2001 ALDS, Game 3: Yankees at A's (EP5)
Résumé de l'épisode 5
NY Yankees 1 at Oakland A's 0, F -- The "Jeter Flip" changes the Series' momentum. With their backs against the wall for the first time since 1997, the Yankees traveled to Oakland one loss away from elimination. The A's Barry Zito was holding the Yankees at bay, and the Yanks' Mike Mussina was also tossing a gem. The key turning point came on a bang-bang play in the bottom of the 7th, when Terrence Long drilled a ball into the right field corner. Yankee right fielder Shane Spencer fielded and threw toward the plate, where Jeremy Giambi was trying to score from first without sliding. Shortstop Derek Jeter, up the first base line, cut the throw off and executed a backhanded flip to Posada, who tagged Giambi out, 9-6-2. The eye-popping play preserved the lead, ended the inning, and turned the Series momentum the Yankees' way.
