i’m 31 and i still cry watching these highlights bc let me tell you, these guys gave a lot of us kids hope after what happened and they were our outlet from such a tragedy our city endured.
i agree. u can feel the desperation in the yankee fans through the computer. im 32 from NJ and i couldn't watch as a kid cuz i was so nervous...i would make my mom tell me what happened as i hid under the blanket lol...ima coward
The Yankees of those days were warriors they had a special heartbeat about them that not only made them almost invisible but made them hateable though they’re was nothing to hate about them
All these years later, still my two favorite games I ever watched, any sport. The enormity of it. Knowing that this went so far beyond being just a game. Game 7 may not have ended how I wanted, but games 4 and 5 were everything at that time.
Ditto to all of that. The Tino and Brosius belief-defying homeruns were the two most magical baseball moments I've ever witnessed. In fact, they're the reason for the "24" and "18" in my basically universal username.
@@snerdterguson Same here, actually. In fact, I've told people that if I could give up all 5 Yankee championships in my lifetime in order for them to have won that one, I would do it. But regardless, it's still my favorite, even with the heartbreaking end.
The Tino and Brosius homeruns were unlike anything else I've ever witnessed. Because of that, the "24" and "18" in my username are for those players. I just wish they'd used the Yankee radio feed for those homeruns in this video - especially for the Brosius one. Immediately after finishing his classic "It is high! It is far! It is gone!" John Sterling reflexively shouted out the four words that I, my brother, and probably most Yankee fans shouted at that exact moment: "I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" I mean, seriously, to have the exact same season-saving thing happen, down to their last out in back-to-back World Series games? To this day, 22 years later, it's hard for me to comprehend.
@@dougg2012 Rivera threw it away. If you watch game 7 closely, you'll see how many mistakes the Yankees made. They should have had minimum 2 more runs.
#1 there is no such thing as a coincidence. #2 free masons control baseball and how the scripts work, this series has so much satanic symbolism in it, especially considering it happened right after 9/11. If you don’t believe me, pay attention to small details, players #s on jerseys, the count of an at bat, how many runners on, how many outs, how many pitches thrown, the players average per game (1-3/ 2-4) the time it happens, the predictive programming the media gives you, Jeter hits his home run right after they play bell chimes after midnight in November. Just think about it.
Unfortunately Mariano made an error, no one is 100% perfect, but he was as close as it gets. Man i wish he threw that ball accurately to 2B though on the DP pill.
I was devastated when they lost the series, but I eventually got over it because the Diamondbacks (in all honesty) should've won it in 5. The better team won
Me too I was pretty heartbroken after game 7 game 6 was a laughter but game 7 with Sorianos dramatic homerun against Schilling in the 8th and then Mariano blew it I was very heartbroken as a Yankees fan after Sorianos homerun when Mariano came in the 8th I thought we escaped Arizona with the World Series Championship
The game 6 ass-kicking by the DBacks was one of the most impressive "bounce-back" performances I've ever seen in sports. A lot of teams would've folded after those heartbreaking losses in NY, but the DBacks had a determined veteran team. After I saw that laugher and that it would be Schilling-Clemens the next game, I knew we were in for a classic game 7.
I am an old life long Red Sox fan. I've never hated anything in sports as much as the Yankees. But after September 11th, I actually rooted for the Yankees for the 1st and only time in my life. Those Games 4 and 5 in Yankee Stadium were beyond incredible. Never before or since have I felt emotion and electricity in sports like I did during those 9th inning comebacks. For me it literally felt like a supernatural experience. I was convinced God had decided to carry the Yankees to victory because New York had suffered so terribly only 2 months earlier. So then comes Game 7. The best closer in baseball history is on the mound. And the Yankees proceed to lose in excruciating fashion on a broken bat flair off the handle. I was stunned and crushed. I couldn't believe it. The one fucking time I root for the Yankees and they collapse in heartbreaking Red Sox fashion. In brought back all the bad memories from, 1975, 1978 and 1986. Looking back on this 20 years later and it still blows me away. Those games in Yankee Stadium were for me, the pinnacle of baseball. That entire series was truly epic.
I could deal with losing in 2003 World Series and even the 2004 ALCS as crazy as that sounds. I wish the baseball Gods could have given the Yankees a 4 peat and 5 in 6 years based on what was going on in NY at the time😢
As devastated as I was when they lost the series, I eventually got over it because the Diamondbacks (in all honesty) should've won it in 5. The better team won
This is an overly simplistic take. This Yankee roster had won the previous THREE World Series (and five of six pennants). Let that sink in for a moment. Now, let's go over the rest of it, (sports arguments are dumb, so I'll keep it brief) Johnson and Schilling weren't just in their prime, they were also SCORCHING hot and started 5 of the 7 games in the Series. And somehow, some way it still took a Murphy's Law blown save in the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 for the D'Backs to win it. The better team? LOL. The '96-'01 Yankees are perhaps the greatest team there ever was.
@@TTundragrizzly They were old and outplayed but still went into the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 with the lead. End of story. Mariano’s bad throw, Jeter’s injury on the play, Brosious putting a double play ball in his back pocket and Luis Gonzalez’s dunker with the infield in with a hobbling Jeter trying to go back on it all culminated in Arizona winning it by the skin of their teeth. Amazing. Any one of those anomalies goes the other way and the Yankees win their fourth straight World Series and five in six seasons. I’m glad it didn’t happen otherwise you clearly would’ve offed yourself long ago, simp.

Wildest crowd I ever saw. They won that world series I don't care
No , actually they lost. AZ definitely deserved that WS ring.
BTW, 9/11 happened to America, not just NYC
Even as a Mets fan this gives me chills
Those were the real Yankees the Yankees that won
Really....
Last time I remember the Dbacks won the series....
Take that L New York ..😂🤣🥑🤣
@@chilichoppintacobanditsuck4767 Haha, we'll take 6 pennants in 8 years and 4 World Titles. Take the Ls rest of the league!
@@joeinreallife62931 championship since 2000, I’m so scared 😂😂😂
Notice the Posada solo shot was at 9:11 pm… it’s in the stars.

But they lost the series so it couldn’t have been

We were one out away from winning that World Series 😢😢😢

I was there in the upper deck on the first base side
As a Yankees fan I give credit to the Diamondbacks man,they won game 7 with all the momentum against them after those dramatic wins by the Yankees

Yankees got clobbered in Arizona. Pettite was terrible
Greatest World Series I Seen. Luis Gonzalez was clutch!
That would’ve been emotionally satisfying if they won.
2001 stings more than 2004 to me smh
04 was worse, but not by much.
Agree 2001
I could deal with losing in 2003 World Series and even the 2004 ALCS as crazy as that sounds. I wish the baseball Gods could have given the Yankees a 4 peat and 5 in 6 years based on what was going on in NY at the time😢
I firmly believe had the Yankees had home field advantage this year, they wouldn't have lost

Let's be honest we got greedy going for 4 in a row
@Don Clark yea I was the bat boy in 96
You were really the bat boy in ‘96?
No this was after 9/11. The city needed this.
7:15 14:07

NY lost everything that year
9/11 happened to America, not just NYC
Hi there & First
Real Yankee fans, real natives at The Stadium back then , now it’s a Insta story!!!!!
Not a fan of bush. But we all were Americans that night and he fuckin nailed that pitch.
Kim tried so hard to hand this series to the yanks. But that diamondbacks team was so scrappy.
