Runner on first. Two outs.

{\an1}Announcer:
And now comes Terrence Long.
165
00:08:18,875 --> 00:08:21,110
{\an1}I mean, we’re on the verge
of being eliminated.
166
00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:23,510
{\an1}If they tie the game, you never
know what’s gonna happen.
167
00:08:23,513 --> 00:08:26,449
{\an1}Announcer: Ready. Here’s the set
and the pitch to Long.
168
00:08:26,449 --> 00:08:29,379
{\an1}That is fair
down the right-field line.
169
00:08:29,385 --> 00:08:31,654
{\an1}Giambi on his way to third.
170
00:08:31,654 --> 00:08:33,722
{\an1}And they’re gonna wave him
around!
171
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:36,058
{\an1}The throw misses
the cut-off man.
172
00:08:36,058 --> 00:08:38,458
{\an1}Shoveled to the plate!
Out at the plate!
173
00:08:38,461 --> 00:08:41,661
{\an1}Announcer #2: Oh, he is out!
What a play by Derek Jeter!
174
00:08:41,664 --> 00:08:45,301
{\an1}Announcer: Derek Jeter with one
of the most unbelievable plays
175
00:08:45,301 --> 00:08:47,570
{\an1}you will ever see
by a shortstop!
176
00:08:47,570 --> 00:08:50,800
{\an1}I don’t think anyone knew
what happened at first.
177
00:08:50,807 --> 00:08:52,708
{\an1}You know,
I think people were in shock,
178
00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:54,138
{\an1}especially on their side.
179
00:08:54,143 --> 00:08:55,678
{\an1}Just look at their dugout.
180
00:08:55,678 --> 00:08:57,478
{\an1}Curry:
Here comes Derek Jeter
181
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,549
{\an1}swooping over from shortstop.
182
00:08:59,549 --> 00:09:02,249
{\an1}I had never seen
a baseball play like that.
183
00:09:02,251 --> 00:09:04,720
{\an1}Announcer: That’s about as good
a play as you’ll ever see!
184
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,720
{\an1}As a shortstop, you know,
I got to read the play.
185
00:09:08,724 --> 00:09:10,259
{\an1}In this particular situation,
186
00:09:10,259 --> 00:09:13,089
{\an1}Spence overthrew
both cut-off men.
187
00:09:13,096 --> 00:09:14,896
{\an1}So I’m the third cut-off man.
188
00:09:14,897 --> 00:09:16,699
{\an1}I improvised the flip play,
189
00:09:16,699 --> 00:09:18,899
{\an1}but I was in the area
that I was supposed to be.
190
00:09:18,901 --> 00:09:20,770
{\an1}The only thing
going through my head is,
191
00:09:20,770 --> 00:09:23,439
{\an1}"I got to get it to Jorge
as soon as possible."
192
00:09:23,439 --> 00:09:26,239
{\an1}If you see me,
I’m going out to get the ball
193
00:09:26,242 --> 00:09:27,910
{\an1}to throw the ball
to second base.
194
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:30,340
{\an1}Then out of the corner
of my eye, I see him running,
195
00:09:30,346 --> 00:09:32,682
{\an1}and then I go back to the plate
and I just like --
196
00:09:32,682 --> 00:09:34,851
{\an1}I mean, I just went like that.
197
00:09:34,851 --> 00:09:38,020
{\an1}Thank God he doesn’t slide
because if he slides he’s safe.
198
00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:40,720
{\an1}Williams: It was all about
Derek’s presence of mind,
199
00:09:40,723 --> 00:09:44,423
{\an1}what I call this elastic,
improvising kind of attitude.
200
00:09:44,427 --> 00:09:47,230
{\an1}I think it’s more of
an artist kind of quality.
201
00:09:47,230 --> 00:09:48,930
{\an1}That was a thing of beauty.
202
00:09:48,931 --> 00:09:51,461
{\an1}Murti: Everybody likes
to call that play
203
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:54,737
{\an1}a play of great instinct
by Derek Jeter.
204
00:09:54,737 --> 00:09:56,539
{\an1}It’s not a play of instinct.
205
00:09:56,539 --> 00:09:58,769
{\an1}It’s a play of practice,
206
00:09:58,774 --> 00:10:01,744
{\an1}preparation,
and understanding the moment.
207
00:10:01,744 --> 00:10:04,044
{\an1}Announcer: Boy, does Jeter
always seem to just step up
208
00:10:04,046 --> 00:10:06,149
{\an1}when his team needs it most.
209
00:10:06,149 --> 00:10:08,909
{\an1}I think it probably
did change the series.

Soriano’s got it,

to play another day.

and that game...

228
00:10:55,865 --> 00:10:58,465
{\an1}The Yankees had a tough road
to get back to the World Series.
229
00:10:58,467 --> 00:11:02,538
{\an1}They were facing a Seattle team
that won 116 games.
230
00:11:02,538 --> 00:11:04,598
{\an1}The Yankees took care of them
pretty quickly.

{\an1}I know the "NY" on your cap
did a great deal of it
237

September 11th.

{\an1}for their fourth consecutive

254
00:12:05,401 --> 00:12:08,201

{\an1}There were snipers
on the rooftop.

{\an1}The weight you feel
on your shoulders

00:12:27,223 --> 00:12:29,623
{\an1}as a player in New York.
264
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:31,694
{\an1}I remember
President Bush coming in
265
00:12:31,694 --> 00:12:34,130
{\an1}and wanting to find
a place to throw.
266
00:12:34,130 --> 00:12:36,460
{\an1}And I said, "Mr. President,
if you go out the door,
267

{\an1}turn to the right,
you’re gonna go about 100 yards.

