(This article is about the 2000 Major League Baseball season only. For information on all of baseball, see 2000 in baseball.) The 2000 Major League Baseball season ended with the New York Yankees defeating the New York Mets in Game 5 of the World Series, known as the Subway Series because both fans and the two teams could take the subway to and from every game of the series. A record 5,693 home runs were hit during the regular season in 2000. Ten teams hit at least 200 home runs each, while for the first time since 1989 and only the fifth since 1949 no pitcher pitched a no-hitter.
