It’s hard to comprehend that it was 20 years ago since the New York Yankees beat the New York Mets in the Subway Series. Sure, there were news and highlights from the series at large, from Clemens throwing a piece of a baseball bat at Mike Piazza, to “El Duque” Orlando Hernandez being handed the first postseason loss of his stellar Yankee career. Even Derek Jeter hitting that leadoff home run during Game 1.
But when you look at how the Yankees limped into October, it’s amazing the team got out of the Championship Series at all.