00:12:40,436 --> 00:12:43,072
{\an1}He wanted to make
small talk with D. J.,
270
00:12:43,072 --> 00:12:46,742
{\an1}and he’s like,
"Derek, any pointers?"
271
00:12:46,742 --> 00:12:48,042
{\an1}And I think D. J. told him,
272
00:12:48,044 --> 00:12:49,412
{\an1}"This is New York
and Yankee Stadium.

{\an1}you’ve seen it all,
the ghosts show up.

00:14:36,852 --> 00:14:38,482
{\an1}and he used to always
hold my bat.
318
00:14:38,487 --> 00:14:40,489
{\an1}And as I was coming up
to go on deck,
319
00:14:40,489 --> 00:14:41,989
{\an1}I told him, I said, "Listen.
320
00:14:41,991 --> 00:14:43,721
{\an1}In a few minutes,
you’re gonna have no contract.
321
00:14:43,726 --> 00:14:45,426
{\an1}This is the last time
I have to listen to you.
322
00:14:45,428 --> 00:14:47,229
{\an1}So you better put a hit
in there."
323
00:14:47,229 --> 00:14:50,999
{\an1}Buck: Byung-hyun Kim trying
to send this game to the 11th.
324
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,360
{\an1}Jeter:
Kim threw sidearm.
325
00:14:52,368 --> 00:14:54,403
{\an1}I hate sidearm pitchers
my entire career.
326
00:14:54,403 --> 00:14:57,603
{\an1}Didn’t see ’em, couldn’t
pick ’em up, didn’t like ’em.
327
00:14:57,606 --> 00:15:00,009
{\an1}Buck: Down the right-field line,
slicing foul.
328
00:15:00,009 --> 00:15:01,269
{\an1}Jeter:
Fouling some pitches off,
329
00:15:01,277 --> 00:15:02,711
{\an1}and as the at bat
went on and on,
330
00:15:02,711 --> 00:15:04,780
{\an1}I started to see him
a little bit better.
331
00:15:04,780 --> 00:15:07,010
{\an1}Announcer:
"Mr. November." [ Laughs ]

in attendance.

{\an1}Swung on and drilled
to right field.
336
00:15:14,757 --> 00:15:17,793
{\an1}Going back, Sanders.
On the track, at the wall.
337
00:15:17,793 --> 00:15:21,193
{\an1}See ya! See ya! See ya!
338
00:15:21,197 --> 00:15:23,799
{\an1}A home run by Derek Jeter!
339
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:26,769
{\an1}Ohh! Oh, what a ballgame!
340
00:15:26,769 --> 00:15:31,269
{\an1}A game-winning walkoff home run
by Derek Jeter!
341
00:15:31,273 --> 00:15:34,873
{\an1}He is Mr. November!
342
00:15:34,877 --> 00:15:38,280
{\an1}Jeter: Like, every dream
you have as a child
343
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,748
{\an1}is in the backyard
344
00:15:39,748 --> 00:15:43,318
{\an1}you’re hitting a home run
in the World Series.
345
00:15:43,319 --> 00:15:45,219
{\an1}It happened so quick.
346
00:15:45,221 --> 00:15:47,890
{\an1}Buck:
And on a cool November morning,
347
00:15:47,890 --> 00:15:51,820
{\an1}Derek Jeter ends
a thrilling night of baseball.
348
00:15:51,827 --> 00:15:53,462
{\an1}Murti:
And this crowd was going crazy.
349
00:15:53,462 --> 00:15:55,592
{\an1}They’re looking
for an emotional release.
350
00:15:55,598 --> 00:15:56,999
{\an1}It’s insanity.
351
00:15:56,999 --> 00:15:59,259
{\an1}The Yankees are back. We’re 2-2.
352
00:15:59,268 --> 00:16:02,104

is back in their favor.

Yankee Stadium. Game 5.
354

{\an1}The swing game
in the World Series.
355
00:16:06,008 --> 00:16:08,338
{\an1}And, boy, it’s gonna be tough
to have an encore
356
00:16:08,344 --> 00:16:11,444
{\an1}because last night
was about as good as it gets.
357
00:16:11,447 --> 00:16:13,182
{\an1}2-0. Bottom of the ninth inning.
358
00:16:13,182 --> 00:16:14,782

{\an1}After throwing 72 pitches
yesterday,
360
00:16:16,952 --> 00:16:19,688
{\an1}Byung-hyun Kim
trying to nail this down.
361
00:16:19,688 --> 00:16:22,788
{\an1}Buck: Now it’s up to Brosius
for New York.
362
00:16:22,791 --> 00:16:25,021
{\an1}Brosius hits one into left.
363
00:16:25,027 --> 00:16:27,329
{\an1}Back. At the wall.
364
00:16:27,329 --> 00:16:29,189

369
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,200
{\an1}Jeter:
"Can you believe this...?"
370
00:16:39,208 --> 00:16:41,644
{\an1}That’s what’s going through
my mind. Seriously.
371
00:16:41,644 --> 00:16:43,312
{\an1}"It just happened again?"
372
00:16:43,312 --> 00:16:46,148

from the absolute dead.
373
00:16:46,148 --> 00:16:48,478

tied at 2.
374

Alfonso Soriano.

