2001 Major League Baseball season

The 2001 Major League Baseball season finished with the Arizona Diamondbacks defeating the New York Yankees in a Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. The attacks of September 11 pushed the end of the regular-season from September 30 to October 7. Because of that, the World Series was not completed until November 4, therefore it was called The November Series^{[citation needed]}. The 2001 World Series was the only World Series to end in November until the 2009 World Series, and 2010 World Series which was scheduled to end on November 1 at the earliest and ended on November 4. This season was memorable for the Seattle Mariners' achievement of 116 games won, and baseball's patriotic return after a week's worth of games being postponed due to 9/11.
