25 Best Yankees Games of the Past 25 Years: Ibañez heroics lead Yanks to wild win over A’s

When you think about Raúl Ibañez’s Yankee stint, by far the first things to come to mind would be his playoff heroics. In the crucial Game 3 of the 2012 ALDS against the Orioles, he hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning with the Yankees down to their final two outs. A couple innings later, he won the game with a walk-off home run, giving the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the series.

In the ALCS, he then hit another crucial home run. Down by two and down to their last out in the ninth inning against the Tigers, Ibañez hit a two-run home run, tying the game after the Yankees had started the inning down 4-0.