{\an1}Into right field. Base hit.
378
00:17:03,032 --> 00:17:04,832
{\an1}Here comes Knoblauch.
379
00:17:04,833 --> 00:17:06,802
{\an1}The throw by Sanders.
380
00:17:06,802 --> 00:17:09,170
{\an1}Play at the plate. Yankees win.
381
00:17:09,170 --> 00:17:11,571

three games to two.

Another miracle in the Bronx!

{\an1}Williams: Those two games
gave the city what it needed,
385
00:17:20,748 --> 00:17:22,918
{\an1}that bolt of energy.
386
00:17:22,918 --> 00:17:24,517
{\an1}To me, I felt at the time
387
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,889
{\an1}that it was just a sign
of great things to come.
388

{\an1}McCarver: These last two games
defy description.

{\an1}Jeter: Then you just know.
390

{\an1}We’re like, "We’re destined
to win this World Series."
391
00:17:33,829 --> 00:17:36,529
{\an1}I mean, I don’t care
what anyone says.
392
00:17:36,532 --> 00:17:38,532

tomorrow night.

Bottom of the ninth inning.

the Diamondbacks, down 2-1.
414

just the epitome of, you know,
415
00:18:43,232 --> 00:18:45,832
{\an1}what we call
championship baseball,
416
00:18:45,834 --> 00:18:49,004
{\an1}you know, putting ourselves in
a position that we could strike
417
00:18:49,004 --> 00:18:52,474
{\an1}and, if the opportunity comes,
take advantage of it
418
00:18:52,474 --> 00:18:55,174
{\an1}and have Mariano
shutting things down for us.
419
00:18:55,177 --> 00:18:58,981

you know that you were winning?"

that we’re winning this."

the post-game press conference?

A good start for Arizona.
426

{\an1}The bunt by Miller.
427
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,869
{\an1}Throw to second.
Into center field.
428
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:25,039

for Derek Jeter.
429
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,640
{\an1}Buck: The bunt to Rivera.
Throws to third. Out.
430
00:19:27,643 --> 00:19:29,812
{\an1}Rivera: I was waiting
the ball to cross the field
431
00:19:29,812 --> 00:19:31,442
{\an1}because if he would’ve thrown
the ball to first base,
432

about halfway down the line.

but I don’t --
436

what I was feeling before.

first postseason blown save

I lost the World Series.
456

{\an1}And, uh, it felt horrible.
457
00:20:37,246 --> 00:20:40,883
{\an1}Guys, if I have to express
458
00:20:40,883 --> 00:20:45,521
{\an1}or define the feeling
about that, it was horrible.
459
00:20:45,521 --> 00:20:48,451
{\an1}Williams:
Out of everything we have done,
460
00:20:48,457 --> 00:20:50,125
{\an1}knowing that we were
playing for something
461
00:20:50,125 --> 00:20:53,595
{\an1}that transcended us, the team.
462
00:20:53,595 --> 00:20:55,230
{\an1}It was not about the Yankees.
463
00:20:55,230 --> 00:20:57,199
{\an1}It was about
something bigger than us.
464
00:20:57,199 --> 00:21:00,199
{\an1}And I really wanted this so bad.
465
00:21:00,202 --> 00:21:02,371
{\an1}Jeter: It was
the most devastating thing
466

{\an1}that I’ve been a part of
at the Major League level.
467
00:21:04,973 --> 00:21:10,412
{\an1}I felt like they’re on the field
celebrating what is ours.
468
00:21:10,412 --> 00:21:12,542
{\an1}And...
469
00:21:12,548 --> 00:21:14,058
{\an1}Devastating.
470
00:21:16,485 --> 00:21:18,225
{\an1}Pissed off.
471
00:21:20,122 --> 00:21:23,892
{\an1}Yeah, man, it was -- it was --
That was rough.
472

