Cam I was 7 but I remember the roar (literally) from the late 90s and this series. I remember not being able to sleep from everyone screaming but not really knowing why other than the fact that the Yankees were winning. When you're 7 you don't understand shit so much so you're just like "Yankees won a game who cares" ...not knowing they just 3peated

Yankee fan here. Watching it back in 2000, I was just happy when Sojo got the hit. Having watched it a couple of times since then, my heart breaks for Al Leiter in that moment. What a game for him. Not meant to be. And you knew when Posada worked out a walk, the Yankees were going to score.
yea I was in the bleachers... I dont even care to watch baseball much anymore but this game still feels like a pinnacle moment in my life, and I was 15 at the time. Sat in the bleachers, if you freeze the final out(or check the mlb feed if its not clear here) youll see a yellow blur above the priority mail sign in left center... thats me!
I was there with my dad. We sat in the upper deck in right field. We were the only yankee fans there surround with mets fans. When Bernie caught the final out. We both cheered by yourselves while everyone else sat down and cry or disappointed they lost. I hope to see another subway series in my lifetime. Go Yankees!!!!
How was your experience at this game? I reckon it was a ball for you and Dad while for the Mets - not really. But anyway kind regards to you and dad from NYC or thereabouts from New York State or elsewhere from Scooby from near Chicago. 😃❤ Please take care out there and stay safe!
What's amazing about the 2000 New York Yankees world championship squad is that they stumbled into the playoffs going 3-18 in their final 21 regular season games. In the playoffs, they were pushed to the Best-of-5 limit against the Oakland Athletics and were in trouble against the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS until Bernie Williams hit a clutch bomb in Game 2 and then Roger Clemens Game 4 15-K performance put the Yankees back into vintage Yankee mode.
@@joesakic91 I think with a healthy Cone, they beat the Indians in 97, but not sure about the Orioles or Marlins. The Orioles' offense getting blanked by Nagy at the end was unprecedented. Then again, maybe not, because the Indians either outpitched the Yankees or their offense choked.
+Ben D And the roster is a far cry from the Core Four era.. their best player in 2015 was Mark Teixiera (3.8 WAR).. well below the days when Jeter, Posada, Cano, Pettite, and a juiced A-Rod were the team's MVPs. And the pitching staff, while young, is fragile.. plus they need fresh blood in their offense, as many of their current pieces are aging badly (A-Rod, Tex, Ellsbury, even Gardner).
@bumdog Yes it is. It never felt right until the young core started taking over. The 2017 wild card game was I think the first time it was official like the old stadium again - not the same as the old stadium, but LIKE it. Now it's pretty loud consistently and playoff games are always packed and chaotic the way they should be. I went to a world series game in 09 and an alcs game in 2010 and it felt like the fucking regular season. Couldn't believe it.
We had two bulls three peats a lakers three peat and both the cowboys and pats winning 3 in 4 years....these teams just seemed to build dynasties around each other
This is the series that started making me a Baseball fan and a Die Hard Mets fan. Living in NY as a 11 year old at the time I was in 6th grade at a school named I.S 73 in Elmhurst/Flushing Queens NY. I knew nothing about baseball, all I knew is that me and my family are from the Dominican Republic and my dad would watch baseball on this mini TV box in the garage on a nice day. He would always mention some players and I would always hear about Pedro Martinez, Mike Piazza, Sammy Sosa, Mark Mcweier, Ken Griffy Jr, Vladimir Guerrero, Derek Jeter... but I knew nothing about the sport, all I cared about was wwf wrestling and pokemon at the time. Then when the world series/subway series came around that october, it was EVERYWHERE! I'm 29 now and iv had the blessing of living in different states in America in my life but I never seen nothing like the world series in the year 2000 in NYC. Never experienced nothing like it, I mean this was everywhere you go people were talking about it. Half the city were cheering for The Mets and half were cheering for the yankees. I remember going to school around that September especially October and seeing teachers and students with yankees and mets jerseys hats and shirts . It was crazy, the whole school!!!! It was my first year of junior high middle school and in between classes we would take 10 minutes to walk to the next class and every 2 minutes you would hear students rioting yelling, some altogether chanting "LET'S GO YANKEES" Some "LET'S GO METS" and it was the whole school all day long