World Series Game 7 had it all. It had Derek Jeter winking at Curt Schilling to start off the game. It had Schilling and his hero Roger Clemens each pitching six shutout innings. It had the Diamondbacks taking the lead, the Yankees tying and then taking a lead of their own on Alfonso Soriano's home run. And finally, it had the Diamondbacks coming back against the seemingly invincible Mariano Rivera in the bottom of the ninth. This isn't just the best baseball game of the decade; it's one of the best games ever played.
