Game of the Decade

This came down to two games. Originally, I was going to go with Super Bowl XLII. The undefeated Patriots took on the New York Giants. They led 7-3 at the half and 14-10 with 2:42 to go in the 4th. Tyree makes the catch. Plaxeco catches to go ahead TD. Giants pull a major upset.

Despite being the best Super Bowl ever, the Pats-Giants finished behind Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. The Yankees were playing for New York immediately after 911. They led 3-2 going back to Arizona. The Diamondbacks spanked them in Game 6. The deciding game featured Roger Clemens vs. Curt Schilling. Clemens went 6 1/3 and allowed one run. In the 8th, Alfonso Soriano homered to give the Yanks a 2-1 lead. With 2 out in the 8th, Bob Brenly brought in Randy Johnson to finish the game. The three-time defending World Series Champion Yankees led 2-1 going into the 9th. With the greatest closer ever on the mound, the Diamondbacks rallied to win the game 3-2 on a Luis Gonzalez squib hit. The mighty Yankee Dynasty was ended on that hit. It took the team a decade to recover.
