It has been 12 years since Derek Jeter made one of the most memorable plays in a career chock-full of memorable plays.
In the 12th inning of a tie game against the Red Sox, Trot Nixon popped up down the left field line. Jeter, in a dead sprint from his shortstop position, made an over the shoulder catch. He had so much momentum that he launched himself over the railing and wound up two rows deep. He emerged with a cut on his chin and blood running from his cheek. The Yankees went on to win the game in the bottom of the 13th inning on a John Flaherty single.
