Random factoids
The Yankees hit .183 (42-for-229) for the Series, the lowest average ever for a team in a Series that went at least seven games. The lowest previous mark was St. Louis' .185 against Kansas City in 1985.
Arizona posted a 1.94 ERA, lowest since Cincinnati's 1.70 in a four-game sweep over Oakland.
Randy Johnson became the first pitcher to win five games in one postseason. He won twice in the NLCS and three times in the World Series.
The Game 7 matchup of 20-game winners Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling was the first in any World Series game since 1996 (John Smoltz vs. Andy Pettitte) and the first in Game 7 since 1985 (Bret Saberhagen vs. John Tudor).
In 34 Games 7s, the home and visiting teams have each now won 17 times.
The Diamondbacks fanned 70 times, most ever in World Series. Oakland fanned 62 times vs. the Mets in 1973.
Curt Schilling and Johnson were named co-MVPs. The only other time that happened was 1981, when Ron Cey, Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager shared the award for the Dodgers.
Mariano Rivera had been 8-for-8 in World Series save chances.
David Justice has played in the last three Game 7s and lost them all. He was with Cleveland in 1997 and Atlanta in 1991.
For the Series, Schilling won just one game, but was dominant. The Yankees hit just .162 off him (12-for-74). Until he tired in the seventh inning and the Yankees went 5 for their last 9 against him, he held the Yankees to a .108 average (7-for-65).
Derek Jeter hit .148. His only RBI was his game-winning homer in Game 4.
The Yankees scored only 14 runs in the Series. Eight of those runs came on the six home runs they hit.
