Yankee Stadium, Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series, and a 12-year-old kid was about to star in an historic moment in baseball history. The young fan, Jeffrey Maier, interfered with outfielder Tony Tarasco’s catch, but the umpire called it a home run for Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees. The Baltimore Orioles eventually lost the game and the series, forever blaming that meddling kid.
