There are some very rare occasions in the game of baseball that make it's fans bite their nails, cover their eyes - and sit right on the edge of their seat. And while these occasions are rare -- this year's World Series can definitely be classified as one of those rare moments.

After six grueling and seesaw battles between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Yankees -- they will meet tonight for Game Seven of the World Series -- with either team walking away with all the marbles -- and the World Series Championship.

This is the first time since 1964 that a team has forced the Yankees into a Game Seven of the World Series -- and the first team in my memory that has given the Yankees such a run for their money. In the last four World Series in 1996, 1998, 1999 and the Subway Series of 2000, the Yankees seemed to win without a fight -- either winning it in five -- or sweeping in four -- not this time.

This time, I have to confess that the Arizona Diamondbacks, despite being a five-year-old team -- has been the Yankees most formidable opponent that I have ever seen them face. From their pitching, to their outfield -- to their own power hitters -- this has not been an easy Series. And while the Yankees went from a two-game deficit to take a three game to two game lead -- the Diamondbacks came back very strong last night with an unbelievable fifteen to two victory over the Bronx Bombers -- forcing them into a Game Seven for the first time in thirty-seven years.

This is not the first time the Yankees have been one win away from the World Series Championship -- but it is the first time that I am worried. I have seen the Yankees in worse predicaments then they are in tonight, but not against a team of this caliber. The Diamondbacks, although still an infant in the world of baseball -- have proven themselves to be quite a match against the most winningest team in baseball -- all the way to the last possible game.

I will no doubt be sitting in front of my television tonight cheering my home team to victory along with all of my friends, I just hope that our cheers and prayers do not go unanswered. C'mon Yanks -- do it for me -- do it for New York -- and do it for Doug.