{\an1}Olney:
Every person that I talked to

in the trainer’s room
474
00:21:27,963 --> 00:21:29,932
{\an1}said that he was fuming.
475
00:21:29,932 --> 00:21:32,901
{\an1}He was so angry that they lost.
476
00:21:32,901 --> 00:21:36,271
{\an1}The other guys
were seemingly at peace,
477
00:21:36,271 --> 00:21:39,808
{\an1}looking at the big picture,
"We’ve had a great run here,"
478
00:21:39,808 --> 00:21:42,938
{\an1}where Derek, absolutely shocked
479
00:21:42,945 --> 00:21:45,113
{\an1}that in the end they didn’t
figure out a way to win,
480
00:21:45,113 --> 00:21:47,282
{\an1}because he always wins.
481
00:21:47,282 --> 00:21:48,750
{\an1}Bird: He took it rough.
482
00:21:48,750 --> 00:21:50,919
{\an1}That was a tough off-season
down in Tampa.
483
00:21:50,919 --> 00:21:54,789
{\an1}Didn’t even utter baseball.
He was moody. Very moody.
484
00:21:54,790 --> 00:21:56,920
{\an1}Yeah, I guess "moody"
is a good way to put it.
485
00:21:56,925 --> 00:21:59,995
{\an1}Didn’t sleep, shaking your head.
486
00:21:59,995 --> 00:22:04,199
{\an1}Didn’t want to talk to anybody.
You’re just disappointed.
487
00:22:04,199 --> 00:22:08,029
{\an1}And that mind-set is why
488
00:22:08,036 --> 00:22:12,206
{\an1}that group was able to win
all those championships,
489
00:22:12,207 --> 00:22:16,177
{\an1}because I’m guessing a lot of
teams would probably have said,
490
00:22:16,178 --> 00:22:18,213
{\an1}"Hey, well, we won three.
491
00:22:18,213 --> 00:22:20,382
{\an1}That’s okay.
You can’t win ’em all."
492
00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:24,452
{\an1}No. No, no, no, no, no.
493
00:22:24,453 --> 00:22:26,153
{\an1}Verducci:
The greatest thing you can have
494
00:22:26,154 --> 00:22:29,691
{\an1}is never being satisfied
with success.
495
00:22:29,691 --> 00:22:32,861
{\an1}As much as you win,
it’s never enough.
496
00:22:32,861 --> 00:22:36,531
{\an1}I think Michael, Tiger, Derek,
497
00:22:36,531 --> 00:22:39,561
{\an1}they were wired that way.
498
00:22:39,568 --> 00:22:42,004
{\an1}Jordan: I appreciate him
as a competitor.
499
00:22:42,004 --> 00:22:44,304
{\an1}He wanted no faults in his game.
500
00:22:44,306 --> 00:22:47,309
{\an1}To me, that’s a champion,
willing to look at himself
501
00:22:47,309 --> 00:22:48,969
{\an1}and say, "How can I be better?
502
00:22:48,977 --> 00:22:50,812
{\an1}How can I inspire
other players?"
503
00:22:50,812 --> 00:22:53,882
{\an1}And Derek
always had that mentality.
504
00:22:53,882 --> 00:22:55,882
{\an1}It’s that love
for the game of baseball.
505
00:22:55,884 --> 00:22:58,884
{\an1}That dude is a winner,
and he’s always been a winner.
506
00:23:03,325 --> 00:23:05,425
{\an1}Olney:
After the 2001 season,
507
00:23:05,427 --> 00:23:08,397
{\an1}Paul O’Neill retires,
Scott Brosius retires,
508
00:23:08,397 --> 00:23:10,899
{\an1}Tino Martinez
goes off to another team,
509
00:23:10,899 --> 00:23:13,769
{\an1}and Derek has now become
one of the veterans on the team.
510
00:23:13,769 --> 00:23:17,769
{\an1}And I think at that point
it’s really his team.
511
00:23:17,773 --> 00:23:20,909
{\an1}Their loss
in the 2001 World Series
512
00:23:20,909 --> 00:23:22,939
{\an1}infuriates George Steinbrenner,
513
00:23:22,945 --> 00:23:24,913
{\an1}and he tells Brian Cashman,
514
00:23:24,913 --> 00:23:27,249
{\an1}"Look. We did it your way.
That didn’t work."
515
00:23:27,249 --> 00:23:29,949
{\an1}And so he’s gonna do it
his way going forward,
516
00:23:29,952 --> 00:23:34,752
{\an1}which is the import
of all of these outside players.
517
00:23:34,756 --> 00:23:37,793
{\an1}I think the clubhouse culture
changed dramatically.
518
00:23:37,793 --> 00:23:42,130
{\an1}It felt like a lot of
Island of Misfit Toys situation,
519
00:23:42,130 --> 00:23:44,800
{\an1}as opposed to a team
fitting together.
520
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,768
{\an1}Announcer:
1-0 to Nick Johnson.
521
00:23:46,768 --> 00:23:48,868
{\an1}Popped up.
522
00:23:48,870 --> 00:23:50,570
{\an1}The Anaheim Angels
523
00:23:50,572 --> 00:23:55,210
{\an1}knock off the four-time reigning
American League champions.
524
00:23:55,210 --> 00:23:57,079
{\an1}Olney: One of the hallmarks
of George Steinbrenner
525
00:23:57,079 --> 00:24:00,409
{\an1}as owner of the Yankees
was he was not afraid
526
00:24:00,415 --> 00:24:04,085
{\an1}to call out star players
on the team in the media.
527
00:24:04,086 --> 00:24:07,289
{\an1}And that was at a time
when stories would pop up
528
00:24:07,289 --> 00:24:09,249
{\an1}about Derek is seen
with this actress
529
00:24:09,257 --> 00:24:12,127
{\an1}or he’s seen with this person
or he’s seen with that person.
530
00:24:12,127 --> 00:24:13,996
{\an1}I think George was upset.
531
00:24:13,996 --> 00:24:17,299
{\an1}He said, "You are not locked in
the way that you need to be."
532
00:24:17,299 --> 00:24:20,629
{\an1}George wanted his pound of flesh
a little bit.
533
00:24:20,635 --> 00:24:22,804
{\an1}Jeter: You know, I used to meet
with The Boss every off-season
534
00:24:22,804 --> 00:24:24,304
{\an1}because we were both in Tampa.
535
00:24:24,306 --> 00:24:25,941
{\an1}So I go see him,
and he tells me, he said,
536
00:24:25,941 --> 00:24:27,671
{\an1}"Listen, I don’t want
to hear about you being
537
00:24:27,676 --> 00:24:30,312
{\an1}at a birthday party
till 3:00 in the morning."
538
00:24:30,312 --> 00:24:33,142
{\an1}And I was like, "Alright."
