Starting lineups in Game 1 of the 2000 Subway Series.

The Mets dropped Game 1 in heartbreaking fashion, blowing a one-run lead in the ninth and then losing on a two-out walk-off single in the 12th. Although the Mets lost the series in just five games, all five games were remarkably close.

The Yankees overcame a five-run ninth-inning rally by the Mets to win Game 2 in another one-run affair. The Mets then won their first and only game of the series when it moved back to Shea, doing so by a 4-2 score. The Yankees, however, closed out the series with one- and two-run victories in Games 4 and 5, respectively.

You’ll have three minutes for this quiz. Good luck, and remember to post your time and score in the comments!
