I was just about to post a clip, it was Jeremy. All he had to do was slid against Derek Jeter. I still can't believe it.

0:28 / 0:52 Derek Jeter makes "The Flip" to nab Giambi at the plate in the 2001 ALDS

It was a nice play by Jeter, but would have been moot with a slide.

Wow. Only 47 such a shame. As a player he was the lesser of the Giambi brothers but he still made it to the majors. I mainly remember him from Moneyball.

" Giambi's gone, Art."

[Karl Spooner]

No, Cerone would have had him even if he did slide. He was actually anticipating a slide and was lucky to get his right calf.

Yeh, I was watching that game. Just a great heads upmplay by Jeter. It took a perfect play to get Giambi and Jeter made it.

Safe!

Excellent play and the umpire was excited to call it correctly. A’s stadium is amazing: big, cold, and kind of depressing. Concrete everywhere, huge foul groups and few fans. I remember how Canseco and McGuire always scanned the seats for ladies while walking up to the plate as if no one was noticing.

[Karl Spooner]

I remember the broadcasters saying "why was Jeter even there to make that play!"?

It was amazing.

[Karl Spooner]

Can’t argue with you, very close. Could have went either way.

Vaxxed?

I like former St. Louis Cardinal pitcher Al Hrabosky’s story of his three run grand slam home run.

He was so excited about actually hitting one over the fence that he passed the runner in front of him and scored ahead of him. Ump called him out. Three run grand slam!

Yep.. and to this day, it was clear that was what won that series for the Yankees. The A’s were never the same the rest of the way. They had the Yankees on the ropes and let them up. A slide would’ve absolutely scored Giambi.