Not really that big of a deal.
539
00:24:33,148 --> 00:24:35,183
{\an1}And one of the members
of the media asked me,
540
00:24:35,183 --> 00:24:37,853
{\an1}"Are you doing anything
differently this off-season?"
541
00:24:37,853 --> 00:24:39,683
{\an1}I said, "No, I’m doing
everything the same.
542
00:24:39,688 --> 00:24:42,657
{\an1}I’m here early, I’m working out,
getting ready for next season."
543
00:24:42,657 --> 00:24:46,161
{\an1}The next day,
the headline was "Party On!"
544
00:24:46,161 --> 00:24:50,098
{\an1}I "refused to change my partying
ways to please The Boss."
545
00:24:50,098 --> 00:24:51,798
{\an1}Waldman:
It became a thing,
546
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,030
{\an1}that Derek was a party animal.
547
00:24:55,037 --> 00:24:57,672
{\an1}And George knew
Derek wasn’t a party animal.
548
00:24:57,672 --> 00:24:59,872
{\an1}Everybody knew Derek
wasn’t a party animal.
549
00:24:59,875 --> 00:25:02,010
{\an1}Jeter: I said, "Look, you know,
you started this story, right?
550
00:25:02,010 --> 00:25:03,610
{\an1}Now you have to end it.
551
00:25:03,612 --> 00:25:05,542
{\an1}You’re the one that came out
and mentioned this.
552
00:25:05,547 --> 00:25:07,716
{\an1}So go and you fix it."
553
00:25:07,716 --> 00:25:09,451
{\an1}And he starts yelling at me.
554
00:25:09,451 --> 00:25:11,551
{\an1}"I thought you were
coming in here to apologize
555
00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:13,889
{\an1}for getting me in the paper."
And I said, "Me apologize?"
556
00:25:13,889 --> 00:25:16,049
{\an1}So we’re going back and forth.
We’re yelling.
557
00:25:16,058 --> 00:25:18,693
{\an1}I’m actually --
I walk out of his office,
558
00:25:18,693 --> 00:25:20,462
{\an1}and he slaps me on the back.
559
00:25:20,462 --> 00:25:22,330
{\an1}And I look,
and all the employees
560
00:25:22,330 --> 00:25:23,899
{\an1}have their heads in the hallway
561
00:25:23,899 --> 00:25:26,459
{\an1}’cause they’re listening to us
go back and forth.
562
00:25:26,468 --> 00:25:28,336
{\an1}Close:
Right about that time,
563
00:25:28,336 --> 00:25:30,405
{\an1}we were doing a potential new
advertising campaign with Visa.
564
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:32,005
{\an1}I got a call
565
00:25:32,007 --> 00:25:35,210
{\an1}from someone connected
with this Visa commercial,
566
00:25:35,210 --> 00:25:38,480
{\an1}and they’re coming to me
for Mr. Steinbrenner.
567
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,410
{\an1}Close: This might
be an interesting twist.
568
00:25:40,415 --> 00:25:42,250
{\an1}"You, too, Boss,
can be part of the commercial."
569
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:44,920
{\an1}So, then I dislocated
my shoulder
570
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,820
{\an1}on opening day in Toronto.
571
00:25:46,822 --> 00:25:49,152
{\an1}Announcer:
Jeter may be hurt.
572
00:25:49,157 --> 00:25:51,359
{\an1}And they got him
as Jeter came off the bag.
573
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,429
{\an1}Went back to Tampa to rehab.
574
00:25:54,429 --> 00:25:57,199
{\an1}That’s when we filmed
the Visa commercial.
575
00:25:57,199 --> 00:25:59,599
{\an1}Come on in, Derek.
You’re our starting shortstop.
576
00:25:59,601 --> 00:26:01,701
{\an1}How can you possibly afford
577
00:26:01,703 --> 00:26:04,172
{\an1}to spend two nights dancing,
two nights eating out,
578
00:26:04,172 --> 00:26:06,572
{\an1}and three nights just
carousing with your friends?
579
00:26:06,575 --> 00:26:08,115
{\an1}[ Drum roll ]
580
00:26:10,045 --> 00:26:12,345
{\an1}Ohh!
Announcer: If you want
to enjoy the New York...
581
00:26:12,347 --> 00:26:14,282
{\an1}I’m probably one
of the few people in the world
582
00:26:14,282 --> 00:26:15,912
{\an1}to ever see them dance
in a conga line.
583
00:26:15,917 --> 00:26:18,186
{\an1}He would only do it once.
He said they’d better get it
584
00:26:18,186 --> 00:26:19,721
{\an1}’cause he wasn’t
gonna do it again.
585
00:26:19,721 --> 00:26:21,790
{\an1}You know, we got into it
a couple times, you know?
586
00:26:21,790 --> 00:26:23,458
{\an1}But it was healthy.
587
00:26:23,458 --> 00:26:26,288
{\an1}You know, a few weeks later,
I went back to New York,
588
00:26:26,294 --> 00:26:29,364
{\an1}and this was Hideki Matsui’s
first season with the Yankees.
589
00:26:29,364 --> 00:26:31,464
{\an1}So I said, "Okay.
I’m gonna have Matsu over.
590
00:26:31,466 --> 00:26:33,135
{\an1}I’m gonna invite
all my teammates.
591
00:26:33,135 --> 00:26:34,803
{\an1}We’re gonna take him out
afterwards."
592
00:26:34,803 --> 00:26:40,308
{\an1}There’s 10, 15 teammates
all at this club in New York.
593
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:44,238
{\an1}Next day, back page,
picture of me...
594
00:26:44,246 --> 00:26:47,282
{\an1}saying that Derek’s
out on the town.
595
00:26:47,282 --> 00:26:49,412
{\an1}We fly to Cincinnati.
596
00:26:49,417 --> 00:26:50,919
{\an1}I get a message from our PR guy
597
00:26:50,919 --> 00:26:52,949
{\an1}saying, "The Boss
wants to speak to you."
598
00:26:52,954 --> 00:26:55,390
{\an1}I’m like,
"Damn. I’m in trouble."
599
00:26:55,390 --> 00:26:57,390
{\an1}He called me to name me captain.
600
00:26:57,392 --> 00:26:59,122
{\an1}Cashman:
We’re very proud to introduce
601
00:26:59,127 --> 00:27:02,230
{\an1}the 11th captain of the New York
Yankees, Derek Jeter.

