Why was the 2001 World Series so iconic?
A few different reasons really. First off, it was the latest in the year a World Series ever started (Oct. 27) because of games being pushed back on account of 9/11. Also, the Arizona Diamondbacks were only in their fourth season of existence when they reached the Series (a record). The Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees in the Series, a team which has won by and far the most Championships, making the Diamondbacks' victory sort of an underdog story.
