Remembering the 2000 Subway Series 25 years later: New York’s ‘Baseball Woodstock’ as told by those who lived it

Twenty-five years ago today, the New York Yankees defeated the New York Mets in Game 5 of the 2000 World Series. To this day, it remains the only championship meeting between these two iconic teams.

The final out came when Mike Piazza hit a deep fly ball to center field, which landed securely in Bernie Williams’ glove just a minute after midnight. This moment marked the culmination of an unforgettable week—a week that Michael Kay recalls as a time when “New York baseball was the center of the universe.”

This is the story of the city, the stakes, and the noise surrounding that legendary series, told through the memories of those who played it, called it, and lived it.

God bless October baseball. ’TIS THE SEASON.