603
00:27:03,899 --> 00:27:05,999
{\an1}Jeter: Well, I don’t know why,
you know, he chose it.
604
00:27:06,001 --> 00:27:08,101
{\an1}He just said that he thought
that this was the time.
605
00:27:08,103 --> 00:27:10,003
{\an1}I remember George calling me,
606
00:27:10,005 --> 00:27:13,074
{\an1}and he says,
"I’m gonna name Derek captain."
607
00:27:13,074 --> 00:27:15,774
{\an1}Something was happening
between the two,
608
00:27:15,777 --> 00:27:17,779
{\an1}and he wanted to fix it.
609
00:27:17,779 --> 00:27:19,939
{\an1}Well, obviously,
it goes without saying
610
00:27:19,948 --> 00:27:22,517
{\an1}how great of an honor it is
for me to be here
611
00:27:22,517 --> 00:27:24,920
{\an1}and be named the 11th captain
in Yankee history.
612
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,120
{\an1}I mean, you know,
I’m a Yankee historian,
613
00:27:27,122 --> 00:27:29,591

617
00:27:35,864 --> 00:27:37,832
{\an1}It’s not a title
thrown around too lightly.
618
00:27:37,832 --> 00:27:39,701
{\an1}Randolph: Very few of us
get that opportunity
619
00:27:39,701 --> 00:27:43,939
{\an1}being given that responsibility
to help lead that team.
620
00:27:43,939 --> 00:27:45,639
{\an1}It was just --
just a real sense of pride
621
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,110
{\an1}being a part of a small group
of great Yankee captains.
622
00:27:50,111 --> 00:27:52,280
{\an1}I took that responsibility
seriously.
623
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,110
{\an1}You know, Derek Jeter,
if they had named him captain
624
00:27:54,115 --> 00:27:57,118
{\an1}three years ago, that would
have been the right time.
625
00:27:57,118 --> 00:27:58,818
{\an1}There’s nothing
I would have done differently
626

