Question: What ended "Donnie Baseball"'s aspirations for a 1994 World Series?
Context: The 1994 FIA Formula One World Championship was the 48th season of FIA Formula One motor racing.  It featured the 1994 FIA Formula One World Championship which commenced on 27 March 1994, and ended on 13 November after sixteen races.  The season is remembered as one of the most tragic and controversial seasons in the sport's history.  1994 was one of the closest championships in history as Michael Schumacher won the Drivers' title by a single point from Damon Hill after the two controversially collided at the final round in Adelaide.  Schumacher had built up a huge championship lead, winning six of the first seven races, before two disqualifications and a race ban allowed Hill to close the gap.  British constructor Williams-Renault won the Constructors' Championship.  However, the 1994 season will also be remembered for the deaths of three-time World Champion Ayrton Senna and Austrian rookie Roland Ratzenberger at the San Marino Grand Prix.  Forty-six drivers competed in the 1994 World Championship, including fourteen who made their F1 debut and numerous pay drivers. Mercedes-Benz also returned to the sport for the first time since 1955 as an engine supplier to Swiss team, Sauber.  The season also saw the first win for Ferrari since 1990 – whilst McLaren failed to win a single race following the departure of Senna, before embarking on a long-term partnership with Mercedes. The New York Yankees' 1994 season was the 92nd season for the Yankees.  New York was managed by Buck Showalter and played at Yankee Stadium.  The team finished with a record of 70-43 finishing 6 ⁄ games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles, having the best record in the American League and the second-best record in Major League Baseball.  The season was cut short by the infamous 1994 player's strike, which wiped out any postseason aspirations for their first postseason appearance since losing the 1981 World Series and that their star player and captain, Don Mattingly, had.  On the day the strike began, the Yankees were on pace to win at least 100 games for the first time since 1980.  The Yankees' ace, 33-year-old veteran Jimmy Key, was leading the majors with 17 wins and was on pace to win 24 games.  Right fielder Paul O'Neill was also having a career year, as he was leading the league with a .359 batting average. The 2001 World Series was the 97th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series, a best-of-seven playoff between the National League (NL) champion Arizona Diamondbacks and the three-time defending World Series champions and American League (AL) champion New York Yankees.  The Diamondbacks defeated the Yankees four games to three to win the best-of-seven series.  Considered one of the greatest World Series of all time, memorable aspects included two extra-inning games and three late-inning comebacks.  It ended on a Game 7 walk-off hit in the form of a bases-loaded blooper single off the bat of Luis Gonzalez.  This was the third World Series to end in this way, following and .  This was also the Yankees' fourth consecutive World Series appearance, after winning it in , , and . The 1980 World Series was the 77th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series and the conclusion of the 1980 Major League Baseball season.  A best-of-seven playoff, it matched the National League (NL) champion Philadelphia Phillies against the American League (AL) champion Kansas City Royals.  The Phillies defeated the Royals four games to two to capture the club's first World Series championship in franchise history.  Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt was named as the World Series MVP.  The series concluded after Game 6, which ended with Tug McGraw striking out Willie Wilson at 11:29 pm on October 21, 1980.  Wilson set a World Series record by striking out twelve times (after getting 230 hits in the regular season) in the six-game set. Donald Arthur Mattingly (born April 20, 1961) is an American former professional baseball first baseman, coach and current manager of the Miami Marlins.  Nicknamed "The Hit Man" and "Donnie Baseball", he spent his entire 14-year career playing with the New York Yankees and later managed the Los Angeles Dodgers for five years. The 1994 World Series was canceled on September 14 of that year due to an ongoing strike by the Major League Baseball Players Association, which had begun on August 12.  It was only the second time in the event's history (the first was in 1904) that the Fall Classic was not played. Russ Hamilton (born 1948 or 1949) is an American poker player.  He was the 1994 World Series of Poker main event champion, defeating Hugh Vincent in heads-up play to win $1 million in first-prize money, as well as his body weight in silver.  Following his World Series win, Hamilton served as a consultant for Ultimate Bet, an online poker server.  In 2008, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission found Hamilton largely responsible for cheating players on Ultimate Bet out of $6.1 million through software that allowed access to opponents' hole cards.  In 2009, Kahnawake increased the $6.1 million estimate to $22,100,000.

The 2000 World Series was the 96th edition of Major League Baseball (MLB)'s championship series, and the conclusion of the 2000 Major League Baseball season.  A best-of-seven playoff, it featured a crosstown matchup between the two-time defending World Series champions and American League (AL) champion New York Yankees and the National League (NL) champion New York Mets.  The Yankees defeated the Mets four games to one to win their third consecutive championship and 26th overall.  It marks, to date, the last World Series with a repeat champion.  It was the first postseason Subway Series since 1956.  The Yankees were in the World Series for the third consecutive season and fourth in the past five years, and 37th overall.  This made it the most of any team in MLB.  The Mets qualified to play in the World Series for the fourth time in franchise history, making this the most of any expansion franchise in MLB and its first since winning the 1986 World Series.  This is the most recent World Series in which both participating teams had made the postseason the previous year. The 1997 World Series, the 93rd edition of Major League Baseball's championship series, began on October 18 and ended on October 26 (after midnight October 27).  It featured the Cleveland Indians of the American League (playing in their second World Series in three years) and the Florida Marlins of the National League (who had set a record by reaching the World Series in only their fifth season).  The Marlins, who were underdogs, capped a stunning season.  They defeated the Indians four games to three to win their first World Series championship, making them the first wild card team to ever win the World Series.  The final of Game 7 was decided in extra innings on an Édgar Rentería single.  This was also the fourth time where Game 7 of the World Series went into extra innings, and the most recent until the 2016 World Series, in which the Indians also lost in extra innings, this time to the Chicago Cubs.
