Apparently, though, this didn’t phase the D-Backs entering the series. As Arizona pitcher Curt Schilling said of the Yankees’ mystique and aura, “those are the names of dancers at a night club, [not something we should be concerned about].” The D-Backs went on to decisively win the first two games of the series behind the arms of Schilling and Randy Johnson...
...most standards, this Game 7 would be considered extraordinary. But then, by the standards of this remarkable Series, it could have been another interleague game in May.