{\an1}if I were not the captain.
627
00:28:00,655 --> 00:28:02,455

00:28:02,457 --> 00:28:04,626
{\an1}and, you know, I tried
to get to know my teammates.
629
00:28:04,626 --> 00:28:06,461
{\an1}Just because you’re
in a position of power
630
00:28:06,461 --> 00:28:08,330
{\an1}doesn’t mean people
are gonna listen to you.
631
00:28:08,330 --> 00:28:09,830
{\an1}They may hear you.
It doesn’t mean
632
00:28:09,831 --> 00:28:11,661
{\an1}they’re gonna listen to you
and respect you.
633
00:28:11,666 --> 00:28:13,468
{\an1}You got to take the time
634
00:28:13,468 --> 00:28:15,568
{\an1}to get to know people
that you’re leading.
635
00:28:15,570 --> 00:28:19,300
{\an1}You know, I like to operate
with people privately.
636
00:28:19,307 --> 00:28:21,409
{\an1}Don’t do it
because everyone’s watching you.
637
00:28:21,409 --> 00:28:23,309
{\an1}You don’t do it
because cameras are on.
638
00:28:23,311 --> 00:28:26,241
{\an1}But you do what you feel
is right to help the team.
639
00:28:31,353 --> 00:28:33,083
{\an1}Announcer: Hit high in the air
to left field.
640
00:28:33,088 --> 00:28:35,056
{\an1}Going to the corner,
Yastrzemski.
641
00:28:35,056 --> 00:28:36,524
{\an1}It’s over the wall!
642
00:28:36,524 --> 00:28:38,860
{\an1}It’s a home run for Bucky Dent!
643
00:28:38,860 --> 00:28:42,590
{\an1}If there’s one thing you need to
know about the Boston Red Sox,
644
00:28:42,597 --> 00:28:45,066
{\an1}it’s that they’re always
short of the Yankees,
645
00:28:45,066 --> 00:28:46,768
{\an1}not quite trying to win.
646
00:28:46,768 --> 00:28:48,228
{\an1}They would complain.
647
00:28:48,236 --> 00:28:51,273
{\an1}They’d bitch about not winning
since 1918.
648
00:28:51,273 --> 00:28:52,703
{\an1}Verducci:
It really began to change
649
00:28:52,707 --> 00:28:55,610
{\an1}when a new ownership group
came into Boston.
650
00:28:55,610 --> 00:28:58,079
{\an1}We will extinguish
the Curse of the Bambino.
651
00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:00,509
{\an1}Our focus was on constructing
652
00:29:00,515 --> 00:29:02,751
{\an1}a championship-caliber team,
you know,
653
00:29:02,751 --> 00:29:05,181
{\an1}with hungry players
who are fearless.
654
00:29:06,955 --> 00:29:09,291
{\an1}Olney: And they were
talking a big game.
655
00:29:09,291 --> 00:29:14,691
{\an1}Larry Lucchino refers to them
as the Evil Empire.
656
00:29:14,696 --> 00:29:17,899
{\an1}Steinbrenner:
I’m a little upset when
they call the New York Yankees
657
00:29:17,899 --> 00:29:19,799
{\an1}an evil empire.
Do you like it?
658
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:21,431
{\an1}Announcer:
And it hit him.
659
00:29:21,436 --> 00:29:23,638
{\an1}So Pedro’s gonna
come inside today.
660
00:29:23,638 --> 00:29:25,468
{\an1}We didn’t like ’em.
They didn’t like us.
661
00:29:25,473 --> 00:29:27,142
{\an1}I don’t hate the Yankees.
You know?
662
00:29:27,142 --> 00:29:29,142
{\an1}You know,
I didn’t like the word "hate."
663
00:29:29,144 --> 00:29:32,213
{\an1}We hated each other.
We really did.
664
00:29:32,213 --> 00:29:33,782
{\an1}Announcer:
Here’s the pitch to Manny.
665
00:29:33,782 --> 00:29:35,712
{\an1}There’s a fly ball deep down
the left-field line,
666
00:29:35,717 --> 00:29:37,619
{\an1}into the upper deck!
667
00:29:37,619 --> 00:29:40,079
{\an1}But Red Sox, you know,
they have a good team now.
668
00:29:40,088 --> 00:29:42,324
{\an1}You know, every time
we played those guys, man,
669
00:29:42,324 --> 00:29:45,324
{\an1}it was -- it seemed like
it was life or death.
670
00:29:45,327 --> 00:29:47,996
{\an1}Announcer: We could have some
trouble here this afternoon.
671
00:29:47,996 --> 00:29:51,333
{\an1}They’re not going away, and
we know we weren’t going away.
672
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:54,433
{\an1}Epstein: We weren’t obsessed
with them. We didn’t fear them.
673
00:29:54,436 --> 00:29:56,776
{\an1}Let’s focus on kicking their ass
on the field.
674
00:29:58,573 --> 00:30:01,343
{\an1}Buck: One of the fiercest
rivalries in all of sports --
675
00:30:01,343 --> 00:30:03,273
{\an1}Boston and New York.
676
00:30:03,278 --> 00:30:05,480
{\an1}Announcer:
This is why players play,
677
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,110
{\an1}why writers write,
and why fans are fans.
678
00:30:08,116 --> 00:30:09,816
{\an1}Jeter:
You couldn’t help to notice
679
00:30:09,818 --> 00:30:12,087
{\an1}that it was different
than any other series.
680
00:30:12,087 --> 00:30:14,189
{\an1}It was built up like
it was the end of the world.
681
00:30:14,189 --> 00:30:16,149
{\an1}This is almost like
the World Series, really.
682
00:30:16,157 --> 00:30:18,293
{\an1}I think they were tired
of hearing about us.
683
00:30:18,293 --> 00:30:21,930
{\an1}Announcer: Pitch is swung on,
and there’s a drive! Way back!
684
00:30:21,930 --> 00:30:25,200
{\an1}We were an incredible
offensive juggernaut.
685
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,469
{\an1}Announcer:
Another Boston home run.
686
00:30:27,469 --> 00:30:29,799
{\an1}It’s in there.
Called strike three.
687
00:30:29,804 --> 00:30:31,139
{\an1}And this one’s over.
688
00:30:31,139 --> 00:30:33,769
{\an1}Jeter:
Two best teams in baseball.
689
00:30:33,775 --> 00:30:35,275
{\an1}Announcer:
Ground ball to short.
690
00:30:35,276 --> 00:30:37,045
{\an1}Jeter touches second,
throws to first.
691
00:30:37,045 --> 00:30:38,380
{\an1}Double play.
692
00:30:38,380 --> 00:30:41,810
{\an1}And, boy,
