One and a half months after 9/11. The World Trade Center was still burning a few miles away. First time MLB games were ever played in November. It went 7 games. Incredible storylines. Greatest first pitch in history. Byung-hyun Kim just blew another save. The Diamondbacks came back home and won a huge game 7.

Losing after 9/11 completely broke my heart.

2001-was an incredible series, especially with the events that preceeded it.

1993-was a good series, with perhaps one of the greatest moments ever (Carter's walkoff). Add to that Sean McDonough with one of my favorite television calls ever.

2016- was the most special. Easily. With the most incredible Game 7 ever.

Eta: Of course there are more, but off the top of my head for World Series I have watched, those three come to mind

Bill Mazeroski with the game 7 walk-off HR, after the Pirates scored 5 in the bottom of the 8 to take a 2-run lead, only to have the Yankees score 2 in the top of the 9th to tie it back up.

Fun trivia: Who is that out there playing LF for the Yankees?

(Gil McDougald was at 3B, and Johnny Blanchard was at C.)

1912, anyone?

Went 8 games due to one of the games ending in a tie and was punctuated by Fred Snodgrass' epic error in the 9th inning of game 8 that led to the Red Sox's series-winning run.

Easily tGOAT.

Braves fans will try to tell you it's one of the 65 World Series they lost, though.

I didn't know Jeter was black until that World Series.

Didn't Luis win the HR derby and have the walk off hit in game 7?