during those weeks. It was like being at the game, students who didn't know eachother were high fiving and chanting together, and it was like this everywhere in NYC. During all this I knew I had to make a desigion and choose a team and since back in 1997 I was taking to shea stadium for my 7th birthday that year and both my sisters chose to band wagon the yankees, and my mom n dad liked the Mets, I figured I choose to band wagon the Mets ! just to be in on the whole wave trend. Little did I realize that was the birth of a wonderful great NY METS journey. Win or Lose I love the Mets forever! From 2000 to 2004 I was band wagon fan then I started watching some of 2005 season after I witnessed game by game what the redox did to the yankees in 04, and learning that the Mets signed Pedro Martinez. After that it made me study baseball and actually learn the rules and the 05 Mets were starting to get interesting again and so by 2006 and on I was officially a DIE HARD METS FAN. I hope we will win at least one or many more world series in my lifetime and I will cry like a baby when/if that happens. There's been other teams that's waited a long time and so am I willing to wait :) LGM
@@MG-dj7jv Yankees are legends but here in NYC (and in many other places on earth in general) there is a large population of people who really doesn't like when life is so routine, same thing everyday, same visuals. Part of choosing the New York Mets was because they are different. They are NYC they have some of the coolest unique colors in sports and Yankees already won like 100 World series, its like come on it gets boring 🙄🙄
Nothing will ever come close to this dynasty, I just find it funny, growing up as a Sox fan, that the "extreme dominance" over the Red Sox that the Yankees have, always historically, but also recently, that "recently" is now only 5-3, crazy to think that considering how far the two franchises were from each other in 2000.
The Giants are the only team that even came close to this (titles in 2010, 2012, 2014) but the big differences are obviously the three-peat for the Yankees and the fact that the Giants missed the postseason altogether during the in-between years (2011, 2013)
This Yankees group is definitely my favorite dynasty ever in the history of MLB. Of course it was great when they won in 2009 as well, having four players from the Joe Torre Yankees still on the team, led by another Yankee who was part of it Joe Girardi.
This victory represented the beginning of the end for the New York Yankees’ mystique. Here we are almost 25 years later and they have managed to win only 1 WS title since this one.
Ya for sure, they really haven't gotten anywhere in over a decade. I'm wondering if it's management that is at fault for that or is it a little bit of everything. Although I think the fans need to be more realistic now and days because your not going to see another dynasty like this team in a long time so a world series appearance/wins here and there will have to do. I know telling Yankee fans to be realistic might get me in trouble lol.
and in the 80s and early 90s. Don Mattingly years are not so pretty. 27 world series wins in 100 years. that means a 75% chance to not win. We're a great historical team. But we're not "Never can lose" great
@@Mr.Genesis during the late 90s, it sure seemed like the Yankees were “never can lose”. Every bounce of the ball just seemed to go their way. In 1999, the Red Sox were a legitimate threat to knock them out of the playoffs because they had Pedro at his peak.. the Yankees got lucky because they managed to sweep the first round, and meanwhile the Red Sox needed five games to get past Cleveland (as a result of Pedro getting injured in ALDS Game 1) so Boston’s pitching rotation was all out of whack. It meant that the Yankees only had to face Pedro once and that was in Game 3 (which the Red Sox won, it was the only game they won). Had Pedro not gotten injured, the Red Sox could’ve beaten the Indians in four, that would’ve meant Pedro would have been able to pitch in games 1 and 5 of the ALCS, and that’s two pretty much guaranteed wins for Boston. The Yankees were very strong that year, of course, but you never know what could’ve happened had the Red Sox been able to extend that series to six or seven games.
I came to this video to watch Derek Jeter's momentum-shifting solo home run. Kris Bryant's performance for the Cubs in the last couple of games reminded me of Jeter in this game and in Game 4. Solo home runs are only worth one run of course, but they can be so huge momentum-wise. The Bryant solo homers reminded a lot of Jeter's in how they inspired his teammates and demoralized opponents.
I hate the Yankees in the most sports hate way possible. But damn I respected those Torre-led teams. They were the epitome of play the right way. You had to beat them. They NEVER beat themselves. Just an incredible team.
