INTERVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT
BY HBO
The Map Room
10:15 A.M. EST
Q
Baseball, its place in this healing process -- were there
talks between you and Bud Selig after the suspension of the games
after 9/11, as far as when the games would start again?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I can't remember that. But I knew that
baseball would help remind the country about some of the positive
things in life. Baseball is such a wonderful sport, and it's a team
sport, and there's nothing better than the World Series to get
people's minds off of their daily troubles. And we needed something
to lift the spirit. We needed something to remind us about the
future, and a positive future, and baseball -- baseball came -- that
World Series in New York came right at the right time.
Q
Was the White House in a way kind of pulling for the
Yankees -- (laughter) -- since the playoff season was such a good
thing for New York?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, as a former Texas Ranger owner, it's hard
for me to admit ever pulling for the Yankees. But there was no doubt
it was an inspired World Series, and it was fortunate that the mighty
Yanks were in the World Series. After all, New York was the city
that had suffered the most on September the 11th.
You know, I'll never forget going to New York shortly after
September the 11th and seeing the resolve and the strength of the
people of New York. And the World Series kind of took that resolve
2/10/2004
Message
Page 2 of 6
and strength and lifted the spirits. It was a joyous occasion. You
know, the outcome wasn't so joyous for the Yankee fans, but the
series was a -- I think it's got to be one of the historic series
ever.
Q
October the 29th is the day before you throw out the first
pitch --
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
Q
There was -- Mayor Giuliani told me a story that New York
was put on an even higher alert than they had been on. This is the
day before the Series; a lot of things are going on in the city at
that time, with you coming, the Series, the Marathon was that
weekend.
THE PRESIDENT: That's right.
I
Was there ever any concern here in the White House, that
you knew about, that maybe you wouldn't be making that trip?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, there's always a concern for a President
to wade into what could be a -- to make a situation more dangerous.
One of my big concerns is to never put people in harm's way. A
classic example of that would have been the trip to Baghdad. As you
might remember, we snuck into Baghdad. I was very concerned,
however, that the word might leak out, which would put somebody in
harm's way because the terrorists might react, and if they tried to
take down the plane, it could cause somebody else to be injured. So,
yes, we were very concerned about that.
And, of course, before I went to New York to throw out the ball,
we made sure that we didn't kind of strain the security or put
somebody in a -- provide an opportunity for somebody who wanted to
harm the country. Now, I was assured that it wouldn't happen,
primarily because we were able to chopper Marine One -- we took
Marine One right in next to Yankee Stadium, and therefore, we didn't
disrupt traffic, we didn't provide -- didn't create chaos, which
would give a potential terrorist the opportunity to strike, at least
make it more possible somebody could strike in the midst of a lot of
focus being taken off of protecting the city.
Q
Why was it so important -- I understand you had never been
to a World Series game before.
THE PRESIDENT: I had never been to a World Series game. I
tried to as the Ranger owner, but we were always eliminated by the
Yankees.
Q
Why was it so important, then, for you to be at that World
Series?
THE PRESIDENT: You know, at first I wasn't going to go. And I
can't remember who convinced me -- it might have been the Mayor. I'm
not sure who to give credit to. But I realized that it would be --
it could possibly have been kind of an uplifting event, for the
2/10/2004

President, in defiance of the threats, to stand in solidarity with
the New York people who had been so strong and so resilient and so
brave and so incredibly tough in the face of the an enemy attack
on our soil. And so I decided to go, and I'm glad I did.
Q
Okay. You get to the stadium and you need to do something
before the game. You tell me the whole story.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, first -- let me put it in perspective. I
had thrown out the first ball in Milwaukee's new ballpark, and, of
course -- it might have been one hop, but it could have been two, as
I wound up and tried to fire a fast ball that, instead of rising,
sunk. And so I wanted to make sure that if I was going to throw out
the ball, I was able to do so with a little zip. I didn't want
people to think that their President was incapable of finding the
plate, particularly since I was a mediocre pitcher as a freshman at
Yale University. And so I needed to warm up, and warm up with some
protection on.
So I go underneath Yankee Stadium, into the bowels of Yankee
Stadium. And there is a hitting cage there. And I'm standing on
the side, and some players come in and out, and I'm chatting and
shooting the breeze. And I said, I'd better warm up. And out of the
shadows emerges this fellow that must have been there for years and
years. And he said, "Mr. President, do you want to warm up?" And I
said, "Yes, sir, I do." And so I'm playing catch with a guy who has
seen more Yankee history than probably anybody on the face of the
Earth, it seemed like. An older guy, big hands, obviously an old
catcher or something. And we warm up.
And Derek Jeter comes in to hit, to take some cuts to loosen
up. And, "Hey, Pres, how are you doing?" "Good, Derek, good luck
tonight.' "Thank you, sir." I said -- he says, "Say, I here you're
throwing out the first ball." I said, "I am. He said, "Are you
going to throw from the mound?" I said, "Well, they put a rubber in
front of the mound." He said, "Are you going to throw it from the
mound,' again. I said, "Well, what do you think?" He said, "Well,
I'd throw from the mound." I said, "Okay, I'll throw from the
mound." And he's walking out, and he looks over his shoulder, and he
says, "Don't bounce it, they'll boo you."
And so the pressure all of a sudden -- I mean, I'm sitting there
kind of fairly relaxed and feeling fairly loose, and all of a sudden
the great Derek Jeter "don't bounce it, they'll boo you" -- and
all of a sudden the pressure mounted. Man, it was -- I walked out of
that dugout and it was -- it's hard for me to describe the emotion I
felt. It was whew, it was strong.
Q
In your role, you are under pressure every day.
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
Q
Was this a different kind of pressure? I mean, this was
like an athletic achievement. You had a --
THE PRESIDENT: It was a little bit of a macho -- you're kind of
2/10/2004

