The 2001 Major League Baseball season is remembered for a lot of things — Barry Bonds’ record-smashing 73 home runs, the debuts of future Hall-of-Famers Albert Pujols and Ichiro Suzuki, the Seattle Mariners’ charge to an American League record 116 wins, the tragedy of 9/11 that interrupted the season for a week in September, and an instant classic World Series won by the Arizona Diamondbacks on a walk-off hit by Luis Gonzalez in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 7.
It was also the last time the Atlanta Braves won a playoff series, when they swept the Houston Astros in three games in the National League Division Series.