They are the biggest reason why the Braves never won another title after 1995. Atlanta likely beats anyone else in 1996 and 1999 (should have won in 1996 regardless) and even if the Braves had gotten to the series in 1998, 2000, 2001 or 2003 the Yankees would have been waiting for them. 1997 and 2002 were the only two opportunities to play someone other than the Yankees in the World Series and the Braves fell apart in the playoffs both of those years (against the Marlins in '07 and the Giants in '02). The 2004 and 2005 Braves had no business being in the playoffs to begin with.
They’re also perfect examples to prove YOU CAN BUY CHAMPIONSHIPS! That said even though I was a huge Red Sox and baseball fan up until last year (then for obvious reasons, I stopped supporting MLB and the Sox because they decided playing politics was important then playing baseball) I have ALWAYS respected Derek Jeter, because he ALWAYS played hard, fair and never made it about himself he was always a team first guy!!
@@MAGA4EVA1986 I don’t really buy that whole “they bought championships” argument. Their very best players were homegrown. Jeter was drafted. So was Rivera, so was Pettite, so was Bernie and Posada. In fact, they ALMOST traded away Rivera to Seattle for a random guy named Felix Fermin when they weren’t sure about Jeter starting in 96, AND nearly demoted Jeter. Had they done that, no dynasty, no 2 Hall of Famers. It was a freak accident involving their shortstop breaking his arm that caused them to cancel those plans, keep Jeter and Rivera and the rest is history.
I remember watching this game so well. That 9th inning with Sojo's 2 run single. What a moment. Going for the three peat against the Mets was big to Yankee fans. We appreciated this one. I love Al Leiter and felt heartbroken for him. He pitched his ass off. He deserved better. He got beat by a walk and two seeing eye singles that weren't hit all that well. As Yankee fans found out in 2001 losing from a non well hit single is really rough. Diamondbacks punished us next year the same way. It's heartbreaking. Al Leiter was incredible in this series.
Those were my happiest days watching baseball. The New York Yankees dynasty of the late 90s was one of the best teams ever assembled. Jeter, Rivera, Bernie, O’Neill, Cone, Clemens, El Duque, Pettitte, Posada, Girardi, Strawberry, Broscius, Knoblauch…just wow.

Thank you for the 2011 title compliment. It happens in all sports. Teams who have longer championship droughts have fans who are either still bitter about their last title or have yet to win one bring up crappy things like series wins head-to-head which hasn't rattled anybody since they didn't win a title to back it up.
Stop whining about winning "only" four titles. We only won one in Atlanta even though we went to five and all feel like we should have won in both 1991 and 1996.
Honestly the only two years during that run that the Yankees were 100 percent the best team in baseball without any doubt whatsoever were 1998 and 1999.
@@87Khein The Yankees should have won more than they did and they were always better than Atlanta from 96 onward. There is a reason they won 8 straight against them in the World Series. Plus that 00 Yankees team tanked at the end of that season. They were built for the playoffs and they won again because they were the best team.
Cunning Cruise Studios When they tied the game in the 9th I was like "Oh no. not this again". When they blew it open in the 12th, My TV almost went through the window.
My father always wanted to see a subway series World Series. Sadly he passed away suddenly in August of 2000. I have watched this game several times now.
That's why the Yankees are the most successful team in the AL and the Cardinals in the NL. They do their talking on the field and not bring up past histories that don't lead up to titles like teams who had longer championship droughts. I'm a St. Louis Cardinal fan by the way.
2:38:16 My favorite moment when Luis Sojo hit a base hit up the middle and give the Yankees the World Series win. I actually wore out the VHS tape as I kept playing over and over. I still have that tape in storage. I'm glad it's been posted here. Lots of Yankees fans roaring at Shea stadium 🤣
Sojo siempre tuvo mucha concentración al batear y siempre tuvo mente positiva, de 13 años en grandes ligas 11 tuvo que ganarse el chance en los spring training tiene 5 anillos de serie mundial.Saludos desdei Venezuela 🙋🏻♂️⚾️
I'm a die hard Yankees fan but I don't hate them and I wish them well I hope they win the World Series only root against them when they're playing against us
It’s amazing how bored the Yankees look in the bottom of the ninth…so tired of endlessly winning, I’m glad they managed to pull a greatest hits out in 09.
+thenightspot Not really. There were only 31 games in 2005 where a pitcher went more than 125 pitches. Compare this to 2000 when there was 160 games. Most of these pitchers were off-speed users. Leiter used the cutter and fastball which takes a heavier toll on the arm.