on the line. Derek Jeter said, throw it from the mound, big guy, but
make sure that you get there. And having had the experience in front
of in Milwaukee I remember David Lopes was the catcher. And I
remember how small David Lopes looked when I made it out to the
mound. So I had some experience, albeit a little bit of a not a
good experience, in terms of getting the pitch across the plate.
So I knew what to expect, but I'd never felt what I'd felt
before when I walked out of that dugout. It was loud and it was -- I
mean, Yankee Stadium I can see why these young kids who go play
the World Series in Yankee Stadium can be intimidated. It was I
felt the raw emotion of the Yankee fans. It was positive, but it was
a very emotional moment.
Q
After you pitched it, it's a perfect strike. (Laughter.)
The place goes crazy. Can you describe what came after that, the
chants from the crowd, what you were feeling?
THE PRESIDENT: I felt proud to be an American. And the New
York fans it was like there was an exclamation point on what I
felt about New York. The fans reminded me about this -- the people
of this great city. I mean, I had seen the tears and the sweat and
the anxiety and the anger of some of New York's finest as they had
gone into the building after they had gone into the buildings to
rescue their loved ones. I had met with the families of the
victims. I had traveled the streets of the city and seen the people
of all walks of life rallying towards something greater than
themselves, a sense of purpose and the desire not to allow the enemy
to have defeated their spirit. And the noise at Yankee Stadium and
the chants reminded me of the greatness of the city. And I was
honored to be there. It was a very emotional moment.
Q
What was the message that you were sending? You spoke
about it briefly when we started.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, one of them was, united we stand. We
stand together in the face of this threat; that we will not be
intimidated; we will play baseball in the midst of the beginnings of
this war. No matter what the threat may be to us, the United States
of America will stand strong and will never be intimidated.
Q
Was security concern -- I mean, you went out to the mound
all alone. That in itself was a statement. I mean, did you hear
from your own people, I don't know that that's a good idea?
THE PRESIDENT: I think they felt pretty comfortable. These
security fellows or people won't take risks with the President's
life. We may push the envelope, but we're not going to push the
envelope to the point of endangering the President, because of the
importance of the institution. I mean, it's obviously,
particularly when you're sorting out the -- understanding what the
reality of the world. After the attacks on the World Trade Center,
it was a moment where we had to be certain that any decision we made
would not give the enemy or a potential enemy a chance. But they
felt pretty good about it.

Q
Afterwards, did you catch Derek's eye at all?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't remember -- listen, I was so overwhelmed
by the moment. I remember seeing Joe Torre and Bob Brenly -- and, as
a matter of fact, I just had dinner with him the other night in
Arizona and we recounted the moment.
That's all I remember. I can't remember much after that.
And Todd Greene was the catcher. But I just don't remember much. I
really don't. I was trying to absorb this fantastic experience. You
know, the President gets to see and do remarkable things, and there
are highlights and there are big moments. And, obviously, going down
to Ground Zero was a big moment that I'll never forget. And going to
Baghdad was a big moment. But throwing the first pitch at Yankee
Stadium was a huge moment. As a baseball fan, a guy who had followed
baseball all his life, a person who realized I would never even come
close to being a Major League pitcher, and there I was, throwing out
the first ball at Yankee Stadium in a pretty dramatic time.
Q
I interviewed Ari Fleischer and he told me that the next
morning -- do you recall this -- the next morning they were having
their meeting, their staff meeting, as they do every morning; you
stuck your head in and you told everyone about the night and what it
meant to you. Do you remember?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I was trying to share it with a lot of
good people. We have a team here in the White House, and one of the
things a President can do is share moments with the team. They can
get a sense of the emotion and the experience. And it's very
important for me, as best as I can, to include people in some of
these dramatic moments of the presidency.
Q
In our show we don't want to overstate that World Series
and its impact. We don't want to say that it cured anything or
healed anything.
THE PRESIDENT: No, it's a part of the healing process.
Q
Exactly. Can you please tell me that you know, what
place did this Series play in the beginnings of
THE PRESIDENT: The psychology of the country had been shaken
and damaged. I mean, after all, oceans had protected us for years
and, all of a sudden, there's an enemy that used our own assets to
destroy and kill people. We had to take a step back and try to sort
all this out, as we collected our thoughts and bolstered our courage
and compassion for our fellow citizens.
Baseball, the World Series, the baseball games was a part of a
healing process. It was a part of a return to normalcy, but with a
different point of view about the world. In other words, we'd never
be normal in the old sense, but we could be -- we could live a normal
life. Going to a baseball game was part of a normal life, but with a
new sense of awareness about the realities of the world in which we
live. And the World Series did a lot toward restoring that sense of
normalcy for the fans in New York. It was an uplifting moment. It
2/10/2004

was a dramatic World Series, to begin with.
Of course, from my perspective, any time the World Series is
played in Yankee Stadium now is a dramatic moment, because I've now
felt what those players must feel when they go on the field in mighty
Yankee Stadium as to either play the Yanks or play for the Yanks.
And so
Q
You may hear the cheers, but that night you heard "USA"
being chanted.
THE PRESIDENT: I heard the whole thing. I mean, I heard the
"USA." I was very aware of what was going on. I can remember giving
the thumbs-up to the crowd, to basically cheer them on, to say,
thanks for your spirit and your love for your country and, as well as
for your determination and your refusal to be defeated by the
terrorists; just standing strong and defiant in the name of liberty.
That's what I loved about that moment.
Q
Okay. Just one last thing about Derek again. So he
rattled you?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, he didn't rattle me, he reminded me. He
kind of raised the bar. He put the pitch in perspective. And,
frankly, I'm glad he did, because I'm a competitive kind of guy. He
ratcheted up my intensity to make sure I was able to get it over the
plate. I mean, I was aware of feeble pitches, but he kind of said,
listen, Mr. President, you go out there and show them what you've
got, buddy -- from the mound, not in front of the mound. Get up
there like the rest of them, from the mound, and let her rip. And I
appreciated that.
Q
Great. Were you happy with the pitch?
THE PRESIDENT: I was very happy with the pitch. They said it
was a strike. I asked -- I felt like asking Todd Greene if his hand
hurt as a result of that little zip I put on it, but he probably
could have caught it bare-handed. (Laughter.)
Q Great. Thank you very much.
THE PRESIDENT: Thanks. Thanks for coming.
Q
Thank you. Thank you.

BACKGROUND
HBO is producing a one-hour documentary on the events that occurred in New York City
from September 11th through the end of the 2001 World Series. The documentary will
run in September/October 2004.
Major League Baseball postponed games following September 11th for six days,
resuming again on Monday, September 17, 2001. During the World Series, there were 3
games played in Yankee Stadium, and the Yankees won each home game. Game 3 was
the first game in the 2001 World Series held in Yankee Stadium, and for many of the
Diamondback players, it was their first visit to the historic ballpark. It was played on
Tuesday, October 30, 2001, making it the latest date that baseball had ever been played.
Attendance at that game was almost 56,000. The New York Yankees beat the Arizona
Diamondbacks 2-1 in Game 3 for the Yankees' first win in the Series. Ultimately, the
Arizona Diamondbacks clinched the 2001 World Series 4-3.
You will be asked to discuss your "first pitch" and the conversation you had with Derek
Jeter during your warm-up. You threw your pitch to Yankees backup catcher Todd
Greene.
HBO has already interviewed Derek Jeter and Ari Fleischer.

