1. Legendary call by K!

2. One of the best mid season acquisitions ever made by the Yankees imo.

3. Arthur Rhodes. Had forgotten all about him.

4. Awesome , thanks for the memories! 😎👍🎶🧨

5. What a time to be a Yankees fan. Miss it.

6. The memories

7. The “Yes We Can” banner has certainly been around for a while.

8. old man justice? His legs are gone, and i question whether the bat speed is there

9. This was such an exciting time. Miss those days a lot.

10. Kay sounded like he was pumped on this call

11. I remember the Ms having a late rally and falling asleep before the game could end. Woke up to find out we were in the World Series

12. Cashman’s last good trade deadline move?

13. Copypasting what I happened to write just yesterday in a thread about the Boone HR:

    > 2000 ALCS was the loudest place I ever was. David Justice hit a HR over our heads in the loge boxes out in RF. Pandemonium. Bedlam. The building itself was shaking. Then Paulie knocked in 2 more and it went crazy again and we spent the whole 9th inning chanting Bring on the Mets. 🤣

14. Arthur Rhodes literally powered the dynasty as Williams would do the same thing in 01 ALCS G4 shame we couldn’t have met him in 2004.

15. I just want this aura back

16. Love this highlight. I remember watching the game live and telling my eventual wife “oh good, theyre bringing in Arthur Rhodes, this dude never got a big out in his life.”

17. this series kicked ass. The fact that it was a subway series and they brought the redbird cars out for it was fucking dope.

18. Yankees owned him.

19. Justice was an insane pickup. Dude mashed. The back to back 1st pitch HRs with Bernie in early August was one of the best endings to a game I ever saw.

20. David Justice was the coolest that year man

21. Watch his excitement and enthusiasm. When does Judge ever do that? Judge can be overly robotic.

    Seriously watch his biggest playoff hit ever, stays in regular session character, won’t even smile, childish hops at the end. Where the Gibson fucking fist pump?
