Atlanta Braves 1 at NY Yankees 4, F — The Yankees became the first team to sweep consecutive World Series in 60 years — since the DiMaggio-led Yankees did it to the Cubs and Reds in 1938-39 – when they beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1 in Yankee Stadium. After a regular season filled with personal tragedies and illnesses, the final game of the decade saw 56,752 fans cheer on Roger Clemens for seven-plus innings as he allowed just one run, then sat back and watched as Mariano Rivera finished off the Braves for the Yankees’ 25th World Championship.
