guys u cant hate on the yankees cause there a better team then alot of teams im a huge rangers fan but if u truly love baseball then u should love watching derek jeter play and the rest of the yankees and derek jeter no matter what anybody says is the best shortstop in baseball history and he made that play because hes a smart great player id like any of u to name one shortstop who can do that
You have to watch the whole worthless video for the play you want to see, filmed from a terrible angle, in the last second and a half of the video. eastbayfilms are a bunch of dumbasses.
New York Yankees............ deal with it. I love how very few people give a dam about the A's now, they were contenders but if only one guy slid you wouldn't be complaining about if he was safe or if the A's were better than the Yankees that year(no)
@Christopherwilder47 U know how many times they showed this clip up close on espn and other sports channels man...it was a close play but jeremy was out...
I was at this game, I remember talking to the drummers, they said Steinbrenner said if they played while their pitchers were on the mound, he would have them 86'ed. What A joke! This was A great team that just didn't make it out of the first round. Go A's!
I remember this! I was 21 years old, and I was in my kitchen cleaning up the table from dinner. Everyone else in my house worked nights at the time. I just happen to have the game on when this play occured, and I was like "wow".
This was a great baseball game and heart breaking to watch. IMO this was the best A's team of the 2000's. Jeter made a hell of a play and Jeremy decided not to slide.
@badfishdive totally man... I remember 2000 ALDS, game 1, I was only 10 years old and I had just gotten my first TV in my own room. the first thing I ever watched on the TV was that game. we then went up 2-0 in the series, only to lose 3-2.
so again in 2001, ALDS, we go up 2-0 and we lose 3-2; this play encapsulated the loss...
today (on my 21st birthday actually) I sit at my desk, the once-new TV still hangs on the wall behind me, and seeing this play still pains me. :((((
He made the greatest play in the history of baseball, probably because of something they went over and over in practice to the point where it seemed pointless. It goes to show you what can happen when you take things seriously in baseball
Even as a Red Sox fan, this was an incredible play in my opinion. I still have no idea how Jeter had the presence of mind to get to that ball. Whether Giambi was out or not (and it is still unclear IMO), that play was amazing.
I was there. Paid $100 for the tickets in the parking lot just to see the A's win to go to the series. A historic moment indeed. Zito pitched a 2 hitter that game and still lost. Thus began my hatred for the Yankees.

