One of the greatest pitchers of our era, Clemens was especially dominant during the 2000 American League Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners. Buoyed by a strong performance from his offense, “The Rocket” notched 15 strikeouts and a 5-0 shutout for the Yankees. New York would go on to knock off the Mariners in the ALCS, finally upending the New York Mets in the 2000 World Series.
