2001 World Series

The 2001 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball held between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Yankees. The Yankees, a dominant team, aimed for their fourth consecutive title, while the Diamondbacks, a relatively new franchise, made a surprising run to the finals. The series was notable for its intense competition and dramatic moments, including a memorable game with a game-winning home run. The Yankees ultimately won the series in seven games, earning their 26th World Championship. The series was also marked by emotional tension due to the September 11 attacks earlier that year, adding a historic and symbolic significance.