Leiter had gone about 208 innings that year, averaging about 115-120 pitches per outing. He was going a bit more in post season -about 125. Leiter was not used to going that far into games. He ran out of gas.
That’s what the Yankees are missing now. They had everything covered in that dynasty from 96-00. Now all players want to do in their lineup is get homeruns and nobody is focused on simple base hits. It’s also no solid bench players. Plus Boone is a terrible ass manager. We should’ve beat Houston this season.
Samuel Hopkins well this is prior to knowing about cheating so obviously that changes things but Boone’s decision taking pitchers out too early or leaving them in too long played a part. Idk what games you were watching
2:52:31 The way the ball was hit, the way Mariano flinched, the way the cameras angle went up to track the ball, and the way Bernie Williams was trotting, I though that ball was long gone.
These bastards are the reason why my Braves won only 1 World Series during their peak. It was crushing at the time and man did I resent them in the moment, but a couple of decades on I can totally respect that these guys had what it took to win. Over and over and over again.
Other cities don't understand how cool it was to play the series in NY entirely. No stupid travel time to another time zone. I guess the 89 SFO/OAK series was the closest comparison...but it didn't have that NY flair - it just had a fuckin earthquake.
Yeah it was an underrated series. Because it's in New York, no one else watches it. People forgets that despite lasting 5 games, it's a lot closer than it looked.
I was 10 when this World Series occurred, and I remember vividly the heavy baseball atmosphere here in New York at the time of this World Series, which made it very exciting for me, even though the team I was rooting for lost. I would give anything to have the excitement of the Subway [World] Series again! (although I would like the result to be the opposite of this world series, of course xD)
@@hcab1479 That doesn't matter. The Yankees had 26 WS wins up to that point, which included 4 of the last 5. And after losing in 2001, they've never been able to recover. They've only won 1 championship since. Which is poor by Yankee standards.
@@YTWarrior100 You are ignorant if you actually think that the 01 World Series is the reason the NY Yankees have only won one World Series since then. The reason they only have won one is because they had atrocious pitching from 04-08 and overpaid past their prime players after 2010. Even then they have fielded a competitive team on a yearly basis unlike Arizona which has been a third rate organization since their lone world series championship.
AL LIETER WAS REAL GOOD< HE ALMOST FIELDED THE BALL . I REALIZED THAT PIAZZA SHOULD HAVE BIN >>> IN FRONT OF PLATE !!! AND AT LEAST CATCHES THE BALL .....
As of 2020, it is the only time the Yankees and Mets met in the World Series, in contrast to the multiple Subway Series involving the Dodgers and Giants. The only current two-team market not to see their teams meet in the World Series today is Los Angeles. The only former two-team market to see both teams make the World Series in the same year is St. Louis.
1990Thunderbolt i agree. it can be done tho. like the phillies in 09. if the giants didn't suck so much after winning a series then they could've repeated a couple times too.
+The Amazing Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobian Cancer Infected Fig Man of the Nederlands Totally agree and I predict they'll either sweep the Yanks or rally from down 3-0. Those would be the two best possible ways to do it.
The Yankees will get back in the World Series in 2017 for Presidental Election, 2009 was the Presidental pride to win there champion. 2000 goes to the legacy. Or It'll be take alot of time to build the new era in the near 2020s
BTW: Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, Mariano Rivera, Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki, Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay, Eduardo Nunez, CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte, Hiroki Kuroda, Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes, David Robertson, David Phelps, Preston Claiborne. Joba Chamberlain, Shawn Kelley, Adam Warren, Boone Logan, Austin Romine, Chris Stewart, Luis Cruz, Zoilo Almonte, Travis Hafner, Michael Pineda, Curtis Granderson, Alberto Gonzalez, Jayson Nix.
Look how unified the city of New York was. Not even a year later, it would all change. Watch this game and then watch 2001 World Series videos. Does anyone else get a sad vibe?
And also, there are a couple of teams that stumbled into the playoffs and won it all like the 2000 Yankees who went 5-16 in their final 21 games to reach the playoffs and had to outlast the Athletics in the 2000 ALDS. The 2006 Cardinals won 83 games and almost blew a 11-game NL Central lead before hanging on to make the playoffs and had to outlast the Mets in the 2006 ALCS.
