Movie Time
This seventy-minute video offers over fifty minutes of Series coverage, including pitching duels, base-running blunders, and surprise heroes.
Game 2, of course, is best known for the infamous bat-throwing incident between Yankees hurler Roger Clemens and Mets slugger Mike Piazza, which you'll see from several angles (the overhead is the most unusual and most interesting).
A bonus is this video's inclusion of something as small (yet significant) as Paul O'Neill's tough ten-pitch walk that began the tying rally in Game 1, and there are interviews with role players such as Luis Sojo and Benny Agbayani as well as stars Derek Jeter (the series MVP) and David Justice.

The 2000 World
Series, otherwise known as the "Subway Series," was
the first intra-city matchup since 1956. While the New York Yankees
defeated the Mets in a brief five games, it was hard-fought all
the way. Every game was decided by no more than two runs, and
the first and fifth were won in the Yankees' final at-bat.
The Yankees won
their third straight championship and their fourth in five years,
as series MVP Derek Jeter and both teams' pitchers turned in
dazzling performances. History, though, may remember this World
Series most for Game 2's bizarre bat-throwing incident between
Yankees hurler Roger Clemens and Mets superstar Mike Piazza.

 "Of
the recent Home Video Champions World Series tapes, this 2000
edition featuring the Subway Series between the Yankees and Mets
is far and away the best. There is a little less on the regular
season and playoffs than we usually see on these tapes, making
room for a historical retrospective on the Subway Series going
back to the first Yankees-Giants match up in 1921.
What makes this
tape so good is that in addition to capturing all the highlights
of the five games series, this particular tape takes the time
to dissect the key plays, the prime example of which would be
Todd Zeile's ball off the top of the fence in left-center. They
also make much better use of the interviews with the players
and especially of Joe Torre in terms of getting his thoughts
on the key moments from a manager's perspective. Consequently,
this tape provides some nice insights for true students of the
game. I have four tapes in my collection and this is clearly
the best of the bunch and the way they should be doing it in
the future."
 "This
video is really very good! It gives a good review of the whole
series with excellent backround information on both teams. Going
into the history of NY subway series was done well. Good comments.
This was one of three baseball videos that were on my wish list.
The
59 Minute Baseball Practice -The Best! A must for Little League
parents & coaches. When it Was A Game- Great! Baseball historians
will love this! All three videos are a Christmas Tree must! Enjoy
the World Series video. A treat for all, not just New Yorkers!"