then I knew we had done the right thing."
The late Jack Buck, the Hall of Fame voice of the Cardinals, made Selig even
more certain that restarting the national pastime when he did was the right thing
to do.
"I was watching one of the games on TV. I remember that Jack read a poem that
struck me. Tears started to well up in my eyes and I realized then that it was the
right thing to do, to come back. He later sent it to me in writing. It was just about
how right it was to be her and how great this country is. That was the moment for
me."
Playing MLB games again was helpful in getting life back to normal -- if there
was such a thing.
"I'd like to think, in our own little way, that we really did help," Selig said.
"Looking back on it now, in a way, we played an special role appropriately
secondary in the context of what was happening -- but absolutely special."
Uncertainty and excitement were present in virtually every Major League
ballpark that played a part in Major League Baseball's return, six days after the
world changed forever.
"In a lot of ways, it was kind of good to get back to doing things that you were
used to doing," said Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon, looking back. "But it still
was different. It was very emotional. Guys weren't into the game as much as
they usually were."
There was an eerie sensation at PNC Park that night when the Pirates played
the New York Mets. The series actually was supposed to be played in New York,
but it was moved to Pittsburgh because Shea Stadium was being used as a
staging area for the cleanup from the tragedy.
"It was almost like a 'Twilight Zone' feeling," recalled MLB.com reporter Ed
Eagle. "You were at a big league game but the players didn't seem to care if
they won or lost and neither did the few people in the crowd, many of whom
cheered for the Mets - which I had never thought would happen in Pittsburgh."
Because of the Mets were from New York, people in Pittsburgh worried that PNC
Park would be a terrorist target that night or that series.
But Major League Baseball already had taken steps to assure fan and player
safety at all of its ballparks.
From sea to shining sea, each MLB facility was checked and rechecked for
possible dangers. Each team increased ballpark security to the point where
every bag was checked.
Kevin Hallinan, the Senior Vice President for Security and Facility Management,
headed the safety operation. Coolers, backpacks and large backs weren't
allowed inside the ballparks and any small bag was checked. Police security in
and around ballparks was increased.
Fans didn't object to the inconvenience.
The Mets finally returned to New York a week later to host their NL East-rival
Atlanta Braves. A large crowd welcomed the team home, and was in a festive
mood as Liza Minelli sang "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning
stretch.
Mets players wore NYPD, FDNY and NYPA hats that night and decided to wear

them the remainder of the season.
The Yankees also were hit hard by the tragedy and sent the same supporting
message as their cross-town colleagues, sporting the NYPD and FDNY baseball
caps.
"It helps for us to have something else to think about," said manager Joe Torre
during a Sept. 16 workout at Comiskey Park. "The hardest thing was getting to
the airport (to fly to Chicago) and not seeing the World Trade Center."
Star shortstop Derek Jeter, among the Yankee players who visited a hospital an
armory in New York to be with families awaiting word of missing persons, said,
"If anything, playing again will give people an option to watch something else on
TV. This (tragedy) is closer to home because it's New York."
In Seattle, where the Mariners were on the verge of wrapping up the AL West
championship and eventually would set a league record for the most victories
(116), club president Chuck Armstrong was somewhat uneasy about Re-
Opening Night against the Angels.
"The Space Needle was on the list of possible terrorist targets and that caused a
lot of anxiety," he said. "But the Seattle police did a wonderful job of making sure
SAFECO Field was a safe place to be."
At SAFECO and every other MLB ballpark, the National Anthem had more
meaning after the 9/11 tragedy.
"It symbolizes what this country is all about," second baseman Bret Boone said.
"It's a shame that it takes something like a terrorist attack to realize what it
means to be an American or live in America. It may sound corny, but everyone in
here (clubhouse) is proud to be an American, or proud to be in America."

As MLB moved into the post-tragedy season, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
was replaced by "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch.

Chicago
"I'd grown up always loving Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America," Selig
said. "It's a very meaningful, patriotic and important song."
Red, white and blue became dominant colors throughout MLB ballparks. Large,
medium and small American flags were everywhere.
Emotions were high on the day baseball resumed on Chicago's South Side. The

"It was an unbelievable display of sportsmanship," Jeter said. "It's not too often
you hear people who are not in New York cheer for the Yankees."
The White Sox honored Chicago's policemen and firefighters in pregame
ceremonies that were remarkably poignant.
"It was very emotional," said Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams. "You look
at the uniforms (of the police and fire fighters) and it's hard not to be emotional."
The remainder of the regular season was played with emotion, but without
incident.

HIGHLIGHTS
The Yankees batted just 183 in the Series, the lowest average for a team in a seven- or eight-game
Series, and were outscored 37-14 in the seven games. They needed more.
"We felt we outplayed the Yankees," Gonzalez said. "Our pitching staff shut down a good club."
Torre had hoped Schilling, pitching on short rest for the second straight start, was weary.
"We're looking for that crack in the armor," Torre said.
Soriano found it briefly.
ADVERTISEMENT
Arizona had taken a 1-0 lead on Danny
Bautista's RBI double in the sixth but the
Yankees quickly tied it in the seventh on
Martinez's RBI single.
Schilling, who retired 16 in a row at one point,
served up Soriano's blast on a 0-2 pitch into the
left field bleachers.
He faced two more Yankees before giving way
to Miguel Batista who got one out and exited for
Johnson. The Big Unit, making his second
career postseason relief appearance, got pinch-
hitter Chuck Knoblauch to fly out and end the
inning. Johnson (5-1) retired the side in order in
the ninth and picked up the win. Johnson's first
postseason relief appearance came in the 1995
American League Division Series against the
Yankees.
The Yankees have had to play deciding games in best-of-five series but not a Game 7 since 1964.
"The pressures are different, no question," Torre said. "You're finally here and after today it just stops. It's
been 100 miles an hour for a few weeks now and it's been pressure-packed."
This was the 34th time the World Series has gone seven games and the 49,589 at Bank One Ballpark
weren't disappointed. It was the third time this postseason the D-Backs won the clinching game of a series
by a run.
Here's to whoever had 19 in the strikeout pool between the two 20-game winners. Schilling struck out nine
and New York starter Roger Clemens had 10.

For Clemens, it was his sixth career World Series start and the first time he's had to pick up a bat in the
postseason since Game 6 of the 1986 World Series when he played for Boston against the New York
Mets. He gave up one run on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings before Mike Stanton took over.
Clemens had tested the BOB's mound on Friday, an off day, after the team arrived from New York. It must
have been OK.
Clemens stymied the D-Backs until the sixth. Steve Finley singled to open the inning and Bautista
smacked the first pitch from Clemens to the wall in center for a double. Finley scored but Bautista got
greedy and was thrown out on an 8-6-5 relay.
The Yankees answered quickly as Jeter singled to start the seventh. Paul O'Neill then singled and
Williams hit into a fielder's choice, forcing O'Neill. Martinez singled to right to score Jeter and muffle the
crowd. That was all until Soriano's home run, which had been enough for New York.

about the tragic events of Sept. 11, but only about baseball. Nobody ever says they dream about playing
Game 4 in the World Series.
This was the ultimate game.
"There's no question what went on in New York inspired us a great deal," Torre said. "We fell short."
It was quite a Series. The Diamondbacks became the first team in World Series history to enter the bottom
of the ninth inning trailing in a Game 7 and then rally to win before the game went into extra innings.
"It's had a little bit of everything," D-Backs manager Bob Brenly said. "It's had great pitching, it's had some
of the most ungodly, timely hitting you're ever going to see in your life. We've had offensive explosions,
we've had great defense and we've had shoddy defense.
"I think people are surprised that this series has gone the way it has," Brenly said, "but I can't wait to sit
back and watch the tapes myself."
Us, too.