Imagine this series one year later in 2001, with what happened in 9/11 a subway series would have been epic and a very heart felt tribute to the city of New York
Would have been awesome if it went 7 games and the 7th game went to extras.

This victory represented the beginning of the end for the New York Yankees’ mystique. Here we are almost 25 years later and they have managed to win only 1 WS title since this one.
Ya for sure, they really haven't gotten anywhere in over a decade. I'm wondering if it's management that is at fault for that or is it a little bit of everything. Although I think the fans need to be more realistic now and days because your not going to see another dynasty like this team in a long time so a world series appearance/wins here and there will have to do. I know telling Yankee fans to be realistic might get me in trouble lol.
@@D.Viasion11 Thank God.
and in the 80s and early 90s. Don Mattingly years are not so pretty.
27 world series wins in 100 years. that means a 75% chance to not win. We're a great historical team. But we're not "Never can lose" great
@@Mr.Genesis during the late 90s, it sure seemed like the Yankees were “never can lose”. Every bounce of the ball just seemed to go their way. In 1999, the Red Sox were a legitimate threat to knock them out of the playoffs because they had Pedro at his peak.. the Yankees got lucky because they managed to sweep the first round, and meanwhile the Red Sox needed five games to get past Cleveland (as a result of Pedro getting injured in ALDS Game 1) so Boston’s pitching rotation was all out of whack. It meant that the Yankees only had to face Pedro once and that was in Game 3 (which the Red Sox won, it was the only game they won).
Had Pedro not gotten injured, the Red Sox could’ve beaten the Indians in four, that would’ve meant Pedro would have been able to pitch in games 1 and 5 of the ALCS, and that’s two pretty much guaranteed wins for Boston. The Yankees were very strong that year, of course, but you never know what could’ve happened had the Red Sox been able to extend that series to six or seven games.
I came to this video to watch Derek Jeter's momentum-shifting solo home run. Kris Bryant's performance for the Cubs in the last couple of games reminded me of Jeter in this game and in Game 4.
Solo home runs are only worth one run of course, but they can be so huge momentum-wise. The Bryant solo homers reminded a lot of Jeter's in how they inspired his teammates and demoralized opponents.
I hate the Yankees in the most sports hate way possible. But damn I respected those Torre-led teams. They were the epitome of play the right way. You had to beat them. They NEVER beat themselves. Just an incredible team.
They are the biggest reason why the Braves never won another title after 1995. Atlanta likely beats anyone else in 1996 and 1999 (should have won in 1996 regardless) and even if the Braves had gotten to the series in 1998, 2000, 2001 or 2003 the Yankees would have been waiting for them. 1997 and 2002 were the only two opportunities to play someone other than the Yankees in the World Series and the Braves fell apart in the playoffs both of those years (against the Marlins in '07 and the Giants in '02). The 2004 and 2005 Braves had no business being in the playoffs to begin with.
That should say ‘97 obviously.
They’re also perfect examples to prove YOU CAN BUY CHAMPIONSHIPS! That said even though I was a huge Red Sox and baseball fan up until last year (then for obvious reasons, I stopped supporting MLB and the Sox because they decided playing politics was important then playing baseball) I have ALWAYS respected Derek Jeter, because he ALWAYS played hard, fair and never made it about himself he was always a team first guy!!
I still hate them to this day....I check the baseball scores and if the Yanks lose it makes my day...
@@MAGA4EVA1986 I don’t really buy that whole “they bought championships” argument. Their very best players were homegrown. Jeter was drafted. So was Rivera, so was Pettite, so was Bernie and Posada. In fact, they ALMOST traded away Rivera to Seattle for a random guy named Felix Fermin when they weren’t sure about Jeter starting in 96, AND nearly demoted Jeter. Had they done that, no dynasty, no 2 Hall of Famers. It was a freak accident involving their shortstop breaking his arm that caused them to cancel those plans, keep Jeter and Rivera and the rest is history.
11:06 this dude snapped wtf..no wonder he was good,he’s 3 different people 😂 😂 😂
LMFAOOOOOO
I remember watching this game so well. That 9th inning with Sojo's 2 run single. What a moment. Going for the three peat against the Mets was big to Yankee fans. We appreciated this one. I love Al Leiter and felt heartbroken for him. He pitched his ass off. He deserved better. He got beat by a walk and two seeing eye singles that weren't hit all that well. As Yankee fans found out in 2001 losing from a non well hit single is really rough. Diamondbacks punished us next year the same way. It's heartbreaking. Al Leiter was incredible in this series.
