That whole 2001 series was awesome... the middle games were so tense in NY, Byun-Hun Kim got emotionally broken, then you had the blowout, and then the all time classic game 7 where the greatest closer ever blew the biggest save of his career

The 2001 World Series had everything. A couple blowouts, three classic games in New York, two tying 2-run homers on back-to-back nights by the Yankees when they were down to their last out, Mr. November, Johnson/Schilling, Pettitte tipping pitches in one of the biggest starts of his career, and then a classic Game 7 with Rivera blowing the save after Alfonso Soriano was set to be the hero.

ETA: Going into the 9th inning of Game 7, the two teams had played 66 innings in the series, and the Yankees had led for 7 of them.

I just came here to vote for the 1960 WS.

Although 2011 was pretty darn spectacular too.

Including the 9/11 backdrop. Goose bumps a mile high with W's first pitch in New York.

To top it off the World Trade Center was still smoldering.
