Game 1
Together in grief, together in glory. Chuck Knoblauch and Tino Martinez, vilified just 10 days ago for a blown bunt play, more than atoned for it Saturday night. Martinez hit a grand slam and Knoblauch hit a three-run homer in a seven-run seventh that rescued the New York Yankees, giving them a 9-6 victory over the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of the World Series.
Game 2
The New York Yankees appear to be getting serious about this best-team-in-baseball-history business, thrashing sloppy San Diego 9-3 in Game 2 Sunday night and threatening to make quick work of the Padres in the World Series.
Game 3
They can feel it already. One more World Series victory and the New York Yankees' electrifying season will come to an extraordinary end -- with a sweep. A 5-4 victory in Game 3 Tuesday night, courtesy of Scott Brosius' two home runs, put them right on the verge -- and, boy, do they know it.
Game 4
There simply was no other way for it to end. A World Series sweep was clearly the fitting finish for a New York Yankees team that utterly dominated the season. Andy Pettitte, MVP Scott Brosius and the Yankees made a case for being the best team in baseball history, beating the San Diego Padres 3-0 Wednesday night for a record 24th championship.
