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. 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 tying the MLB regular season record of 116 games won, and baseball's patriotic return after a week's worth of games being postponed due to 9/11.

Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
“At this season I seldom had a visitor. When the snow lay deepest no wanderer ventured near my house for a week or fortnight at a time, but there I lived as snug as a meadow mouse.”