whats wrong with the guy who made this video? look at the discription: Derek Jeter throws out Jeremy Giambi at home plate. notice he did'nt spell "jason" right he spells it as jeremy. wat a douch
@eastbayfilms Wow, fuck you or whoever filmed this. You put a whole bunch of bullshit in here and then the one play I want to watch basically gets cut off at the end. Fuck you faggot. Dislike.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
first of all he was safe. second the throw was on line so jeter didn't need to have any part of that play and if he wouldn't have touched the ball at all then he would have been out for sure. but hey any other player that would have done that there would have been a big fuss about how he didn't need to be in the play but hey thats the yankees for you. yankees suck go sox
i didn't need to see anything on espn i was there sitting in the 6th row and i saw it just fine there was nothing wrong with the trow jeter didn't need to come over from short and then there would have been no argument if he was safe or out. so now who is the idiot.
hahaha god was he so safe..its not even close..posadas glove is behind the plate so therefore he steps on homeplate and runs into the glove..HE'S SAFE you yankee idiots!
Guess what, it doesn't matter what you think, only matter what the umpire thinks, and he said he was out. Yogi Berra thought that he tagged Jackie Robinson at home plate too, but the record books beg to differ. Get over it.
how can he tag the back of his leg when his glove is on the far side of the plate...he steps on the bag then he tags him..hes safe and any fan other then the yankees will say the same thing
First off, I am more of an Oakland fan than I am of a Yankee fan, so try again.
Second off, when he pulls his arm around in a semi circle towards J.G's back which is when he tags him in the calf. 90% of the reason he is out is because he didn't slide. Go to "watch?v=i-gunrn3nj0" and look at 3:07. In that video is where you can clearly (sort of.) Otherwise go on mlb(.)com and find the video on there.
Watch another video of this play on truveodotcom by searching for 'jeter's amazing flip'.
Watch it very closely on slow mo, and you'll see that Posada's glove grazed Giambi's leg just as Giambi's foot is touching home plate. Posada had to sweep across with his glove to make the tag, and that allowed Giambi's leg to hit the plate in the nick of time.
The ump got the call wrong, but it's almost impossible to make an accurate judgement in real time.
Hey, check out usabaseballtube. It's a video streaming site strictly for baseball players to Showcase Their Skills. Upload anything related to baseball, favorite players, instructional, etc.
Hey morskitty if Jeter dint cut that ball off it wouldn't be in time. And I have a flip book of 2 great Jeter moments and this was one of them. I looked at the picture that showed Posada tagging Giambi and his foot was inches off the plate so the ump made the right call!!!!!!!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This play is always overrated. Actually, if you were to see the replay from the right field foul pole, the throw to the catcher was perfect. The bounce was heading toward the mitt of the catcher until jeeter intercepted. And if you ever see the low-first view of the "tag," it shows that Giambi was safe. In essence, Jeter impeded the play. Only because the "blue" blew the call is why Jeter is still touted as a "hero."
Hernandez is stunned as he thinks about the play, over and over again. "If Jeter doesn't catch the ball, the ball hits me -- that's how far off the mark it was," Hernandez says.
That by the way, is from Oakland's hitter in the on-deck circle. But I'm sure he was probably all part of the conspiracy to make Jeter look better than he is,
if you have any brains you would have noticed that jeter cought the ball in foul territory, therefore the throw was off line. also, when the ball would have hit the grass it would have slowed down, and the ball wouldnt have gotten there in time.
Are you an A's or a Red Sox fan? I feel so sorry for you either way. Sorry that the Yankees are better than any team you root for. Before you scream at me, please remember that the Yankees are tied for the best record in baseball.
..no...just shut up...the throw was up the first base line...and he tagged him on the shin...and Derek is a hero because of his fantastic play and leadership qualities.
bizzles you are completely wrong...he was out, the tag hit his leg. the best play i have ever seen. won that game 1-0. if that play would not have happened, who knows what the score could of been. people forget the yankees were down 2 games to none as well
well i have seen two different slow-mo replays where u can see posada got his ankle. speaking of the yankees and stupid calls, in bottom of the ninth just now yanks coulda won wit men on 1st and 2nd, throw to first wasnt on time but ump blew it. which is why now theyre gonna lose in te tenth:)
Listen up haters -- No baserunner should ever have to slide on this play because no defense player should pull off something so amazing. Yankees were down 2 games to 0 in a best of 5 series and won this game 1-0. One run made all the difference and so did this play. The ball was off line and moving slow, if Jeter doesn't grab it and toss, Yankees may lose that game. They went on to play in one of the greatest WS of all time (Bush's pitch, 2 walk-off HRs, Schilling & Johnson, 7 game series).
