You beat me to it. She's risen to become my favorite narrator. It was a slow conversion, because I was raised, like everyone else, to understand sports through the filter of male voices only. The rasp of Johnny Most. The monosyllabic bass of John Madden. My grandfather passing the torch of Boston's epic tragedies and glorious conquests to my dad. You get it. Bobby Orr was god. Then Larry Bird was Jesus, while Red Sox broke our hearts and tested our faith. There was not a single drop of femininity involved. So, kudos to Ms. Morris for her wry delivery, omniscient understanding of nuance, and her journalistic integrity- unbiased and unsympathetic. She says, "You knew the outcome, but I'm going make you believe that the fictional is possible. Here is glory and here is agonizing defeat. That's life, boys."
It’s so funny you say this, I rewatched Moneyball recently and when I saw Philip, I literally thought it was Buck Showalter playing himself at first glance. Had to remind myself they were two different guys lmao
The Jeffrey Maier incident gets all the attention & the O’s taking 2 in the Bronx changes the complexion of the series, but the real turning point was Todd Zeile’s botched fake throw that led to the Yankees taking the lead in G3. Very next batter, Mussina serves up a hanger that Cecil Fielder hits halfway to Lutherville & the Orioles never really challenged again. Ultimately I think the Yankees would have won the series as they had the better team. Now 97, the Orioles blew an absolute golden opportunity against Cleveland. After that, Peter Angelos forces out Davey Johnson & the team doesn’t sniff the postseason again for 14 years
Exactly. That was the turning point because the Orioles were four outs away from going up 2-1 with the worst Yankee starter, Kenny Rogers, throwing the next day. The Zeile play which allowed Bernie Williams to score the go-ahead run (after BJ Surhoff had done an excellent job holding Bernie at third) rattled Mussina who then gave up a homer to Fielder that made it into the first row despite the wind blowing everything back (other nights that would have gone fifty feet further). The Maier play did not demoralize the Orioles like Kirk Gibson's homer demoralized the A's in 1988. They bounced back in Game 2 and could have put a chokehold on the series in Game 3 but in the end they just came unraveled and proved why they were not the better team that year.
So if the Maier incident never happens or was correctly called then the orioles still could have been up 2-1 with Kenny Rogers going in game 4. Hence the reason it gets so much attention. It was the start of a decade and half long series of events that always seemed to benefit the Yankees. See the “Jeter flip” against the A’s. Then again maybe the Oriole’s spirit was broken in game 3 due to the incident in game 1 & their feeling was no matter how great we play everything is just going to come up roses for the Yankees. Regardless the fact that play was allowed to happen is a disgrace to this day. Who knows if it helps the orioles win, but it’s still a disgrace.
@@epaddon One day one Orioles fan is going to do they exact same thing to the Yankees, and the only reason why it was controversial rule a home run because it was revenge for Roberto Alomar for spitting in the face of the umpire, and that is the truth the hold truth and nothing but the truth
1. Congratulations and welcome back Clara! Hope you and baby Clara are doing well! 2. Game 7 2006 NLCS - Cardinals Mets deserves an episode. Mets 2006 season with acquisitions Carlos Delgado, Paul Lo Duca, Xavier Nady, John Maine and Billy Wagner, Endy Chavez catch, Yadier's ninth inning HR off Yadier Molina, Beltran striking out looking with young pitcher Adam Wainwright as closer. Cardinals recent post season woes and heartbreak after making three straight NLCS'. I still utter "Aaron ******* Heilman"
And here are the cheating defenders out of the woodwork like it just happened yesterday. You’d think 28 world championships would allow them to concede that maybe they won one (1) game in less than honorable fashion. You’d be wrong.
Some of us in Baltimore knew it was the umps fault for blowing the call and were more annoyed at Tarasco than the kid because Tony didn’t jump. The ball likely would have hit off the top of his glove due to him staying on the warning track. The ump also definitely calls interference if Tony jumps for the ball.
Alomar deserves to be enemy number 1. Should have been suspended by the team for all of his disgusting actions. Everything happening after your team refused to discipline him was pure karma.
Not a Yankees fan by any means but I do have respect for Bernie Williams. What's not mentioned is what happened to Mel Hall after his playing days. To say that he was a sleazebag is putting it mildly.
I’m temperamentally pacifistic, but I like to imagine Bernie running straight to the dugout after touching home, and socking Mel Hall right in the mouth.
