20-year Marliniversary: Derrek Lee rocks John Rocker as Fish stun Braves late

During his time with the Atlanta Braves, left-handed reliever John Rocker was certainly controversial though largely reliable.

On this day 20 years ago, his final outing as a member of the Braves was memorable. For Rocker, however, it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. In his final game with Atlanta, Derrek Lee blasted a two-run home run in the ninth inning to lift the Florida Marlins to a 3-2 victory at Turner Field.

Trying to take three of four from the Braves, Florida was down to its last out on June 21, 2001.