Wow you guys are unbelievable! The call could have went either way as it happened but if Giambi executes one of the basic fundamentals of base running, the SLIDE, he clearly would have been safe. If you watch the replay even the A's player is motioning for him to slide. That is something that they teach you in little league for Christ's sake! Anything close you SLIDE, especially in major league post season baseball! I'm not a hater but I call it as I see it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You're absolutely right ilikepieinmyshoe. That was one of the weakest plays in baseball. Fuck Baseball Weekly, they clearly have no idea of what's a great play. Please give us more of your insight oh wise baseball guru.
Man that is the shit. For the rest of your life you can say "I saw the greatest play a SS has or will ever make in person". Consider that it was in the Playoffs, and that makes it even better.
Obviously, you don't remember the game. The ball would not have made it to Posada in time had Jeter not made the play.
All the baseball experts see it that way, and you are the only person I have ever heard of who doesn't.
Now, if you want to say a Giambi slide would've made it irrelevant, I'll listen, but saying Jeter is a "fucking moron" for making that play is obviously the statement of a hater.
You're an absolute idiot for that statement.. I remember that game vividly and the throw wasn't even CLOSE to being inline with the pitcher.. probably one of the most phenomenal plays in baseball history.. you're a schmuck.
Absolutely true sooner! The right field foul pole camera shot confirmed the fact the throw was accurate and only because of the "Amazing" Jeter did the play become close.
wrong venture. if giambi slid it would have been close and possibly safe, but jeter's uncanny sense of awaremess, timing and athleticism on the ballfield would still have been remarkable. can't you jeter haters be plain old fans of the game for once. jees.
This was more of a base-running blunder than a great play by Jeter. If Giambi slid(if you watch the end of the replay, you can see that the A's player is telling him to do) Jeter would have tagged air. Most players of today do not know how to slide properly.
either way its a great play,regardless of a slide,to have the instinct like that to run across the infield while that ball was in the air is jus great itself,it wouldnt have gotten the recognition that it does if giambi slid but that shouldn't discredit jeter for what he did,and why would jeter be tagging air?is he grabbing the ball and running to home to get giambi?no,that would be posada at home plate making the tag
This is not the time for us to give up. We can absolutely win another World Series this year. The media wolfpack that engaging in A-Rod's character assassination would disagree, but with the starting pitching we have now, it's entirely conceivable.
What they need to do is just starting working together, because with the talent we've assembled, and the pitching we now have, everybody else in the majors is trying to come up with off-the-field reasons to discount us.
There is a video of that play on Truveodotcom. I'm not representing that site so don't mark me spam; it's just an amazing play and people should watch it. Type in is "Jeter's amazing flip."
okay in baseball isn't the rule whoever scores the most is the best? okay and the rule is not whoever scored the latest is the best? Therefore the suck ass red sox have i think have 19 more world series to win (26-7) before any of your bitch ass fans can start talkin' shit. Also it won't take us 86 years to win another championship! So suck on that you dip shit sox fans. All who agree thumbs up (that means you Yankees fans)
Everyone knowws the Yanks are fucked now. The Sox now own them EVERY YEAR. Also, I think it's clear that the Yankees have the most fair-weather fans in the world of sports (why would they turn against Joe Torre, whom they owe everything to). Sox fans aren't fair-weather at all (obviously). You guys like being in third place??
I forgot to say that IS an amazing play, but why would Giambi not slide? I think Jeter is way mored valuable than A-Fraud (who used roids like everyone else and who can't do ANYTHING in the clutch).
that is base baseball right there. i was never a yankee fan but that kind of heads up thinking is why jeter is the best all around player in baseball. fuck bonds and his *homeruns. people will talk about what kind of gamer jeter was for a long time. kinda like pete rose. (except the betting). But he's the kind of player kids should look up to.
Well I wouldn't say the best in the world, but this was one of the most incredible plays I've ever seen, and I'm a major fan of just about every sport. The amazing thing is that Jeter was quoted as saying "That's where I'm supposed to be," and in that specific situation, with 2 outs, a 1 run game, and only one runner on at the time that IS where the shortstop is supposed to be. Incredible.