Those were my happiest days watching baseball. The New York Yankees dynasty of the late 90s was one of the best teams ever assembled.
Jeter, Rivera, Bernie, O’Neill, Cone, Clemens, El Duque, Pettitte, Posada, Girardi, Strawberry, Broscius, Knoblauch…just wow.
I hope we have a Yankees vs Mets Subway world series in 2024 it’s been 24 years since it hasn’t happened.
This feels like yesterday. Back when baseball was a great game
143 pitches....
It would take a starter 3 friggin games to throw that many pitches these days
Great efforts by Lieter, and Pettitte
and Now The 2000 Subway Series revisited
i was at this game ... 21 years later i still get the chills watching it and i dont even really like baseball anymore
Weird. I remember this World Series. Looks so old now.
96 WS will always be my favorite it was the first time I got to see them go all the way and they were down 0-2 after getting blown out the first game
Great swing by Piazza; just a few feet short
This makes me so happy. Let's go Yankees
2000 World Series Game 5: Broadcasting on Fox and Smackdown on UPN Were on the Air (October 26, 2000)
Damn, it DOES feel like an eternity during the time in between Yankee championships.
i miss this era of the yankees,the core four. most talent on one team ive ever seen
I get the whole core four thing but why isn't it the Core 5 with Bernie?
Not only that, Bernie was there before the "Core Four".
The greatest World Series of all time.
I love my yamkees this team is glory tradition. I am a yamkista story since I was little

It was nice to see a Subway Series in the World Series
Congratulation to the NY Yankees for their third straight world series titles.
This was... uhmmm.... 14 years ago.
Thank you for the 2011 title compliment. It happens in all sports. Teams who have longer championship droughts have fans who are either still bitter about their last title or have yet to win one bring up crappy things like series wins head-to-head which hasn't rattled anybody since they didn't win a title to back it up.
Hats off to the Mets.....
As a die-hard Mets fan,this hurt nonetheless the Yankees' resolve prevailed of whom I respect tremendously.🇺🇸⚾
Yanks would of had a 6-peat if they pull it off in 97 and 2001
+Courtney Gibson 2001 was real close. That one stung, as a Yankees fan.
Courtney Gibson Jr we weren't in 97
Stop whining about winning "only" four titles. We only won one in Atlanta even though we went to five and all feel like we should have won in both 1991 and 1996.
Honestly the only two years during that run that the Yankees were 100 percent the best team in baseball without any doubt whatsoever were 1998 and 1999.
@@87Khein The Yankees should have won more than they did and they were always better than Atlanta from 96 onward. There is a reason they won 8 straight against them in the World Series. Plus that 00 Yankees team tanked at the end of that season. They were built for the playoffs and they won again because they were the best team.
15 years later, history repeats itself.
I'm so pissed
Cunning Cruise Studios When they tied the game in the 9th I was like "Oh no. not this again". When they blew it open in the 12th, My TV almost went through the window.
Now it’s 24 years ago.
My father always wanted to see a subway series World Series. Sadly he passed away suddenly in August of 2000. I have watched this game several times now.
You will watch it again soon
2:52:31 last out, NYM #31 Mike Piazza (C) flies out to NYY #51 Bernie Williams (CF)
That's why the Yankees are the most successful team in the AL and the Cardinals in the NL. They do their talking on the field and not bring up past histories that don't lead up to titles like teams who had longer championship droughts.
I'm a St. Louis Cardinal fan by the way.
142 pitches! They don't do THAT anymore. You'd be lucky to get 110. Really lucky.
I guess Shea Stadium was too smokey at this game.
2:38:16 My favorite moment when Luis Sojo hit a base hit up the middle and give the Yankees the World Series win. I actually wore out the VHS tape as I kept playing over and over. I still have that tape in storage. I'm glad it's been posted here. Lots of Yankees fans roaring at Shea stadium 🤣
Sojo siempre tuvo mucha concentración al batear y siempre tuvo mente positiva, de 13 años en grandes ligas 11 tuvo que ganarse el chance en los spring training tiene 5 anillos de serie mundial.Saludos desdei Venezuela 🙋🏻♂️⚾️
Love my Yankees
I'm a die hard Yankees fan but I don't hate them and I wish them well I hope they win the World Series only root against them when they're playing against us
We need another Subway series.
