The greatest moment at Cha$e Field is game 7 of the 2001 World Series.
Facts: The Yankees were the first team to appear in 4 straight World Series since the 1961-64 Yankees.
The 2001 season was the 4th in baseball history that no World Series champion was decided within the traditional month of October. The three others were 1904, 1916 (the series was held in September due to World War 1) and 1994.
Roger Clemens started game 7 at the age of 39, the oldest pitcher ever to start a game 7.
When Mariano Rivera blew the save in game 7, it was his first blown save in a post-season game since game 4 of the 1997 A.L.D.S.
Prior to game 7 of the '01 World Series, the Yankees had only lost three post-season games when leading after 8 innings, those being game 4 of the 1947 World Series, game 4 of the 1957 World Series and game 5 of the 1995 American League Division Series.
Honorable mention:
Jose Jimenez's no-hitter
Randy Johnson's 20 strike-out game
2001 N.L.D.S. games 1 and 5