If the infant Diamondbacks were nervous playing in their first World

"We didn't buy into all that hype stuff," Brenly said. "It's out there and it's talked about a lot but our guys

It was even tougher for David Justice, whom Torre selected over
Paul O'Neill to start in right. He struck out three times against
Schilling and misplayed Steve Finley's fly ball for an error in the D-

It got worse. Third baseman Scott Brosius misplayed Matt
Williams' ground ball in the fourth, allowing a run to score. And
Derek Jeter was hitless in a World Series for the first time since Game 5 in 1996, ending his string at 14
games.
"We've got a long way to go before we're thinking about winning four World Championships," Torre said.
"There's a lot of real estate out there before we can think about that. I don't allow it."
Johnson won't give them much time to breathe, let alone think.
"I just want to keep doing what we've been doing all year, grinding and going out there and playing the
game hard," Brenly said.
Expect a few more broadcasters to submit their resumes to Major League teams seeking managerial
candidates.
Schilling made Brenly look good, allowing a RBI double to Bernie Williams in the first, a double to Brosius
with two out in the second and a two-out single to Jorge Posada in the fourth. It was the fewest hits by a
team in a World Series game since Atlanta totaled two Oct. 24, 1999, in Game 2 against the Yankees.
"We knew going in that we would like to be patient," Torre said, "but we can't make the pitches hurt us by
having him get ahead in the count like he can because he has too many weapons to push you away."
This postseason, Schilling has allowed just three earned runs over 34 innings for a 0.79 ERA. Brenly
pulled the right-hander after 102 pitches. Does that mean Schilling might start Game 4 instead of Miguel
Batista?
"It might," Brenly said.
How does Schilling do it?

"Focus," he said. "Just being focused on the task at hand. It's one inning, one out, one pitch at a time. In
these situations, it's easier to do when it's the end of the year. This is it. You're playing for all the marbles."
The Yankees did continue their postseason trademark of scoring early. Schilling hit Jeter on the right hand
with one out in the first and then struck out Justice. Williams tapped the ball into the left field corner for a
double to drive in Jeter for his 11th postseason RBI.
But the D-Backs answered immediately and that may have been the difference.
ADVERTISEMENT
Counsell, the only D-Back with a World Series
ring, quickly swung the momentum southwest
with his second postseason homer with one out
in the first to tie the game. Counsell missed the
right field swimming pool by a few feet, driving a
2-1 pitch from Mussina into the right field seats.
"I think that was the turning point of the
ballgame," Brenly said. "We all know how the
Yankees like to get the lead."
Counsell then bunted in his next at-bat in the
third to advance Womack who was hit by a pitch.
The sacrifice wasn't necessary. Gonzalez hit his
third postseason homer this year off a 1-2 pitch
from Mussina to go ahead 3-1.
Add Gonzalez's career-high 57 regular season
homers and his current postseason numbers
and he's in the elite 60-homer group.
Reggie Sanders singled and reached third when Finley was safe on an error by Justice, who had trouble
tracking down Finley's fly ball. Williams hit a sacrifice fly to score Sanders and make it 4-1 and Mark Grace
was intentionally walked. Damian Miller responded with a double down the left field line, scoring Finley.
The Diamondbacks batted around in the third, then sent eight to the plate in a four-run fourth against left-
hander Randy Choate who was added to the roster Saturday. He may want to reconsider his options.
Finley hit a RBI single, another run scored on a fielding error by Brosius and Grace added a two-run
double to go ahead 9-1.
The Diamondbacks are young in World Series experience only. The Yankees have retired 14 uniform
numbers -- and 15 players -- and Arizona has none. For the next week, that doesn't matter.
"You know, the Yankees are who they are," Schilling said. "They've got 37 [38] championship banners and
I think, what, 26 World Series but that does not mean that they are going to beat us."
Not this time.

Brenly isn't looking ahead either.
EARCHABL
HIGHLIGHTS
"You have to play them one game at a time, as boring as that sounds," he said. "That's what works in this
game."
"In our situation, we've been there before," New York first baseman Tino Martinez said. "We know how
long a series can be and how tough it is to win four games. There's a long way to go."
Torre tweaked his lineup against the Big Unit, inserting right-handers Randy Velarde and Shane Spencer.
Southpaws Martinez and Paul O'Neill, who were 0-for-1 and 0-for-3, respectively, against Johnson
lifetime, were spectators. Why?
"Well, 'why' is Randy Johnson," Torre said.
The larger than a saguaro lefty stared down hitters from behind his black glove. He flinched with one out in
the Yankees fourth, walking Velarde who has a career .452 average against Johnson, but then got Derek
Jeter and Bernie Williams to ground out.
Jorge Posada singled leading off the fifth but Johnson returned to strikeout mode and whiffed Spencer
and Alfonso Soriano.
Every time Johnson got a two-strike count, the 49,646 white bandana-waving fans at Bank One Ballpark
cheered for a strikeout. Most of the time, Johnson came through, which is exactly what he's done for
Arizona this postseason.
Johnson, 38, won his first two postseason starts in 1995 with Seattle, then went 0-5 until this year. With
Sunday's win, he's now 3-1 this October with two complete games, a 1.36 ERA and 38 strikeouts.
"He's always had the physical skills to dominate hitters," Brenly said, "and he's just in a very relaxed and
focused zone right now and we hope he stays there for another week."
This is the best week in baseball.
"This is everybody's dream to be here," Johnson said. "We're playing the Yankees, it's the biggest stage in
sports."

Not everyone agreed with home plate umpire
Mark Hirschbeck's calls. Yankee center fielder
Bernie Williams disagreed in the second and
third baseman Scott Brosius vehemently argued
a called third strike in the eighth.
"The last thing we're going to do is blame an

umpire for what we didn't do," Torre said.
It was the first complete game shutout in a World
Series since Schilling did so for Philadelphia on
Oct. 21, 1993, in Game 4 against Toronto.
Andy Pettitte (2-2) deserved better. The only
Yankees lefty in the lineup, Pettitte gave up five
hits over seven innings, striking out eight.
"He was tremendous tonight," Brenly said of
Pettitte who threw 80 pitches, 64 for strikes.
Reggie Sanders hit an infield single to Jeter at
short to lead off the Arizona second and scored
on Bautista's double into the right center field
gap, which has become a Bermuda Triangle for
the Yankees. David Justice won't be going out there any time soon.
With one out in the seventh and a runner at first, Bautista bounced a ball off Pettitte's leg for a single. The
Yankees starter stayed in the game but two pitches later, served up Williams' sixth career postseason
homer to make it 4-0.
"Randy didn't need it. He pitched great," Matt Williams said of his homer.
The 35-year-old veteran third baseman is the first player to homer for three different teams in a World
Series. He also connected for San Francisco in 1989 and for Cleveland in 1997.
The Yankees aren't panicking. This year, they lost the first two games of the Division Series against
Oakland and rallied. In the 1996 World Series, New York lost the first two games to Atlanta and rallied.
"We have been pretty resilient as far as bouncing back from bad things happening," Torre said.
A fan at the BOB held up a sign, "2-0 and we're not Oakland."
It's up to you, New York.

