This set revisits the historic 2000 World Series in which the New York Yankees battled their cross-town rivals the New York Mets in a best-of-seven battle that lasted only five games as the boys in pinstripes wrapped up the title in the Mets' home park. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

A Subway Series for a new generation. Why is it called the World Series if it is always played in New York? For years, this brash statement held true; then four decades passed without an all-New York World Series matchup. That all changed in 2000, the first time the Yankees and Mets ever squared off in the Fall Classic. This battle featured the high-energy New York Mets against the two-time defending champion New York Yankees. Each squad was led by a locally born manager, each club sparkled with star power, and each side was fueled by an animated fan base that divided the region and the city. But Joe Torre's Yankees had experience on their side. With a roster that included World Series MVP Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, Bernie Williams, and Paul O'Neill, the Bronx Bombers captured their 26th championship in a hard-fought, five-game series. This 5-DVD collection from the Major League Baseball Film & Video Archive includes every game from this classic World Series matchup.