I like how the Yankees beat the mets in the 2000 world series and I'm a Yankees fan myself in baseball.
+oleirishdragon Who cares?
+badasswithacomputer jajaj
It’s amazing how bored the Yankees look in the bottom of the ninth…so tired of endlessly winning, I’m glad they managed to pull a greatest hits out in 09.
they probably were focusing intensely. it was a high-pressure situation for sure and they had to regain composure
That celebration seemed dull too
Wonder what Bobby Valentine was thinking leaving in Leiter for almost 150 pitches.
Pitching has changed ALOT from the past to now.
+thenightspot
Not really. There were only 31 games in 2005 where a pitcher went more than 125 pitches. Compare this to 2000 when there was 160 games. Most of these pitchers were off-speed users. Leiter used the cutter and fastball which takes a heavier toll on the arm.
Leiter had gone about 208 innings that year, averaging about 115-120 pitches per outing. He was going a bit more in post season -about 125. Leiter was not used to going that far into games. He ran out of gas.
To be fair, do you want to entrust this situation to Armando Benitez?
El Duque threw 134 in game 3 lol. Again things are different
I remember watching this game Go Yankees!!!
Yankees are the best 27 World Series wins .
Elaborate?
Classic Luis Sojo, one way or another, almost never pretty, he got the job done.
That’s what the Yankees are missing now. They had everything covered in that dynasty from 96-00. Now all players want to do in their lineup is get homeruns and nobody is focused on simple base hits. It’s also no solid bench players. Plus Boone is a terrible ass manager. We should’ve beat Houston this season.
Samuel Hopkins well this is prior to knowing about cheating so obviously that changes things but Boone’s decision taking pitchers out too early or leaving them in too long played a part. Idk what games you were watching
Watching this today. Pettitte ❤ was the best
Ehhh....all good things must come to an end. It's the way of life. We'll always have the memories.
What a heck of the season for both MLB baseball teams Yankees did there thing met almost won it all
2:52:31 The way the ball was hit, the way Mariano flinched, the way the cameras angle went up to track the ball, and the way Bernie Williams was trotting, I though that ball was long gone.
As a Yankees Fan winning this particular WS was more of a relief as opposed to a celebration. Losing to the Mets ugh...
Believe it or not, the 2007 Patriots choke is the biggest in all of sports.
After falling down 0-2 in the 96 World Series, the Yankees would go 16-1 in the following 17 World Series games (96-00). That’s insane
Andy Pettitte win game six versus the Arizona Diamondbacks he is a Hall of Famer right now. He and Bernie should find their way in later on the years.
I remember what the Boston sports radios stations were saying: The only good thing about this series is that a New York team will lose.
Every time the Yankees lose a match to the Mets, it just feels so good to watch this.
141 pitches!!! Even that was a lot in 2000. Remember my uncle saying “what’s Valentine thinking!”
Hey that’s Cody bellinger’s dad! They’ve both got World Series rings!
joe buck and tim mccarver excellent voice! go yankees!!
Yep, been to glasgow about 5 times because im 85% scottish and my family has supported celtic since the 1960's.
These bastards are the reason why my Braves won only 1 World Series during their peak. It was crushing at the time and man did I resent them in the moment, but a couple of decades on I can totally respect that these guys had what it took to win. Over and over and over again.
Other cities don't understand how cool it was to play the series in NY entirely. No stupid travel time to another time zone. I guess the 89 SFO/OAK series was the closest comparison...but it didn't have that NY flair - it just had a fuckin earthquake.
Yeah it was an underrated series. Because it's in New York, no one else watches it.
People forgets that despite lasting 5 games, it's a lot closer than it looked.
I was 10 when this World Series occurred, and I remember vividly the heavy baseball atmosphere here in New York at the time of this World Series, which made it very exciting for me, even though the team I was rooting for lost. I would give anything to have the excitement of the Subway [World] Series again! (although I would like the result to be the opposite of this world series, of course xD)
I remember all the songs
Great time to be a fan.
Hoping for a 2022 Mets, Yankees world series
Amazing. I wish we could've pulled off the 4-peat against the D-Backs.
