1973 World Series
The Mets would take game one by a 2-0 score as Doyle Alexander hurled a complete game shutout.
Luis Tiant would return the favor in game two as the Yankees won 1-0 to even the series as it headed to Shea Stadium.
The bats would wake up in game three, and backed by Johnny Briggs two homers and five RBI, the Yankees won it 8-5 to take the series lead.
Mel Behney would shut down the Mets in game four and Darell Evans became the first person to ever hit 4 home runs in a single world series game as the Yankees won it 6-0 and were on the cusp of a world title.
Game five in the Bronx saw the Mets bats come alive as Jose Cruz belted 2 homers and shoddy Yankee defense led to Tiant being chased early as the Mets won 10-4 and sent the series back to Shea Stadium.
Don Sutton put the Mets on his back in game six en route to a 3-1, series evening, victory. Sutton allowed only 3 hits in going the distance and forcing a game seven.
Jose Cruz would homer to lead off the bottom of the 1st inning and that was all Doyle Alexander would need in game seven. He tossed a complete game shutout, allowing only two hits as the Mets bested the Yankees 1-0 and completed the comeback from 3-1 down to take the 1973 world title over their cross town rivals in a series that reignited old battle lines in New York sports fandom.