Paul O'Neill blooped a single to left. Kim,
pitching his second inning in relief of starter
Schilling, struck out Bernie Williams. Martinez
then connected on the first pitch, blasting the ball
over the center field fence to tie the game at 3-3.
"B.K. throws every day. It wasn't pushing him
beyond what he can do," Arizona Manager Bob Brenly said about sticking with Kim in the 10th, his third
inning of relief. "We had the lead, six outs to go in the ballgame and that's the way we hoped it would work
out. But it didn't."
Mariano Rivera (2-0) picked up the win, pitching one inning in relief.
New York's Mike Mussina will start Game 5 against Miguel Batista (1-1, 3.95 ERA).
The Yankees know Arizona has Randy Johnson waiting in the

"We took it to the wire tonight," New York's Scott Brosius said.
New York's Shane Spencer and Arizona's Mark Grace exchanged solo home runs, their first in World
Series play, to create a 1-1 tie after four innings and keep the Yankee Stadium crowd of 55,863 in
suspense.
Schilling, who had pestered Brenly to move him up in the rotation, proved his skipper right.
"He's a horse. He doesn't give in," Torre said of Schilling. "He gave them seven innings, gave up one run
and pitched a hell of a ballgame. We were fortunate to stay in there."

The right-hander nearly repeated his Game 1 performance pitch by pitch, holding the Yankees to three
hits for the second time and striking out nine over seven innings.
"Did it look easier? He pitched another outstanding game," Jeter said. "He's a competitor. He did his job.
He made one mistake and 'Spence' hit it out. He's tough but luckily we were fortunate enough to score
some runs late."
"He was throwing the ball hard the whole night," Martinez said. "He was just as sharp as he was in Game
1."
The Yankees had a runner at third in both the sixth and the seventh, but each time Schilling ended the
threat. In the sixth, he got O'Neill to ground out to Grace at first, and in the seventh, he struck out David
Justice swinging. Justice is 1-for-9 in the Series with eight strikeouts.
With one out in the Diamondbacks eighth and the game tied, Luis Gonzalez singled off Mike Stanton.
Erubiel Durazo then doubled over Williams in center to drive in Gonzalez. Williams threw to second
baseman Alfonso Soriano but Soriano's relay home was closer to the Yankees dugout than home plate
and Gonzalez tallied standing up.
Stanton departed, and Matt Williams bounced a ball to Jeter at short. Jeter threw home, trying to get
pinch-runner Midre Cummings, but Cummings beat the throw.
How appropriate that on Halloween, the D-Backs were haunted by missed opportunities.
"We had a lot of chances to score early," Brenly said. "We just couldn't come up with the big knockout."
Spencer's homer, off a 1-0 pitch from Schilling in the third, gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead. Grace, who has
done nothing but gush about Yankee Stadium in his first visit to the historic park, connected on a 3-1 pitch
and parked it in the upper deck in right to tie the game at 1-1.
Orlando Hernandez gave up one run on four hits and four walks, striking out five. He and home plate
umpire Ed Rapuano were seen laughing as Hernandez left with two runners on in the seventh; he and
Rapuano had exchanged words earlier in the game over a checked swing by Matt Williams.
Schilling was pitching on short rest for the first time in his career -- if one doesn't count a game shortened
to two innings because of electrical difficulties at the San Diego stadium. That was different. This is the
World Series. Adrenaline is a factor now.
"I don't think any of us are quite sure what to expect from Curt Schilling," Brenly said before the game.
Maybe he will start Thursday as Jeter guessed. One thing's certain: The Yankees have new life.
"At some point, you just think, 'Well, that's it,'" Stanton said. "Regardless of how well we've been pitched or
how tough the pitcher is on the mound, we just keep going up there with confidence in ourselves and we
get the job done."
The Diamondbacks aren't intimidated by the whole Yankee mystique. Sure, they can trot Yogi Berra,
Whitey Ford and Phil Rizzuto out there -- and they did.
"They believe they are the Roman Empire of baseball, but they still have to play us [Thursday]," Batista
said of the Yankees. "And they have to beat us, because we won't beat ourselves."

"I don't think shocked is the right word," Game 4 co-hero Derek Jeter said of Brosius' homer. "You're
excited but all of the sudden you have to turn your attention to trying to score another run. There's a lot of
emotion there, everyone was excited. But then everyone was saying we have to get it done."
The best-of-seven series will resume out west in a different time zone and a different climate.
Andy Pettitte (2-2, 2.93 ERA) will try to keep the Yankees' bid for a fourth World Championship alive in
Game 6. Unfortunately for him, he's got to go head to head with the Big Unit.
Johnson (3-1, 1.36 ERA) will start Game 6 and Arizona has Curt Schilling ready, willing and waiting for
Game 7. Roger Clemens would start Game 7 for the Yankees if they go that far.
"Certainly with Johnson and Schilling going in 6 and 7, we like our chances," Brenly said.
So does Johnson.
"I'm not going to say anything that will be in othe headlines for Game 6," Johnson said, "but I have a lot of
confidence in my ability. I always have."
The Yankees know what the Big Unit can do after he held them to three hits in Game 2.
"We're not thinking about having to face Randy Johnson or Curt Schilling," Torre said. "(If you do) you get
frustrated real quickly."