@@GoBlue_yanks42 Hall did that to himself at Old Timers Day 1992. When he saw the Old Timers stretch before the game, Hall said, "what are these old guys doing?" Thank goodness Showalter saw through Hall's condescending quote.
1:11 wow that 1995 ALDS sounds really interesting, I wonder if somebody made a 24 minute video about it as part of a legendary 6 part documentary? That would be neat.
I thought Buck Showalter was awesome, but in the bottom of the 9th in game 5 of the 1995 ALDS in Seattle, he left David Cone on the mound after he'd thrown over 140 pitches and could no longer throw strikes. I've never understood that decision. Cone walked the bases loaded then gave up the tying run, and the Mariners won it two innings later. There were bullpen arms available and Cone was already getting hit hard in the 8th. Letting him pitch the 9th was highly questionable; leaving him in after he was so obviously spent was baffling. Buck gave Seattle that series. So I fully expected Steinbrenner to fire him and I thought it was merited.
I always liked Buck as a Yankee fan and always defended him but it's a reason why the Yankees won a ring right after he was gone. Same with the D-Backs who won it the following year after letting him go. He was more of the in between skipper while you find your permanent one.
I always thought this moment should be featured in a video about what would have happened if Maier doesn't snatch the ball. For me, because the outfielder never tried to jump up and catch the ball, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game.
So its not a HR, its a double (the ball clearly doesnt go over the fence). After that double, the Yankees got a single Line Drive to Deep 1B. If Jeter doesnt score from 2nd, the Yankees doesnt score on that drive. It completely change the outcome of the game.
Ball was just gonna bounce off the wall anyway if the kid doesn't interfere. Tarasco was in no position to make the catch not even jumping. At least that's what my 10th grade gym teacher said when he overheard us kids talking about the game.
This is crazy to me. The kid reaches over the fence by like two feet and the ball is coming almost straight down. It's counterintuitive but the fact that Tarasco doesn't jump is actually MORE evidence that he definitely would've caught it, and they actually mention this on the broadcast. To say that the outcome wouldn't change if it had been a double instead of a home run is kinda ridiculous tbh. Not saying the Orioles def win the game but it was a huge change in win probability.
The most important visual from this season is Wade Boggs on that horse after winning the World Series. I’m surprised he didn’t factor into this video at all, probably deserves his own Rewind.
I don’t remember it being as big of a deal. Maybe cuz I grew up in Connecticut in Yankee territory … Bateman unfortunately looked like a very big geek lol..I think it awoke the inner bully in America n the guy got crucified. Also Bartman hurt his home team this helped
@@hennylo68 yea in fact I’m pretty sure he was like interviewed on the news n crap and treated like a hero lol..I forget the context of bartman I think it was cubs? So a starving fan base n they were winning vs the marlins in the playoffs? And they rallied to win after bartman saved that out for them
I'm pretty sure the spitting incident is why Alomar didn't get voted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility (73.7% in 2010). But it really sucks that the only person in Cooperstown wearing a Toronto Blue Jays cap ended up getting placed on the ineligible list for creeping. (Not Mel Hall bad, but you can't get much worse than that.) We really need a makeup since Roy Halladay's family made the right call with leaving his cap blank though. I hear there's this guy Dave Steib who was pretty good for the Blue Jays in the 1980s.
I remember watching this live. (Edit: Jeffrey Maier's catch) was truly a pivotal moment for both teams. Like Dave Roberts stealing 2nd in the '04 ALCS. This changed the course of the series and probably the course both teams took for the next few years.
As a Yankee fan living near DC then, that blown call bothered me a lot because I wanted to see them win it honestly. Then the Yanks won all three games in Baltimore and I didn't feel quite as uneasy.
That game still ticks me off to this day.. and it set the Yankees up for several years of sickening dominance and the Orioles to spend, get nothing and be absolute garbage in the early 2000s (Born and raised in the Baltimore suburb of Essex)
Mell Hall remains my all time least favorite baseball player. Lifelong Red Sox fan here... Even when the yankees sucked, Hall still talked so much s**t...
