  • 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!

    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.

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”

    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.

I worked a graveyard shift for a friend/co-worker the night before that ugly morning and I fell asleep, watching SPORTS CENTER on the couch trying to see what Bonds was doing and I finally fell asleep about 20 minutes before the first tower....It was odd to wake up around 1pm Mst, knowing that I had ESPN on when I fell asleep and by this time it was all over. 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 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 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.

If you think Bonds’s accomplishments are tainted from substances you don’t know the history of the game very well.

    I don't think America changed forever on that specific day, but our reactions to it is what changed it forever. I remember just a day or two after, driving in a line of cars that was going through a couple of blocks in my city that was essentially a big USA rally, people lined the streets holding flags, waving to each other, nothing but love. I rear-ended the pick up truck in front of me when they stopped short, we both got out and looked at his bumper, he looked up and started chanting USA USA USA and everyone who could hear it followed suit, it was out of a movie. We got back in our vehicles and continued on, but I'll never forget that moment. We were all united as I'd ever seen.
    It was things like the patriot act, the lies to drag us into middle eastern quagmires and the propoganda that basically forced you to take a side that ruined everything. The country hasn't felt the same since and it gets worse every year.

I remember one game he gave up a bunch of runs and threw a literal perfect game into extra innings despite giving up a bunch of runs in the first two innings. I came out after 27 straight outs in extra innings and the team still lost. He also has a ring from the Marlins on the only time he spent serious time on the d.l. and basically missing the whole season.
