Show Notes
October9, 1996. Yankee Stadium, The Bronx. Yanks-O's, ALCS Game 1. 13 year-old Jeffrey Maier's blatant interference with O's outfielder Tony Tarasco turns the 2nd out of the 8th inning into a game-tying homer. With no instant replay -- that rule change is still a decade away -- Ump Rich Garcia's inexplicable "miss," stands 😭😂. An hour later, The Yanks walk it off in extras.