Talk radio was full of callers questioning Bernie Williams during the 96 season. Well he answered with many years of clutch performance. I believe he was 26 that year which is often the make or break age. Make he did. I understand being upset by the Mayer incident but I and a friend were seated next to the right field foul pole. Jeter hit the ball very high and we followed it to the top of the wall. We were perhaps 30 feet away. We looked at each other and asked what happened. It seemed that the ball hit the top of the wall, but it was difficult to be certain. The umpire didn’t have a chance of getting it right unfortunately for you who are O’s fans. The stadium full of fans was awesome that night. Roberto was booed mercilessly. Assh___, ASSh___. ASSH___!!! was the chant. I remember Palmeiro’s home run sailing by as I returned from the restroom. Strawberry was loved by the fans, Ripken looked old at short, and Bernie became an all time Yankee great. Game over. One of the best I ever attended. Leaving the stadium we were next to Steinbrenner’s limo as we drove off.
I was on the other side of the stadium, in the tier, and we couldn't tell what happened either. I have never felt the tier shake that way before or since,
Clara Morris (who is absolutely my friend btw even though we’ve never met) uttering the words “insufferable child” as a new mom was not on my bingo card
Hey quick question! I don’t really watch baseball but I always thought that if a fan interferes to “catch” a ball that could have gone into play, it counted as a home run? Is that not the rule? Sorry for the confusion!
As a life long Sox fan,Jeter,Bernie,Paul O'Neil were the players I was always afraid of watching,because they would always come through for their ball club.
As a kid and an Os fans at the time, I was devastated. Still remember the jokes we used to tell. What do the Yankees and Michael Jackson have in common? They both need 12 year old boys to score
I’ll never forget this moment Wasnt even vs Cleveland still has me all the fix was in!! Was 14 when this happened listening to Makaveli album trying to figure out the 2PAC murder
Even though I lived it, I never understood how the RF line ump could have made such an egregiously bad call so emphatically. This mini doc put it together for me. Ain’t no way they were going to see the Orioles win
Blaming a kid for going for a ball rather than refs for missing the call(if that’s actually the rule of the time, idk) is wild to me. That’s a child. We treat them differently for a reason lol
It would have been absolutely all the worse if this incident had happened in Baltimore; the Orioles would have booed Jeter mercilessly, and gotten really mad at Maier.
Usually a 2 way batter shows a little inadvertent awkwardness when swinging on the less favorable side. But to see him swing with a consistent stroke, no matter if batting left or right, is a sight to see.
I still dont know how the ump missed that call, especially since they have 2 extra umps in the outfield on the lines for playoff games. Even at live speed it was clear the kid reached into the field of play.
This is one of the most iconic moments in baseball history, the Yankees coincidentally lead mlb in iconic moments by virtue of the fact that they've been to the most world series. When you make it that far in the playoffs year after year you tend to accumulate iconic moment after iconic moment.

Never forget that the professional sports version of the Evil Empire doesn't arrive wearing jackboots or infamous symbols. They where pinstripes. (Bonus: 'Steinbrenner' is German for 'one who sh^ts in your beer') Uh oh, my socks are showing again. Crimson with the blood of Yankee battles.
Admitting I forgot about this game, mostly. Still remember R. Alomar spitting. Many vouched he was a good guy "otherwise". I think it was an egregious, unforgivable act and don't care how many sick kids he visited in the hospital. A real milestone in the degeneration of baseball, and why I don't follow it anymore.
I love how people (O’s fans), gaslight about this game as if Maier catching the ball was some seminal moment in baseball history that could have launched THEM as the iconic dynasty of the late 90s, while the Yankees reverted to chronic underachievers. That Orioles team had like 5 HOFers and choked at home later in that series when they couldn’t contain Strawberry and Fielder. They would lose the ALCS the following season as well (against Cleveland this time), then completely fell off for the next 15 years. They completely wasted Cal Ripken’s prime, missing the postseason every year from 1984 to 1995, then developed only two more great players in the next 30+ years (Mussina and Machado, both of whom fled in free agency.)They didn’t return to relevance until a brief window in the 2010s, and then finally emerged as a dominant force this decade, although they still haven’t made a WS since 1983. But yeah, a 12-year old kid reaching over the fence for a baseball was the problem.
Orioles tied the series at 1 game apiece, but blew a late lead in Game 3 thanks to a bad deke by 3B Todd Zeile. In games 4 and 5, Darryl Strawberry and the Yankees pen slammed the door

As a kid and an Os fans at the time, I was devastated. Still remember the jokes we used to tell. What do the Yankees and Michael Jackson have in common? They both need 12 year old boys to score
Such convenient timing for this video with a crucial O's and Yankees matchup (Tuesday-Thursday)
"Wow, Giuliani has nice dark hair."
Sounds like the O's supporting Roberto Alomar spitting on an ump and talking about his dead son backfired on them.
