In late October 2000, New York City was the epicenter of the baseball world, as the New York Yankees and New York Mets faced off in the 2000 World Series.

The Mets were coming into the second game of the Nationals series on fire.

Then, the Mets promptly took a 5-0 lead over the Washington Nationals in the first 1 1/2 innings, with Bo Bichette hitting two home runs in two at-bats off left-hander Foster Griffin.
