THE STORY OF 2000 WORLD SERIES
NEW YORK YANKEES
The 2000 World Series, the 96th edition of Major League Baseball (MLB)'s
championship series, featured a crosstown matchup between the two-time defending
champions New York Yankees of the American League (AL) and the New York Mets of
the National League (NL). The Yankees defeated the Mets four games to one to win
their third consecutive championship and 26th overall. It marks, to date, the last World
Series with a repeat champion.

THE STORY OF 2000 WORLD SERIES
NEW YORK YANKEES
It was the first postseason Subway Series since 1956. The Yankees were in the World
Series for the third consecutive season and fourth in the past five years, and 37th
overall. This made it the most of any team in MLB. The Mets qualified to play in the
World Series for the fourth time in franchise history, making this the most of any
expansion franchise in MLB and its first since winning the 1986 World Series.

THE STORY OF 2000 WORLD SERIES
NEW YORK YANKEES
Under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement between MLB and the new World
Umpires Association signed in 2000, the traditional separate National League and
American League umpiring staffs were discontinued. All umpires were now
consolidated into the Major League Baseball umbrella, with an interim uniform used
during the regular season. During the 2000 postseason, the new umpire uniforms
(black and cream shirts), with the Major League Baseball logo on the caps and shirts,
were used for the first time.

THE STORY OF 2000 WORLD SERIES
NEW YORK YANKEES
The Yankees were the first team in baseball to three-peat as champions since the
1972–1974 Oakland Athletics and the first professional sports team to accomplish the
feat since the 1996–1998 Chicago Bulls. 2000 would be the last World Series title the
Yankees would win for nine years, though they would remain competitive each year.
They lost the 2001 World Series to the Arizona Diamondbacks in seven games and the
2003 World Series to the Florida Marlins in six games.

THE STORY OF 2000 WORLD SERIES
NEW YORK YANKEES
This was the final World Series the New York Yankees won while playing at the old
Yankee Stadium (as previously mentioned, they lost in 2001 and again in 2003) and
the final World Series played at Shea Stadium. Both stadiums closed at the end of
the 2008 Major League Baseball season. The first season at the new Yankee
Stadium (2009) ended with the Yankees winning their 27th, meanwhile, the 2015
New York Mets hosted their first ever World Series at Citi Field, where they lost to
the Kansas City Royals in five games.
