Of some of the more recent memorable moments that have taken my breath away... Just off the top of my head... ~shivers~
The fans shouting... Paul O'Neill http://enquirer.com/editions/2001/11/02/oneill_zoom.jpg Mariano Rivera collapsing on the mound in tears of joy.

Will those be on anytime soon? -------------------- Change is here and its name is Mangini.

This always brings a tear to my eye.
Subway Series Hero In the 2000 World Series against the Mets, Jeter had nine hits in 22 at-bats (.409), including two doubles, a triple and two homers. His first-pitch homer off Bobby J. Jones set the tone for the Yankees' 3-2 victory in Game Four, and his one-out homer off Al Leiter created a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning of Game Five's 4-2 clincher. The homers supplied his two runs batted in for the Series and sparked his .864 slugging average. He also walked three times. Jeter's 19 total bases set a five-game Fall Classic record. He also tied five-game WS records with his nine hits and six runs scored. The poor METS didn't stand a chance.

I could bring up the last time we SWEPT the Yankees in 2004.  I guess the Yankees needed a preview of the 2004 ALCS.
