The 2001 MLB Season Was One of the Most Memorable Seasons Ever

Спорт

Hey everyone!
This is one of my favorite videos I have made. The 2001 season was certainly one of the greatest seasons in MLB history for many reasons, so I decided to compile all of those reasons into one video. I hope you enjoy!

    Definitely a memorable season for Randy Johnson. He started it off with the bird incident in spring training, then had his 20K game. He would also set a new record for strikeouts in a relief appearance, when he had to come in relief after a blown fuse led to a game Curt Schilling started being delayed to the next day. He'd take over when play resumed and struck out 16, breaking a record set by his non-relative Walter set all the way back in 1913! He won his 200th career game with his final win of the regular season, then his win in the NLCS snapped an excruciating seven-game post-season losing streak dating back to 1995. Then came his World Series heroics leading to a share of the World Series MVP Award, his fourth career Cy Young award, and finally being named Sportsman of the Year with Schilling. Yessir, it was definitely a memorable season for the Big Unit. Of course as you presented so well it was a memorable season overall.

    As a New Yorker who witnessed the attack on the twin towers first-hand, I can not overemphisize the positive psychological impact of Piazza's home run. It didn't matter if you were a Mets or a Yankees fan, that one swing brought more joy to my city than any other single moment, sports-related or not, than I have seen before or since. Mike Piazza will always be my hero, not just because he was one of the greatest catchers to ever play the game, but because he made me, and everyone around me, feel GOOD again.

I wanted to get up to the college as fast as possible to see if anyone had seen what had happened. No, but our History teacher ran to the room and said “Everyone need’s to go home because this will be the biggest event in your lifetime, and to mourn accordingly” I went to my girlfriend’s house, and we watched crying our eye’s out for those people.

It took me about 10 minutes to figure out just what the hell I was looking at on my TV set. By then, it was just a wide shot of Manhattan, completely engulfed in smoke and dust.

    I am a Yankees fan. At 15, I got to go to the clinchers that year against the As and the Mariners. I was dumbfounded when the Dbacks won Game 7, but I can tell you I probably took it better than my 11-yr-old self did when the Indians knocked them out in 97 😅. I also remember being mentally prepared the Yanks could blow it since they had managed two 9th inning comebacks themselves just days earlier. Looking back on that inning though, objectively, it really was one of the best World Series finishes.

    i was a freshman in highschool in 01 and saw 9/11 happen from across the hudson river in new jersey. we had a perfect view of the skyline. such a chaotic day. the whole ny sports scene did well in handling the situation in my opinion. they really helped with morale and unity. i went to two of those world series games and it was definitely special.

I watched the entire series with dad that year and have been a fan ever since. I still root for the yanks but now days my team is the Braves, naturally.

    MLB Network did a great job talking about the '01 season in their "Baseball Season's" documentary, and you SportStorm did a fantastic job adding more importance and intrigue to a season that is always a pleasure to look back on out of both respect and entertainment value. There were moments in the video that I had never seen before from that year and I was proud to learn and see these plays from this video that would have been almost difficult for me to find on my own time.

    I was only 11 when the Diamondbacks won and I was born and raised in Arizona. I used to go to Dbacks games as a kid around this era. I still wear a 2001 championship t-shirt to this day even though I now have lived in California since 2011. I just watched the Diamondbacks lose in the 2023 World Series, and it was painful but also I was grateful that we were there at all. This video gave me chills and I think the 2001 WS was one of the best of all time. Also on a sidenote I got to meet Randy Johnson in person around 2015, I was working a big event in Las Vegas and he was a photographer for the event. He is a big human being haha.

    The D'Back's closer, Kim, made the 2001 World Series one of the most memorable WS by blowing up two games. The best closer in the history of the Yankees, Rivera, also blew up the game 7 in the bottom of the 9th. I lived in Phoenix and as a D-Backs fan, watching the 2001 WS was like riding the most dramatic emotional roller coaster in my life.

    @Don Clark Mays and Aaron took amphetamines provided by the team as did hundreds of other players in the 50’s-70’s. Look up “greenies in baseball “ they weren’t illegal but are now. If you think Bonds’s accomplishments are tainted from substances you don’t know the history of the game very well. If you remove players from the Hall of Fame that used substances to enhance their preformance illegal or not, morally or not, once illegal or always illegal, you would go through the building in 5 minutes.
