2001 world series 7 game
For the second consecutive year, Fox carried the World Series with its top broadcast team, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver (himself a Yankees broadcaster). This was the first year of Fox’s exclusive rights to the World Series (in the previous contract, Fox only broadcast the World Series in even numbered years while NBC broadcast it in odd numbered years), which it has held since. This particular contract also had given Fox exclusive rights to the entire baseball postseason, which aired over its family of networks, but shortly after the World Series, Fox sold its cable outlet Fox Family Channel, on which it aired Division Series games, shortly after the World Series ended, to Disney, which renamed the channel to ABC Family; since this made the channel a corporate sibling of ESPN, Disney would move those games to ESPN in 2003 after airing them for one more season on ABC Family.
The Yankees finished the 2001 season in first place in the AL East with a win–loss record of 95–65 (a winning percentage of .594), 13+1⁄2 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox, good enough to secure the #2 seed in the American League playoff bracket. The Yankees then defeated the fourth seeded Oakland Athletics 3 games to 2 in the AL Division Series, after losing 2 games at home, and the top seeded Seattle Mariners 4 games to 1 in the AL Championship Series to advance to their fourth consecutive World Series, and fifth in six years.
The game was opened in New York City by President George W. Bush, who threw the ceremonial first pitch, a strike to Yankees backup catcher Todd Greene. Bush became the first incumbent U.S. president to throw a World Series first pitch since Jimmy Carter in 1979. He also threw the baseball from the mound where the pitcher would be set (unlike most ceremonial first pitches which are from in front of the mound) and threw it for a strike. Chants of “U-S-A, U-S-A” rang throughout Yankee Stadium. Yankees starter Roger Clemens was outstanding allowing only three hits and struck out nine in seven innings of work. Yankees closer Mariano Rivera pitched two innings for the save.

“Those guys might not have the most experience on the field but they’re constantly getting reps in the dugout or in practice,” he said. “When they can go out and have the success that they’re having it’s just a testament to the amount of work they put in aside from the games.”
The top of the eighth inning for the Volunteers was essentially a carbon copy of the seventh, as with two outs and a runner on first Cal Stark broke out of his 0-for-16 slump with a no-doubt, two-run blast over the bullpen in left field.

It was a chilly and rainy day in the metroplex. Perfect for what was to come. Physically, I was at school from eight-to-four. Mentally, I was elsewhere. How could I have focused on anything school related when my favorite team was 27-outs away from being World Champions?
The Rangers beat the Rays in three consecutive games after an embarrassing 9-0 loss in game-one of the ALDS to win the series 3-1 and advance to a second straight ALCS. The Rangers would beat the Detroit Tigers in six games led by a historic performance from Nelson Cruz. After going 49 years without a World Series appearance, the Rangers were headed to their second in as many years.
In a vacuum, Oliver should have been batting practice for Major League hitters. His fastball sat in the mid-to-high 80’s and his off speed was average at best. Yet, at 40-years old, he was enjoying one of the best seasons of his career.
Actually, here’s the best way to sum it up. This is a line from the very first game story I sent that night, in the eighth inning. When I filed this story, it was for a 7-4 Rangers win — before the Cardinals started coming back, before they tied it up, before the exchange of runs in the 10th, before Freese’s walkoff. Before this game was ever a classic, I wrote this:
In fact, the Rangers failed to make the playoffs from 2000-2009. Ten seasons without a playoff appearance, 14-seasons without winning a single playoff game. Watching Michael Young consistently put up over 200 hits every season and comparing Kevin Mench to Shrek was the only thing Rangers fans had to hang onto.
