Jeffrey Maier incident

The Jeffrey Maier incident occured during Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. Twelve-year-old Jeffrey Maier deflected a batted ball, hit by Derek Jeter, into the Yankee Stadium stands for what umpires ruled to be a home run, rather than fan interference. His interference altered the course of Game 1.[1] The resulting home run allowed the Yankees to tie the score.[2] They were victorious in the game and won the series four games to one.
