2001
In a thrilling contest, the Yankees defeat the Diamondbacks, 4-3 in 10 inings, to tie the Series at two games apiece. Tino Martinez's 2-out, 2-rn home run in the bottom of the 9th ties the game, and Derek Jeter's bast in the bottom of the 10th wins it for New York. Both homers come off Byung-Hyun Kim who relieved Curt Schilling in the 8th inning. Mariano Rivera gets the win in relief for the Yankees.

Jeter hit the home run just a little bit past midnight New York Time. Setting up the "Mr. November" nickname.

1972
The Phillies trade IF Don Money and two others to the Brewers for four ptchers, including Jim Lonborg and Ken Brett.

Setting up this series of Money baseball cards.


Unfortunately, the 1975 Don Money TOPPS card is not in this collage and I can't find it on-line. That one is my favorite and may be somewhere in the basement. Looks like my Halloween night is spoken for.
