Our celebration of 2001 may be over, but Fox Sports Arizona will be replaying the 2001 World Series victory parade on Monday - a decade to the day after it happened - at 7:00 pm. That's just the start of the month; if you're pining for the D-backs, they will also be screening their choice of 10 D-backs telecasts we're most thankful forin November, beginning at 5pm on Tuesday. That will be Ian Kennedy's post-fatherhood shutout, and they work up to a Thanksgiving banquet of four games, glazed with a lovely honey-baked coating. Or at least, they will be in Snakepit Towers, anyway...
