The Texas Rangers, though not in contention for the playoffs, were eager to play the spoiler and deny the Mariners this record-setting victory. The crisp, autumnal air of October baseball was heavy with anticipation as the game unfolded, a tension that was only heightened by the recent events of 9/11, which had led to a temporary suspension of the season and had imbued the game with a greater sense of unity and national pride.
