- Yankees lose

Yankees catcher Jorge Posada says a prayer after the National Anthem in the outfield before the start of game 2 of the ALDS between the Oakland A's and the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY on 10/11/2001. The New York Yankees did not win the World Series this year. In a year of tighter security and increased patriotism, this over-achieving team went further than most expected fighting the entire playoffs but finally losing in game 7 to Arizona.