Arizona's Miguel Batista appeared calm, cool and very much in control for someone making his first World
Series start and 21st of the season. A poet and a pitcher, the right-hander limited the Yankees to four hits,
all singles and none in the same inning.
ADVERTISEMENT
This was Batista's first Series but not his first
championship game this year. In February,
Batista was the starting and winning pitcher in
the Caribbean World Series for the Dominican
team.
The Yankees should've checked the Mexican
League Hermosillo team for a scouting report.
They probably did.
The leftover buzz from New York's come from
behind 4-3, 10 inning win in Game 4 couldn't rev
up the offense until late. The Yankees were
batting just 160 in the Series and .227 in the
postseason prior to Thursday.
Then came the magic. Jorge Posada doubled to
lead off against Kim in the ninth. The Korean
sidearmer got Shane Spencer to ground out and
struck out Knoblauch but Brosius, the 1998 World Series MVP, slugged a 1-0 pitch into the left field seats.
The 56,018 at Yankee Stadium sprang to life.
This was the final game of the 2001 season at the historic ballyard and even though New York Mayor
Rudolph Giuliani will probably find something else to do with the free time, it was the last for outfielder
Paul O'Neill, who is likely retiring at season's end.
He exited quietly, going 0-for-3, and the crowd gave him a standing ovation when he came to bat in the
eighth. The fans then chanted O'Neill's name again in the top of the ninth and he doffed his cap as he
came off the field.
Thanks for the memories and all those slammed bats, Paul.
Mussina, who gave up five runs on six hits over three innings in Game 1, allowed only one hit over the first
four innings. Finley then notched the second hit off Mussina when he led off the Arizona fifth with his first
postseason homer, sending a 1-2 pitch into the right field seats.
Two outs later, Barajas, starting behind the plate in place of injured Damian Miller, connected in his
second postseason at-bat, launching the ball into the left field seats for a 2-0 lead.
This was the 39th time the World Series has been tied at two wins apiece and the first since 1997 when
'97. Cleveland and Florida were deadlocked. This also will be the first Series to go at least six games since
The winner of Game 5 has gone on to win a 2-2 Series 26 times, including each of the last two occasions:
the Yankees in 1996 and the Marlins in 1997. However, in the four previous occasions, the Game 5 winner
eventually lost the Fall Classic in seven games (Milwaukee in 1982; Boston in 1986; St. Louis in 1987, and
Atlanta in 1991).
The expansion Diamondbacks, the youngest franchise to reach the World Series, may sound like they're
just happy to be here but it's more than that.
"Your goal when you start the season is to win the very last game of the year. That's the last game of the
World Series," Grace said. "If we do it that'll be the first time we'll complete that goal."

-The Mets returned a week later to host the Atlanta Braves in Shea Stadium,
but the Yankees had still not resumed a game in New York yet.
-The Yankees played their first game since the September 11th tragedies in
Chicago versus the White Sox at Comiskey Park. (The White Sox honored
Chicago's policemen and firefighters in pre-game ceremonies).
-The first game when the Yankees returned to Yankee Stadium was Tuesday,
September 25, 2001 to play Tampa Bay. The Yankees lost 0-4, but were
moved by the pre-game ceremony (see ceremony highlights).

Mel Stottlemyre, now the current Yankees pitching coach.
HIGHLIGHTS
Stottlemyre's pupil, Clemens (1-1, 2.66 ERA), who won Game 3 in New York, will be facing his student,
Schilling. The D-Backs right-hander credits a discussion with Clemens as helping him get his career on
the right track.
"If the Lord had sat me down in January and asked me to script out a dream season, I could not have
come up with this," Schilling said.
This will be the first time two 20-game winners have met in the Series' seventh game since 1985 when St.
Louis' John Tudor faced Kansas City's Bret Saberhagen.
Yankees Manager Joe Torre didn't want to look ahead and before Saturday's game called it "Our Game
7." He was off by a day.
"We wanted it like it was a seventh (game) but we didn't have to deal with it as a seventh game," said
Torre later, who even considered using a non-pitcher in mop up relief.
"This is one of those things you don't expect to happen and when it does, you turn the page," Torre said.
"It's a freak thing," Brenly said. "It's not going to happen all the time and it just means we won a ballgame
tonight and forced Game 7. We're very grateful for that."
The momentum in this Series seems to shift every time they change sites. The Yankees tried to make the
desert feel like home, bringing good luck charm and super fan New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
Johnson (4-1), who held the Yankees to three hits in a complete game shutout in Game 2, did his job even
if he wasn't as dominating. He gave up six runs over seven innings and struck out seven.
Torre had tinkered a little with his lineup against the Big Unit, deciding to keep lefty Martinez in. Martinez
exited earlier than Johnson did.
Maybe all those white pompons inspired the D-Backs. Or the threat of going home a day early. Tony
Womack bounced a ball over the right field fence for a ground rule double in the first off a 2-2 pitch from
Pettitte and then scored as Bautista hit the next pitch for a single.

Arizona loaded the bases with one out in the
second on a single by Matt Williams, a double by
Sanders and an intentional walk to Damian
Miller. Williams was thrown out at home on
Johnson's grounder to third baseman Scott
Brosius but Womack followed with a single to
score Sanders and Damian Miller, which Pettitte

called the key hit of the game, and Arizona led 3-
O. Bautista then singled, scoring Johnson to
make it 4-0.
"When you've got Randy and he has a three-run
lead (after Womack's hit), it takes all the
pressure, everything off of him," Pettitte said.
Then came the third. Pettitte walked Colbrunn to
lead off, resulting in a visit from Stottlemyre.
Williams doubled and Pettitte was gone.
Then things got out of control.
Jay Witasick gave up back to back RBI singles
to Sanders and Bell to make it 6-0. Miller
singled, Johnson singled to score Sanders, and
Witasick then struck out Womack. Bautista hit a
two-run single, Luis Gonzalez added a RBI
double and Colbrunn punched a RBI single.
Then Williams collected his second double of the inning, driving in another run, to make it 12-0.
"These kind of games, over the course of a season and especially in the postseason, is an aberration,"
Brenly said.
Arizona gave Johnson a bigger cushion, adding three more runs in the fourth on a RBI double by Miller,
which ended Witasick's outing, an error by Soriano and RBI single by Gonzalez off Randy Choate for a
15-0 lead.
The D-Backs total hits topped the old World Series record of 20 accomplished twice, in 1921 by the New
York Giants and in 1946 by the St. Louis Cardinals.
Pettitte (2-3) gave up seven hits over two plus innings, his shortest postseason outing since he was
shelled in Game 1 of the 1996 World Series by Atlanta and departed after 2 1/3 innings.
"It's disappointing," Pettitte said. "I expected a lot more oupot of myself."
The Yankees did load the bases in the third but Johnson struck out Jorge Posada on 90 mph plus heat.
New York finally broke through in the sixth with RBI singles by Shane Spencer and Luis Sojo.
Yes, Sojo. Torre took regulars Derek Jeter, Posada and Martinez out of the game after five innings.
Before the rout began, Torre talked eloquently about how the theme of this Series has been great pitching.
"This has been some classic stuff going on," Torre said.
Game 7 is on tap. Clemens, Schilling. Can't get any better than that.

