Derek Jeter becomes Mr November

2001 world series

On October 31, 2001 — For the first time since the Philadelphia Athletics’s Mule Haas hit a game-tying two-run home run in Game 5 of the 1929 World Series, a team comes from behind to tie a Fall Classic game in the 9th inning and went on to win in extra innings. A two-out, two-run home run by Tino Martinez in the bottom of the 9th ties the game, and Derek Jeter hits a home run in the bottom of the 10th, giving the Yankees a 3 – 2 victory over Arizona to knot the World Series at two games apiece. Both homers come off Byung-Hyun Kim, who relieves Curt Schilling in the 8th inning. Mariano Rivera gets the win in relief for the Yankees.

Jeter, now dubbed Mr. November, wins it after the stroke of midnight with a full count two-out shot and knots the series at two games apiece.

Following the 2010 season, a panel of experts at the MLB Network will vote this game the 12th greatest game of the past fifty years.
