Hugely historic piece! Congrats! 
BTW, I went to Game 1 of the 2001 World Series @ AZ.
When I parked my rental car high up in the open parking structure adjacent to what was then known as Bank One Ballpark (The Bob). I happened to glance out the opening in front of my car. I quickly noticed that there were snipers on all of the rooftops surrounding the ballpark, which sent a shiver down my spine and had me questioning whether it was actually safe to be at this game in light of 9/11...
Ironically the seats directly behind us where we had our tickets were occupied by about a dozen NYFD First Responders that were in attendance and were being honored. They were being interviewed prior to the game and I got to listen firsthand to the interview.
Memories that I will not soon forget in my lifetime...
