2000 Official World Series Video - New York Yankees vs. New York Mets [VHS]
Following three world championships in four years, theNew York Yankees' dynasty was  starting to show a little wear in 2000. Still, the Bronx Bombers managed to  stumble into the playoffs and get past the Oakland A's and Seattle Mariners.  Meanwhile, the Mets disposed of the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis  Cardinals, leading to the show everyone in New York wanted to see: Yankees vs.  Mets in the first subway series since 1956.This 70-minute video offers over 50 minutes of Series coverage, including  pitching duels, base-running blunders, and surprise heroes. Game 2, of course,  is best known for the infamous bat-throwing incident between Yankees hurler  Roger Clemens and Mets slugger Mike Piazza, which you'll see from several angles  (the overhead is the most unusual and most interesting). A bonus is this video's  inclusion of something as small (yet significant) as Paul O'Neill's tough 10-pitch walk that began the tying rally in Game 1, and there are interviews with  role players such as Luis Sojo and Benny Agbayani as well as stars Derek Jeter  (the series MVP) and David Justice. After five hard-fought games, the Yankees  had won their fourth championship in five years and carried an emotional Joe  Torre off the field. Bernie Williams comments, "It's just amazing the fact that  we have been able to do it year after year after year." It might not be so  amazing considering the Yankees' $114 million payroll for 2000, but of all  baseball's big spenders, the Yankees are far and away the most successful. The  dynasty continues.--David Horiuchi