I really wish the As had won a title. It would have done well to get rid of some of the shitty, shitty journalism we see today. Of course, had they won, we wouldn't have Fire Joe Morgan, so who knows.
These A's teams were fantastic, this coming from a Yankee fan. 2002 was probably their best shot. They had way better starting pitching than the Angels, A's probably win a seven game series. Their ALDS loss to the Twins is still baffling, though Ken Macha's ridiculous decision to start Cy Young winner Barry Zito once in the series certainly contributed. Real shame the Tejada/Chavez group never got a ring. That door has closed for good.

Yankees were down 2 games to 0 in a best of 5 series and won this game 1-0. One run made all the difference and so did this play. The ball was off line and moving slow, if Jeter doesn't grab it and toss, Yankees may lose that game. They went on to play in one of the greatest WS of all time (Bush's pitch, 2 walk-off HRs, Schilling & Johnson, 7 game series).

Wow you guys are unbelievable! The call could have went either way as it happened but if Giambi executes one of the basic fundamentals of base running, the SLIDE, he clearly would have been safe. If you watch the replay even the A's player is motioning for him to slide. That is something that they teach you in little league for Christ's sake! Anything close you SLIDE, especially in major league post season baseball! I'm not a hater but I call it as I see it.

You were at the "Flip" game!!!!!
Man that is the shit. For the rest of your life you can say "I saw the greatest play a SS has or will ever make in person". Consider that it was in the Playoffs, and that makes it even better.
alexwilsonNC 2 years ago
are you serious? He intercepted a throw that was completely on target with the catcher...and then flipped it home, and is considered a hero for it.
In truth, he nearly cost them a run...and is a fucking moron for what he did.
soonerfaninokc 2 years ago
Obviously, you don't remember the game. The ball would not have made it to Posada in time had Jeter not made the play.
All the baseball experts see it that way, and you are the only person I have ever heard of who doesn't.
Now, if you want to say a Giambi slide would've made it irrelevant, I'll listen, but saying Jeter is a "fucking moron" for making that play is obviously the statement of a hater.

great play buy calling it the best play a SS has ever made is absolutely ridiculous.

You're an absolute idiot for that statement.. I remember that game vividly and the throw wasn't even CLOSE to being inline with the pitcher.. probably one of the most phenomenal plays in baseball history.. you're a schmuck.
richp860 2 years ago 3
Absolutely true sooner! The right field foul pole camera shot confirmed the fact the throw was accurate and only because of the "Amazing" Jeter did the play become close.
morskitty 2 years ago
wrong venture. if giambi slid it would have been close and possibly safe, but jeter's uncanny sense of awaremess, timing and athleticism on the ballfield would still have been remarkable. can't you jeter haters be plain old fans of the game for once. jees.

wmc3504 2 years ago
This was more of a base-running blunder than a great play by Jeter. If Giambi slid(if you watch the end of the replay, you can see that the A's player is telling him to do) Jeter would have tagged air. Most players of today do not know how to slide properly.
venture692000 2 years ago
You're a retard. So this great moment in baseball is remembered for a base running blunder? Get real!
seka1986 2 years ago
either way its a great play,regardless of a slide,to have the instinct like that to run across the infield while that ball was in the air is jus great itself,it wouldnt have gotten the recognition that it does if giambi slid but that shouldn't discredit jeter for what he did,and why would jeter be tagging air?is he grabbing the ball and running to home to get giambi?no,that would be posada at home plate making the tag

This is not the time for us to give up. We can absolutely win another World Series this year. The media wolfpack that engaging in A-Rod's character assassination would disagree, but with the starting pitching we have now, it's entirely conceivable.
What they need to do is just starting working together, because with the talent we've assembled, and the pitching we now have, everybody else in the majors is trying to come up with off-the-field reasons to discount us.
We're for real this year.

okay in baseball isn't the rule whoever scores the most is the best? okay and the rule is not whoever scored the latest is the best? Therefore the suck ass red sox have i think have 19 more world series to win (26-7) before any of your bitch ass fans can start talkin' shit. Also it won't take us 86 years to win another championship! So suck on that you dip shit sox fans. All who agree thumbs up (that means you Yankees fans)

Everyone knowws the Yanks are fucked now. The Sox now own them EVERY YEAR. Also, I think it's clear that the Yankees have the most fair-weather fans in the world of sports (why would they turn against Joe Torre, whom they owe everything to). Sox fans aren't fair-weather at all (obviously). You guys like being in third place??

I forgot to say that IS an amazing play, but why would Giambi not slide? I think Jeter is way mored valuable than A-Fraud (who used roids like everyone else and who can't do ANYTHING in the clutch).

that is base baseball right there. i was never a yankee fan but that kind of heads up thinking is why jeter is the best all around player in baseball. fuck bonds and his *homeruns. people will talk about what kind of gamer jeter was for a long time. kinda like pete rose. (except the betting). But he's the kind of player kids should look up to.
chris504 3 years ago 3
Well I wouldn't say the best in the world, but this was one of the most incredible plays I've ever seen, and I'm a major fan of just about every sport. The amazing thing is that Jeter was quoted as saying "That's where I'm supposed to be," and in that specific situation, with 2 outs, a 1 run game, and only one runner on at the time that IS where the shortstop is supposed to be. Incredible.

These A's teams were fantastic, this coming from a Yankee fan. 2002 was probably their best shot. They had way better starting pitching than the Angels, A's probably win a seven game series. Their ALDS loss to the Twins is still baffling, though Ken Macha's ridiculous decision to start Cy Young winner Barry Zito once in the series certainly contributed. Real shame the Tejada/Chavez group never got a ring. That door has closed for good.
This was a classic game. Moose-Zito.