I’ll never forget this moment
Wasnt even vs Cleveland still has me all the fix was in!!
Was 14 when this happened listening to Makaveli album trying to figure out the 2PAC murder
Clara!!! Where have you been? Missed you chica, you’re the best!!!
You should do an episode of Rewinder on the '96 Olympics, Women's Gymnastics Team Final.
Man, I’d forgotten all about this incident. Didn’t the kid involved go on to play a NY Yankee in the mini series The Bronx is Burning?
Please do more MLB with Clara, or NBA, she knows her stuff and I can't get enough.
Even though I lived it, I never understood how the RF line ump could have made such an egregiously bad call so emphatically. This mini doc put it together for me. Ain’t no way they were going to see the Orioles win
Blaming a kid for going for a ball rather than refs for missing the call(if that’s actually the rule of the time, idk) is wild to me. That’s a child. We treat them differently for a reason lol
It would have been absolutely all the worse if this incident had happened in Baltimore; the Orioles would have booed Jeter mercilessly, and gotten really mad at Maier.
The only way this video could have been more perfectly timed would be if it had been dropped on the eve of a Yankees-Orioles postseason series.
How many people think that Tarasco would not of caught the ball anyway?
@@Slackish603 the ball likely would’ve glanced off the wall that’s the funniest part
@@GoBlue_yanks42 ya that’s how I always pictured it, the way it would of bounced Jeter could be on third or have an inside the park HR haha.
@@Slackish603 well there’s also every chance Torrasco hits Maiers glove and it’s more obviously interference
He very clearly wouldn't have caught it.
Usually a 2 way batter shows a little inadvertent awkwardness when swinging on the less favorable side. But to see him swing with a consistent stroke, no matter if batting left or right, is a sight to see.
Rewind Garble
I still dont know how the ump missed that call, especially since they have 2 extra umps in the outfield on the lines for playoff games. Even at live speed it was clear the kid reached into the field of play.
It was going to be a double if Maier didn't grab that ball. But the outcome might be different.
as someone that doesn't watch baseball, i'd love to say this is immaculate storytelling.
Did you guys get bought by the YES Network when nobody was looking?
This is one of the most iconic moments in baseball history, the Yankees coincidentally lead mlb in iconic moments by virtue of the fact that they've been to the most world series. When you make it that far in the playoffs year after year you tend to accumulate iconic moment after iconic moment.
Oh cool lady is back.

What a great narration from Clara but what a terrible call from the announcer
Great to hear Clara again!
Shout out to the Wiz, my dad got me a PS1 from there right before they closed.
Never forget that the professional sports version of the Evil Empire doesn't arrive wearing jackboots or infamous symbols.
They where pinstripes.

Uh oh, my socks are showing again. Crimson with the blood of Yankee battles.
I sure liked that Orioles team back then.
Admitting I forgot about this game, mostly. Still remember R. Alomar spitting. Many vouched he was a good guy "otherwise". I think it was an egregious, unforgivable act and don't care how many sick kids he visited in the hospital. A real milestone in the degeneration of baseball, and why I don't follow it anymore.
Not what Orioles fans want to see in the middle of a pennant race, facing the Yankees this week!
I love how people (O’s fans), gaslight about this game as if Maier catching the ball was some seminal moment in baseball history that could have launched THEM as the iconic dynasty of the late 90s, while the Yankees reverted to chronic underachievers. That Orioles team had like 5 HOFers and choked at home later in that series when they couldn’t contain Strawberry and Fielder. They would lose the ALCS the following season as well (against Cleveland this time), then completely fell off for the next 15 years. They completely wasted Cal Ripken’s prime, missing the postseason every year from 1984 to 1995, then developed only two more great players in the next 30+ years (Mussina and Machado, both of whom fled in free agency.)They didn’t return to relevance until a brief window in the 2010s, and then finally emerged as a dominant force this decade, although they still haven’t made a WS since 1983.
But yeah, a 12-year old kid reaching over the fence for a baseball was the problem.
Oh please as if yankees fans wouldn't cry about this too.
Jeffery was in my son’s middle school class, I knew the father but not well.
After watching the whole video
Not even a mention how Upper Deck created a card for him?!?
Was that Mattingly with a beard?
9:00 mark, guest appearance by Nicholas Cage in yellow.
Orioles tied the series at 1 game apiece, but blew a late lead in Game 3 thanks to a bad deke by 3B Todd Zeile. In games 4 and 5, Darryl Strawberry and the Yankees pen slammed the door
