among several firsts, the 2001 world series was: the first world series championship for the diamondbacks; the first world series ever played in the state of arizona and the mountain time zone; the first championship for a far west state other than california; the first major professional sports team from the state of arizona to win a championship; and the earliest an mlb franchise had ever won a world series (the diamondbacks had only existed for four years). the home team won every game in the series, which had only happened twice before, in 1987 and 1991. the diamondbacks outscored the yankees, 37–14, as a result of large margins of victory achieved by arizona at bank one ballpark relative to the one-run margins the yankees achieved at yankee stadium. arizona's pitching held powerhouse new york to a .183 batting average, the lowest in a seven-game world series. this and the 2002 world series were the last two consecutive world series to have game sevens until the world series of 2016 and 2017. the 2001 world series was the subject of an hbo documentary, "nine innings from ground zero", in 2004.
