What you don't know about game 7 of the 2001 World Series
Fire Joe Morgan has an entry 1/2/07 about the 7th game of the 2001 World Series, & how the
winning run scored. You've never heard this before because the major media blame Mo. It's so easy to do, because no one speaks up in Mo's defense, least of all the YES Network or any so-called Yankee blogs or even the supposed Mariano fan site. But Fire Joe Morgan happens to understand Mo (in spite of the fact that he's a Yankee), and they aren't too lazy to look at the facts, such as the following play by Scott Brosius (whom we all like, that's not the point):

- "You might remember the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 in 2001. Jay Bell laid down a shitty bunt, picked up by Mo Rivera, who quickly tossed to get the force out at third. Replays showed that Brosius had plenty of time to get Bell at first on a double play, but instead, he held the ball. Jay Bell would go on to score the winning World Series run. In other words, the last time Scott Brosius was involved in a professional baseball play, he basically choked on the biggest stage possible. He also didn't fare too well in game 2 of that World Series: see "GOAT.""
