Episode description: October 9, 1996 -- Home-field advantage took on new meaning in Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS as the Yankees earned the upper hand in the series. With the Orioles holding a 4-3 lead going to the bottom of the eighth, fate - in the form of 12-year-old Yankee fan Jeffrey Maier - intervened. Yankee rookie Derek Jeter led off the inning with a fly ball to right field, and Orioles rightfielder Tony Tarasco appeared to have it measured for the catch, but Maier reached out and snatched it away and over the fence. Bernie Williams led off the bottom of the 11th with a homer off Orioles closer Randy Myers to lift the Yankees to the win.