Jay_McGill94 we had a hangover after that dramatic 03 ALCS. We never lose to Florida in any other case.
Well nope. We dethroned you and ended your entire run on top of the MLB. You've never been the same since.
@@YTWarrior100 neither has Arizona lmao
@@hcab1479 That doesn't matter. The Yankees had 26 WS wins up to that point, which included 4 of the last 5. And after losing in 2001, they've never been able to recover. They've only won 1 championship since. Which is poor by Yankee standards.
@@YTWarrior100 You are ignorant if you actually think that the 01 World Series is the reason the NY Yankees have only won one World Series since then. The reason they only have won one is because they had atrocious pitching from 04-08 and overpaid past their prime players after 2010. Even then they have fielded a competitive team on a yearly basis unlike Arizona which has been a third rate organization since their lone world series championship.
As a Yankees fan after this game the Yankees don't have to do anything for the rest of my life
AL LIETER WAS REAL GOOD< HE ALMOST FIELDED THE BALL . I REALIZED THAT PIAZZA SHOULD HAVE BIN >>> IN FRONT OF PLATE !!! AND AT LEAST CATCHES THE BALL .....
As of 2020, it is the only time the Yankees and Mets met in the World Series, in contrast to the multiple Subway Series involving the Dodgers and Giants.
The only current two-team market not to see their teams meet in the World Series today is Los Angeles. The only former two-team market to see both teams make the World Series in the same year is St. Louis.
ever since the 2000 yankees. no team has ever repeat as world series champs. phillies came close in 09.
+1990Thunderbolt hasn't been that long lol
Ace i mean it's been 15 years.
1990Thunderbolt "Since 99 no team has ever repeat as world series champs." Thats not that long. You made it seem like its been ages.
Ace it's tough to repeat as world series champs nowadays that's what i'm trying to say.
1990Thunderbolt i agree. it can be done tho. like the phillies in 09. if the giants didn't suck so much after winning a series then they could've repeated a couple times too.
Anyone re-watching in 2020?
I"ll take the John Quinn version of this game, where there are far less ads, and the FOX in-game highlights haven't been edited out.
This year the Mets will get revenge.
Called it.
+The Amazing Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobian Cancer Infected Fig Man of the Nederlands Totally agree and I predict they'll either sweep the Yanks or rally from down 3-0. Those would be the two best possible ways to do it.
DVJFan Still didn't get it out eh? I'll wait.
Best username ever
METS STILL SUCK
when baseball was exciting to watch
And the Kings still had more FT attempts than the Lakers in the 2002 WCF, 204-185, and still bricked them.
The Yankees will get back in the World Series in 2017 for Presidental Election, 2009 was the Presidental pride to win there champion. 2000 goes to the legacy. Or It'll be take alot of time to build the new era in the near 2020s
That team was stacked
BTW: Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, Mariano Rivera, Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki, Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay, Eduardo Nunez, CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte, Hiroki Kuroda, Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes, David Robertson, David Phelps, Preston Claiborne. Joba Chamberlain, Shawn Kelley, Adam Warren, Boone Logan, Austin Romine, Chris Stewart, Luis Cruz, Zoilo Almonte, Travis Hafner, Michael Pineda, Curtis Granderson, Alberto Gonzalez, Jayson Nix.
Very warm October that year for New York New Jersey area
Look how unified the city of New York was. Not even a year later, it would all change. Watch this game and then watch 2001 World Series videos. Does anyone else get a sad vibe?
Leiter pitched a great game, I can’t believe Bobby Valentine didn’t take him out after he walked Posada
Back when the Yankees dominated baseball.
No pinch runner for Posada....Torre was a genius !
!!
Please someday make an option to turn off announcers! Some of understand the game and just want crowd noise!
And also, there are a couple of teams that stumbled into the playoffs and won it all like the 2000 Yankees who went 5-16 in their final 21 games to reach the playoffs and had to outlast the Athletics in the 2000 ALDS.
The 2006 Cardinals won 83 games and almost blew a 11-game NL Central lead before hanging on to make the playoffs and had to outlast the Mets in the 2006 ALCS.
The New York Yankees------Vintage baseball.
Yankee Nation alive and well in New Mexico
How they gonna let Leiter pitch the ninth in a tie game with guys getting thier 5th look at him in one game?!?
1:23:41 home run Derek Jeter
