13 Years Ago Today...

...Jeter's Flip Play happened:
This season, I asked one of the great defensive shortstops of this generation, Omar Vizquel, for his thoughts on The Flip.
“That’s the play that I always think (in) my mind because as a shortstop, we never practice a play like that,” Vizquel said. “He just came out of nowhere to make a great play, and the ball just happened to fall in his hand, and he made an unbelievable flip to home plate, and they got the guy out. That ended up being the play of the game. As a shortstop, I know how hard it is to go all the way from there to make that kind of play, so that would be the play that sticks in my mind the most.”
Of course years ago I pointed out Jeter claiming he did in fact practice the play.
