World Series Champion
Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks over the Yankees (4-3)
World Series MVP: Curt Schilling (ARI)
With the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks still a raw wound for the United States, this was a rare moment where more people than usual were rooting for the Damn Yankees to win the World Series. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be thanks to a Diamondbacks team anchored by the one-two punch of Randy Johnson and Curt Shilling.