Michael Bolton was next, and he joined the choir in singing

"Lean on Me." The audience clapped along, providing the

Bolton, wearing a white suit jacket and a navy NYPD hat,
pumped his fist before walking off the field.
Both teams took the field after that, wearing hats that
commemorated the local rescue units that have been risking
their lives on a daily basis. They lined up along the foul lines,
next to police officers and firemen, shaking hands and waiting
for the next special guest.
"We had a chance to mingle with them before we went onto
the field," Torre said. "Just about every one I shook hands
with said, 'You've got to win for us.' We've been so impressed
with what they've done, and they're looking to us to get their
minds off of things."
"It was pretty special to be out there with those guys," said
Tampa Bay's Ben Grieve. "It kind of puts you in your place a
little bit. You're out there playing baseball when these guys
are trying to help people. You feel a little guilty. You can't
understand what they're going through, no matter how they try
to explain it."
The next emotion needed no introduction, no explanation.
Ronan Tynan, a world-renowned Irish tenor, instantly
summoned the patriotic spirit of everyone in attendance. The
bespectacled singer belted out a spectacular version of "God
Bless America," and as he did so, 300 cadets from the SUNY
Maritime Academy unfurled a giant American flag in the
outfield.
When that was done, the most spontaneous event of the
evening took place. With some down time in between
Sheppard's announcements, many of the fans started
chanting Rudy Giuliani's name. As the mayor stood by the
dugout, the audience repeated his name over and over again,
lauding him for his efforts during this crisis.
Eventually, he would walk out and shake hands with all of the
Yankees, except for a few that he hugged. Torre was one of
the few people in the latter class, and he said it was truly
touching.
"That choked me up, the fans chanting 'Rudy, Rudy," Torre
said. "It was appropriate for him to be out in the middle of the
diamond, because he's been in the middle of this whole thing
for two weeks."
The final order of business, the Star-Spangled Banner, was
sung by Max Von Essen, the son of NYC Fire Commissioner
Thomas Von Essen. As he sang, America was represented
by Challenger, a bald eagle. During the 2000 playoffs,
http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/nyy/news/nyy_news_story.jsp?article_id=n. 2/5/2004
New York Yankees News
Page 3 of 3
Challenger swooped over the playing surface, starting all the
way out in center field.
This time, Challenger didn't fly. Out of respect for those who
lost their lives in this tragedy, the eagle was merely held aloft
on the pitcher's mound.
The players and rescue workers shook hands again after the
national anthem, with many exchanging hats from their
respective organizations.
"It was highly emotional," Stanton said. "There were a lot of
tears standing next to the true heroes and shaking their hands
afterwards."
"I thought it was great standing next to guys that deserved to
be honored," said Scott Brosius. "A lot of times, we get
honored as players for our positions and what we do, while
these guys are getting honored for their actions. It's emotional
to stand next to someone that you know has probably
suffered a loss and has been right in the middle of
everything."
It certainly is, and that makes sense to everybody. It even
stands to reason that the actual game was anticlimactic, after
such an emotional outpouring.
"It was a good way to say thank you," Roger Clemens said.
"Maybe the game was secondary to what went on before it."
"Definitely," said Grieve, when asked if he would remember
this day for the rest of his career. "Not the game, just being
out there at the beginning. I'll remember that. A game's a
game -- you play a ton of those."

"For me, it's kind of mixed emotions," said Giants pitcher Russ Ortiz. "On one
side, you can't help but feel grief and sadness for the ones that died and the lost
family members. But then there's a sense of joy that we're able to be here to
remember what went on and celebrate heroes."
Cubs catcher Joe Girardi, a former New York Yankee, was touched by the
anniversary of the tragedy.
"It was a terrible time for everybody," Girardi said. "You think about what our
country has been through and the job the rescue workers did, and President
Bush and his staff, the CIA, the servicemen and women of the country, and you
feel a lot of thankfulness that we live in such a wonderful country and that people
care so much about you.
"I listened on the radio driving in my car and there's a lot of talk about a year ago
and the sadness and the memorials today in New York and Washington D.C.,
and you get all wrapped up in it again and it's very sad."
Cub fan Michael Roop, 23, a grad student at Indiana State, was wearing a USA
T-shirt with stars on one sleeve and stripes on the other at Wednesday's game.
He said he bought tickets for this game specifically.
"Because I'm American," Roop said. "I'm not going to give in to people who are
going to violate our way of life. I wanted to be in a major city, supporting the land
after 9/11."
During all day games a logo was displayed on the field, outfield walls, bases and
lineup cards, incorporating the Stars and Stripes, the Major League Baseball
logo, a red-white-and-blue ribbon and the phrase "We Shall Not Forget." Fans
attending the games received a T-shirt with the logo, courtesy of MLB, and many
fans wore the shirts during the ceremonies.
At each ballpark the seventh-inning stretch included a rendition of "God Bless
America" and a moment of silence. A letter from the President was read and
honor guards from one or all four branches of the military were present. T-shirts
with the memorial logo were given away to every fan. All night games were
scheduled to pause in silence at 9:11 p.m. local time, with videotapes airing in
memory of those who died in the attacks.

that isn't going to go away."
The Yankees planted a crabapple tree, part of the regional "American Forests"
memorial program, near the monument which was jointly unveiled by Yankees
general partners Harold Z. Steinbrenner and Stephen Swindal. The inscription

on the plaque now sharing a wall with those of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe
DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Miller Huggins reads: "On September 11th, 2001,
despicable acts of terrorism were perpetrated on our country. In tribute to the
eternal spirit of the innocent victims of these crimes and to the selfless courage
shown by both public servants and private citizens, we dedicate this plaque.
These valiant souls, with unfettered resolve, exemplify the true character of this
great nation. Their unity and resiliency during this time of distress defined
American Heroism for future generations."
At Turner Field in Atlanta, the New York Mets wore caps bearing the initials of
the New York Police and Fire Departments during the doubleheader against the
Braves. A bald eagle soared above the stadium and landed in center field during
the singing of "America the Beautiful" and after Atlanta reliever Mike Remlinger
read the letter from President Bush a moment of silence commenced followed by
a 21-gun salute.
"Baseball and sports are part of the healing process," Braves pitcher John
Smoltz said. "But I'll never forget."
At Wrigley Field in Chicago, Bill Kurtis, an Emmy Award-winning broadcaster
based in Chicago, read the letter from President Bush:
"For generations, baseball has endured as a national pastime. Throughout its
rich history, the game has played a significant role in our society. During this
past year, baseball has helped to bring Americans together. In the aftermath of
the attacks, an exciting pennant race and World Series were an important part of
the healing process. As families and friends have continued to gather and enjoy
this great game, we have shown that the spirit of America is strong, and that we
stand united."
"Today was a special day," Cubs outfielder Sosa said. "When the ceremony was
on, I was thinking about it. We're here today to show respect. It could've been
one of us. It's something that goes through your mind and it's something I'll
never forget."
In Cincinnati, long-time Red broadcaster Joe Nuxhall passed out "Let's Roll"
American Flag stickers before the Reds game against Pittsburgh. "It's just a
remembrance of the tragedy of a year ago," said Nuxhall, referring to the "Let's
Roll" slogan taken from the final words of one of the heroes who overpowered
the hijackers of Flight 93, which crashed near Shanksville, PA.
Reds captain Barry Larkin caught the ceremonial first pitch from 14-year-old
Andy Moskal, whose father William perished at the World Trade Center on the
day of the attacks. The Pirates and Reds stood at attention in front of their
respective dugouts, caps removed, as the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office
Bagpipes and Drums Corps marched in from center field, playing John Phillip
Sousa's "The Caissons Go Rolling Along," the song of the United States Army,
followed by "Amazing Grace."
"I'm glad I pitched yesterday instead of today," Reds right-hander Danny Graves
said. "I don't think I could go through with it. It hits you again It's going to take
a lot of strength for everybody to play today."
In St. Petersburg, Army General Tommy Franks addressed the fans before
the game between Tampa Bay and Boston. "I am proud of you," Franks told the
crowd. "Because you represent the sprit of a great nation. You represent the
spirit we need to finish the job -- and we will finish the job."
Franks is the Commander in Chief of U.S. Central Command and is responsible
for U.S. military activity in 25 nations, including the on-going war on terrorist
operations in Afghanistan. Police and fire personnel from around the Tampa Bay
area lined up with Red Sox and Rays players on the field before the game.

