1996 ALCS, Game 1 - Jeffrey Maier Steals One For the Yanks

October 9, 1996 - Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY -

The Yankees were behind the Orioles 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning. The then-12 year old Jeffrey Maier reached over the fence separating the right field stands and the field of play and deflected a deep fly ball hit by Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter. The Yankees went on to win the game and series. Oh, and that's Jeffrey playing college baseball for Wesleyan College in 2006. How old do you feel now?
