2001 World Series

We ended up winning both of those games in extra innings.

Jeter became Mr. November because that was the first, because of 9-11. obviously sports had stopped like the world had stopped pretty much for a week and everything got pushed back so the World Series ended up in November and he had a home run to win a game as soon as the clock hit midnight and we won and then yeah we got killed in game six game seven so Mariano hit that home run of the eighth inning Mariano was coming in like four in a row and Mariano, it's the only loss in the postseason the guy ever had was game seven of the 2001 World Series.

And I just remember saying, I guess we can't win every year.

I wasn't that hurt about it, but I am now.

If you want to talk about the things that really got us, I think first and foremost, as a Yankee fan.

I was in Yankee Stadium for game three of the 2001 World Series where George Bush threw out the greatest first pitch in the history of baseball.

But long before he took the mound that day and inspired the world, he gave the iconic bullhorn statement down on what was known as the pile at ground zero.

Here it is, clip four.

He got back into baseball as a guest analyst for SNY's Mets coverage.

Now was the time for him to combine both his baseball and film experience to make sure those moments are preserved, as well as the Piazza home run and George W. Bush first pitch at the 2001 World Series.

This, not just the documentary, just us being alive and going through this period, is the closest thing to the history being made in real time," he said.

People are going to read about it and know about it.

They found the three families with connections to baseball who were affected by the tragedy.

They told the story of John Madden, who was on the West Coast and who lost a dear friend on one of the planes.

And they found the story of the Secret Service agent who dressed up as an umpire and went on the field for George W. Bush's emotional first pitch of game three of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium.

Brenner, who was 22 and in Hoboken, New Jersey on that day, remembers driving out of town and listening to the news on the radio.

They don't want you to miss anything.

Former President George W. Bush shared a memory meantime about throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium during the 2001 World Series just weeks after the attacks.

My last memory of the presidency will be Yankee Stadium's reaction.

It was like The city, the people in that stadium were saying, you can knock down our buildings, but you damn sure not going to touch our soul.

He's carrying an American flag around the bases and the Cubs lead one to nothing.

Perhaps the most iconic moment is when then-President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch of Game 3 of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium.

Ceremonial first pitch, and please welcome the President of the United States.

Thank you Mr.

They can bring people together, give people something positive to believe in, and provide moments of joy, hope, and connection, even during some of life's most difficult times.

This is the story of Game 3 of the 2001 World Series, tonight on Once Upon a Game.

Once upon a game, in the fall of 2001, the New York Yankees were battling for baseball's World Series championship against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

This was nothing new.

Serendipitous.

First of all, he's wearing a 2001 World Series hat.

Serendipitous.

Maybe, I don't know what the word is.