At Minute Maid Park in Houston, the Astros and Colorado Rockies lined up in
Opening Day fashion along the first and third base lines to participate in the
poignant tribute, which began with the First U.S. Army Calvary Band from Fort
Hood, Texas performing renditions of "America the Beautiful," "God Bless the
U.S.A" and finally the National Anthem.
A group of 343 firefighters from the Houston Fire Department escorted a large
American flag onto the field. The number represented the 343 firefighters lost
last year on Sept. 11.
"It's nice to give the people that don't get much recognition -- the police
department, the fire fighters -- to give them recognition for what they do,"
Bagwell said. "That's the best thing."
Nine-year-old Skye McCole Bartusiak, an actress and Houston native who has
appeared in several films and television shows including "The Patriot" and "Cider
House Rules" led fans in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The ceremony
concluded when a squad of F-16 jets from the Texas Air National Guard out of
Ellington Field few over the ballpark. There was no traditional ceremonial first
pitch. Instead, a floral arrangement with the lettering "9-11" sat on a pedestal,
along with a baseball, on the pitchers mound to represent the "silent first pitch."
At the Metrodome, Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and Public Safety
Commissioner Charlie Weaver delivered speeches with Ventura proclaiming that
the 11th would be named "First Responder Day" in Minnesota.
The family of slain Minneapolis police officer Melissa Schmidt and Esko, Minn.,
firefighter Kim Granholm helped unfurl a permanent banner that will hang from
the Metrodome roof that reads "Remember the Heroes" with the image of the
Twin Towers.
"It was kind of sad," Twins center fielder Torii Hunter said about the ceremony.
"It was tough to go out there in pregame to try and get stretched and ready. It's
tough to get your mind right when you're thinking about something like that. This
time last year, we weren't playing. It's kind of weird to be out there on 9/11. It
was a day of prayer and remembrance and that's what we did today."
At Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia fans were given a miniature American
flag along with the MLB T-shirt. The Philadelphia Boys Choir performed
renditions of "America the Beautiful" and "God Bless America" as the 56th
Brigade of the Pennsylvania National Guard unfurled an American Flag. The
crowd let out a cheer when Paul Bryant, a member of the Philadelphia K-9 corps
who was at ground zero on Sept. 11, threw out the ceremonial first pitch
accompanied by his German shepherd, Azeem.
"I don't know if you can get it off your mind," Phillies catcher Mike Lieberthal
said. "Obviously to play a game with the tragedy that took place on this date, it's
extra special to have the fans come out and remember but at the same time
forget and try to move on. A baseball stadium is probably a nice play to watch a
game and kind of take it all in and at the same time remember what happened."
At Jacobs Field in Cleveland, the Indians invited 25 sixth-graders from
Rootstown Elementary School. The youngsters sang two songs, one of which
was an original work of a classmate.
"I did it in the fifth grade," said Rachel Michael, who wrote the words to America
Stand Tall. "It was an open assignment, and we could write about whatever we
wanted to. It was shortly after 9-11, so I decided to write something about it
then."
Indians pitcher Jerrod Riggan, a member of the New York Mets last season on
Sept. 11, was among those who were glad baseball remembered Sept. 11.
http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb_perspectives.jsp?ymd=200. 2/5/2004
Major League Baseball News
Page 5 of 6
"Being involved in that first game back in New York with (Mike) Piazza hitting
that home run in the eighth inning, that was like a statement," Riggan said. "I
don't know what kind, but maybe it's we're here to stay -- nothing's gonna beat
us."
At the Ballpark in Arlington, the Rangers opened a Children's Patriotic Art
Exhibit and several Texas players distributed T-shirts and American flags at The
Ballpark gates before the game against Seattle.
"I think it's on all of our minds and will be for a long time," Rangers second
baseman Michael Young said. "We are still dealing with emotions like anger,
sadness, but I hope playing ball can give people something to enjoy during this
time."
Members of the Mariners and Rangers joined law enforcement officials on the
base lines. The marching band from the University of Texas at Arlington
performed several patriotic songs.
"(Today) revives some bad memories. The healing process goes on, but we will
revisit this day for a long, long time," Mariners manager Lou Piniella said.
"Something happened that you can't imagine and it put a bad scar on
everybody's brain. It was even worse from the people who lost family and
friends."
At Miller Park in Milwaukee, four New York City firefighters who toiled amid
the rubble where the World Trade Center once stood participated in ceremonies
on the field before Brewers starter Ben Sheets threw his first pitch. They were in
Milwaukee for a benefit that raised funds for widows of firefighters who lost their
lives on Sept. 11.
"We're just firefighters," said Greg Fagan, a member of Squad Co. 1. "We don't
usually get to do stuff like this. It was an honor, and it was nice for us to take our
minds off of it for a little bit."
Fagan and Bobby West of Squad Co. 1, Jim Finnell of Rescue 4 and Dan Baron
of Rescue 5 were met on the mound by Brewers manager Jerry Royster and
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. Instead of throwing a ceremonial first pitch,
West placed a baseball on the pitcher's mound while the crowd observed a
moment of silence.
The quartet of firefighters brought memories back for St. Louis pitcher Matt
Morris, whose uncle, John, is a firefighter in Manhattan. He, along with Morris'
father, George, an ironworker in Manhattan's Local 580, and other members of
the family joined rescue efforts at Ground Zero on the day of the attack.
"Everybody's out of there now," Morris said. "We went back down and saw it
from the American Express Building. Nobody wants to be there anymore. It's not
a good place."

http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb_perspectives.jsp?ymd-200. 2/5/2004
Rules Instated After September 11, 2001
When play resumed on Sept. 17, it was in a different ballpark environment. Some of the
changes were evident to fans:
Coolers and backpacks were not allowed;
Smaller bags were permitted, but subject to inspection, leading to long delays at
gates and earlier departures from home;
Areas within 100 feet of any ballpark were declared no-parking zones;
A more pronounced police presence existed both outside and inside the parks.
Others weren't as obvious:
All media, as well as other regular working ballpark personnel, required picture IDs for
clearance;
In addition, media had to sign in wherever they needed access (locker rooms,
elevator, press rooms), in many places both before and after games;
Daily, before the gates were thrown open, security forces swept a thorough dragnet
through ballparks, often accompanied by specially trained dogs;
Regular deliveries to parks were inspected.

I did however, include the official web address of the MLB- although there is no mention of the 2001 World Series-
