Series Information

The 2001 World Series (the "November Series") took place between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Yankees and is considered one of the most exciting World Series in recent memory.

It is notable that the series ended on a Game Seven walkoff hit, one of only a handful of Series to end in this fashion.

Venues: Yankee Stadium (New York) & Bank One Ballpark (Arizona)
Series MVP's: Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling (Arizona)

Trivia

2001 marked the fourth time that no World Series champion was decided within the traditional month of October. The previous three occurrences were in 1904 (No Series), 1918 (Series held in September due to World War I), and 1994 (No Series due to Work Stoppage).
For the first time since the 1991 World Series, all seven games were won by the home team.
22 year-old Arizona pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim became the first Korean-born player to play in the World Series.
