After the events of the previous night, we were back at Farrelli’s Cinema Supper Club for Game 7. I guess, now, I would have sold a minor organ to buy tickets to the game, but at that point, I didn’t realize just how rare Game 7’s are for any city. In the twenty years since this contest, there have only been six World Series games. At that rate, with 30 major-league teams, the average franchise will get to experience one about every half-century or so. [Roll on 2051!] I won’t make that mistake again. But in 2001, it was Farrelli’s, and we recognized quite a number of other people, who had also returned after the events of Game Six.
20 years ago today: “Floater! Center field! The Diamondbacks are World Series champions!”
