Never before had a team rallied to win the World Series after losing the first three games.
These Yankees made history, but not the way they wanted – they are the only team to blow a five-run lead while facing elimination from the World Series.
Then came something that’s always trouble: a little roller along first by a guy named Mookie in a World Series game in New York.
AdvertisementIt was only the seventh game in World Series history in which a team lost after leading by five or more runs.
And that no team in 54 years had won even once after losing the first three games of a World Series.
