The 'Final at-bat of every World Series since 2000' quiz

Happy 58th birthday to five-time All-Star, Home Run Derby and World Series champion Luis Gonzalez!

Gonzalez played 19 years in the Major Leagues, racking up 2,591 hits, 1,439 RBIs and 354 home runs. But he’s most famous for hitting a walk-off bloop single in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The championship prevented what could have been a fourth-consecutive title for the Yankees, and came for a club that played its inaugural season just four seasons previous in 1998. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the final batter vs. pitcher matchups in every World Series since 2000 can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
