the most painful moment for me as a baseball fan in my entire life...and possible the thing that helped drive me away from the sport and into the arms of football. The Braves were defending champs and had rallied past the Cardinals in the NLCS and were probably the most talented team of the entire Braves NL East Dynasty. The Braves had won the first two games of the series at Yankee Stadium, and narrowly lost Game 3 in Atlanta. Game 4 appeared to be going to the Braves; the score was 6-0 after the 5th inning. A Braves victory would have given Atlanta a commanding 3-1 series advantage. The Yankees scored three times in the 6th inning, and in the 8th inning, Leyritz hit a 3-run home run to left field to tie the game and cap the Yankee comeback. The home run was hit against Atlanta closer Mark Wohlers and the Yankees eventually won the game 8-6 in 10 innings. I was 17 years old at the time and still a huge baseball fan....but i was never the same after that game and series.
