Report: MLB Vet Unretires After 1 Day
The Subway Series was one of MLB's most heated postseason matchups in recent memory. There was tension between the two clubs from the regular season when Yankees ace Roger Clemens hit Mike Piazza in the head with a pitch.
That carried over into the World Series, when Clemens threw a piece of Piazza's bat that shattered on a foul ball in the Mets catcher's direction in the first inning of Game 2.ย
Jeter turned in one of the best postseason series of his entire career against the Mets. He was named World Series MVP after hitting .409/.480/.864 with five extra-base hits and six runs scored.ย
The Yankees beat the Mets in five games, allowing Jeter to continue living in New York City for the remainder of his playing career.ย
