On July 1, 2004, the Boston Red Sox came to town to face the Yankees in a midsummer clash between the two rivals. In the bottom of the 13th inning, John Flaherty singled to bring Miguel Cairo home and give the Yankees a 5-4 victory. The walkoff single however gets overshadowed by one of Derek Jeter’s most iconic plays.
The Red Sox’ were threatening to take the lead with runners on first and third, two outs in the top of the 12th inning, when pinch hitter Trot Nixon hit a popup down the third baseline. Derek went into a full sprint that allowed him to make an over the shoulder grab and end the inning.
