Subway Series vs. Rams |
| Why it is on the list: The last one was in 1956 and New Yorkers had dreamed of its return. When it came, fans decked out in their favorite teams' colors and shaved logos into their hair -- a rilvary in good fun and with no signs of violence or riots. In the end, after five games against the Mets, the Yankees once again ruled the world, their third consecutive World Series championships. Why they are on the list: In 1999, the Rams finished 4-12 and despite the success they had leading up to the postseason in 2000, critics were still saying that the team hadn't faced any tough opponents. Then in the final minutes of Super Bowl XXXIV, it came down to quarterback Kurt Warner's arm against the Titan defense. With the score tied at 16-16 and 2:05 remaining, Warner heaved the ball down the right sideline where Rams receiver Isaac Bruce slowed and outjumped cornerback Denard Walker to grab the ball. Then Bruce dodged safety Anthony Dorsett and ran in for the 73-yard game-winning touchdown. |
