1976-Johnny Bench, of the Cincinnati Reds, hits a two-run homer and a three-run homer to help the Reds sweep the Yankees in the World Series. (This was the Yankees first World Series appearance since 1964 and they would go on to appear in the next two World Series, winning both.)
1998-The Yankees defeat the San Diego Padres, 3-0, to complete a World Series sweep. It is the last game of the greatest single-season in the history of Major League Baseball, with the Yankees winning their 125th game of the season. (The total: 125-50, it hasn't been matched since.)
2000-It is the longest World Series game to date, Game 1 of the Subway Series between the Mets and Yankees ends on Jose Vizcaino's 12th inning two-out single. This is the 13th consecutive World Series game won by these Yankees, which moves them past the Murderer's Row Yankees for the all-time record.
