Was at the 2001 World Series game where Jeter hit the walk-off homer on Byung-hyun Kim to become “Mr. November”.

That was the year they pushed the playoffs back after 9/11. The game was on Oct 31st, but went into extra innings and past midnight, into November.

We were in the upper deck of the old Yankee Stadium, and I have a vivid memory of feeling the whole stadium shake. Then walking out of the stadium to everyone singing Sinatra.

Doubt I will ever top that sports experience in my lifetime.

My Dad got us those tickets and pulled me out of school early to head into the city for the game. Years later he told me that as the game started to drag later in the night he debated leaving to get me back home at a reasonable hour on a school night so he wouldn’t have to hear it from my Mom the next day. But said screw it and decided to stay.

My Dad unfortunately passed away earlier this year. Going to that game is one of the best memories I have with him from my childhood.
