens was massively
competitive.
He was thrown out

Great documentary!! Took me on a trip down memory lane.
I remember watching this on tv as a kid. It was amazing. Baseball in New York is something special. I'm saying this, living in California.
Was lucky enough to go to one of these games and my dad was working on a building on the canyon of heroes so we went to the parade

@Jason.Takes.Manhattan both are bigger winners than the New York Mets!! That trash team doesn't even deserve to be in the same city as the Yankees.
Seeing Citi Field in person for the first time was a truly impressive site for this native L.A. boy.
I swear when Piazza hit that ball in game 5 I thought it was gone.
The absolutely goated and powered year for The Yankees and Mets. ❤🎈🐐
To Perez credit that did look like a home run that’s why he didn’t run as hard adrenaline was flowing
