The Yankees won the World Series for the third consecutive year defeating the New York Mets in the first “Subway Series” in 44 years while Jeter hit .409 with two home runs, two doubles and a triple, winning the Series MVP award, and becoming the first player with win the All-Star game and Series MVP awards in the same season.
