Oct 2000.. . .The Yanks last won a World Series defeating the New York Mets in five games.
Nov. 2000....New York elects Hillary Clinton, an Illinois native who declares herself "A lifelong Yankees fan," to the Senate.
Since then it's been a series of disappointments:
2001: The usually reliable Mariano Rivera gets roughed up in the 9th inning of game 7 and the Yankees lose the World Series to Arizona Diamondbacks.
2002: An 8 run 5th inning finishes the Yankees as they Lose the Division Series to Anaheim Angels in four.
2003: Lost World Series to Florida Marlins in six in which the Marlins become the first opposing team to win the World Series at Yankee Stadium since 1981.
2004: In the biggest choke in sports history, After being up 3-0, the Yankees lose the next four and lose the Championship Series to Red Sox in seven.
2005: Yankees bat 0.194 with runners in scoring position and lose Division Series to Anaheim Angels in five.
2006: Touted by some as having the best offense of all time, the Yankees after winning game 1 in a series that everyone and their mom thought they would sweep, the Yankee bats fall asleep including a stretch where they were shut out for 20 2/3 innings and lose the Division Series to the Tigers 3-1
Coincidence? I Think not
Let's hope it also doesn't affect the Mets