did the Yankees need that.
693
00:30:41,816 --> 00:30:44,052
{\an1}Struck him out swinging.
Fastball up.
694
00:30:44,052 --> 00:30:45,452
{\an1}Buck: And this series
695
00:30:45,453 --> 00:30:48,653
{\an1}is tied at a game apiece
going to Fenway.
696
00:30:48,656 --> 00:30:50,825
{\an1}McCarver: You’re gonna see a few
hitters straightened up, too,
697
00:30:50,825 --> 00:30:52,694
{\an1}with Pedro Martinez
and Roger Clemens
698
00:30:52,694 --> 00:30:54,462
{\an1}pitching against one another.
699
00:30:54,462 --> 00:30:56,030
{\an1}All that hype played a part,
700
00:30:56,030 --> 00:30:57,399
{\an1}and you can feel it
on the field.
701
00:30:57,399 --> 00:30:58,899
{\an1}No one wants to make a mistake.
702
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:00,200
{\an1}Announcer:
Curveball. That one is hit
703
00:31:00,201 --> 00:31:01,901
{\an1}high and deep to left field.
704
00:31:01,903 --> 00:31:05,873
{\an1}That one is way back there,
and it is over everything!
705
00:31:05,874 --> 00:31:08,343
{\an1}That’s into the corner,
and that is really rocked.
706
00:31:08,343 --> 00:31:11,413
{\an1}Buck: And the Yankees are
figuring out Pedro Martinez
707
00:31:11,413 --> 00:31:13,013
{\an1}here in this fourth inning.
708
00:31:13,014 --> 00:31:15,714
{\an1}We were on him. We had great
at bats against him.
709
00:31:15,717 --> 00:31:17,552
{\an1}Garcia.
710
00:31:17,552 --> 00:31:20,752
{\an1}Takes one over his head
and shoots a look out at Pedro.
711
00:31:20,755 --> 00:31:22,724
{\an1}Garcia’s not happy.
712
00:31:22,724 --> 00:31:24,559
{\an1}I wish Karim
would’ve charged the mound.
713
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:27,259
{\an1}We were ready. I mean, everybody
was screaming at him.
714
00:31:27,262 --> 00:31:29,030
{\an1}Announcer: And the Yankees
are out of the dugout.
715
00:31:29,030 --> 00:31:30,760
{\an1}I hated him.
716
00:31:30,765 --> 00:31:32,700
{\an1}McCarver:
Martinez now pointing.
717
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:34,430
{\an1}That’s the wrong thing to do.
718
00:31:34,436 --> 00:31:36,436
{\an1}He’s not saying
to use your head.
719
00:31:36,438 --> 00:31:39,340
{\an1}He’s saying,
"I’ll hit you in the head."
720
00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:42,270
{\an1}Clemens: I got the magic bullet
now. It’s in my court.
721
00:31:42,277 --> 00:31:44,779
{\an1}Somebody’s gonna eat one
before it’s over.
722
00:31:44,779 --> 00:31:47,549
{\an1}Announcer: Ramirez. And look
at Ramirez. There he goes.
723
00:31:47,549 --> 00:31:50,209
{\an1}And everybody’s up.
Bullpens are emptying.
724
00:31:50,218 --> 00:31:51,719
{\an1}Posada:
I don’t know where Pedro went.
725
00:31:51,719 --> 00:31:53,788
{\an1}I was looking for him
all over the place.
726
00:31:53,788 --> 00:31:56,048
{\an1}Next thing you know,
we see this bald-headed man
727
00:31:56,057 --> 00:31:57,725
{\an1}go flying across the field.
728
00:31:57,725 --> 00:32:00,261
{\an1}Announcer: Oh, my gosh.
Don Zimmer went after Pedro.
729
00:32:00,261 --> 00:32:02,091
{\an1}And Pedro threw him down!
730
00:32:02,096 --> 00:32:05,433
{\an1}You know, you see a bald head.
I thought it was David Wells.
731
00:32:05,433 --> 00:32:08,369
{\an1}Announcer: Don Zimmer,
bench coach of the Yankees.
732
00:32:08,369 --> 00:32:10,869
{\an1}He’s 72 years old.
733
00:32:10,872 --> 00:32:13,472
{\an1}I don’t think Zimmer was
the right guy to go after Pedro.
734
00:32:13,475 --> 00:32:14,909
{\an1}Man: Who was the right guy
to go after him?
735
00:32:14,909 --> 00:32:17,109
{\an1}[Chuckling]
Anybody. Anybody but Zimm.
736
00:32:19,314 --> 00:32:23,751
{\an1}Announcer: And the Yankees
have won the ballgame, 4-3.
737
00:32:23,751 --> 00:32:25,581
{\an1}Everybody knew
at the start of this game
738
00:32:25,587 --> 00:32:27,121
{\an1}it was likely to get hot,
739
00:32:27,121 --> 00:32:29,551
{\an1}but nobody thought
it was gonna look like this.
740
00:32:29,557 --> 00:32:30,992
{\an1}If that happened in New York,
741
00:32:30,992 --> 00:32:32,592
{\an1}we would have arrested
the perpetrator.
742
00:32:32,594 --> 00:32:34,929
{\an1}Nobody should throw
a 70-year-old man to the ground.
743
00:32:34,929 --> 00:32:36,459
{\an1}Man:
It was in the ninth inning
744
00:32:36,464 --> 00:32:38,164
{\an1}that another fight
erupted in the bullpen.
745
00:32:38,166 --> 00:32:40,668
{\an1}New York pitcher Jeff Nelson
and Karim Garcia
746
00:32:40,668 --> 00:32:43,098
{\an1}in a fight with a part-time
Red Sox employee.
747
00:32:43,104 --> 00:32:46,441
{\an1}We’ve upgraded it
from a battle to a war.
748
00:32:46,441 --> 00:32:47,809
{\an1}Announcer: 2-2 pitch.
749
00:32:47,809 --> 00:32:49,909
{\an1}Swing, and there’s a long drive!
750
00:32:49,911 --> 00:32:52,241
{\an1}It is gone! A home run!
751
00:32:52,247 --> 00:32:54,182
{\an1}Bryant: What the Yankees
and the Red Sox did
752
00:32:54,182 --> 00:32:57,752
{\an1}against each other,
to each other, for each other
753
00:32:57,752 --> 00:33:00,282
{\an1}was the most remarkable period
of baseball in my life.
754
00:33:00,288 --> 00:33:02,190
{\an1}Announcer: The series
just won’t die, will it?
755
00:33:02,190 --> 00:33:04,990
{\an1}Varitek to short.
Jeter knocks it down.
756
00:33:04,993 --> 00:33:07,362
{\an1}Jeter gets the out!
757
00:33:07,362 --> 00:33:10,462
{\an1}What a play by Derek Jeter!
758
00:33:10,465 --> 00:33:12,534
{\an1}Announcer: Watching these
Red Sox, You wouldn’t know
759
00:33:12,534 --> 00:33:14,302
{\an1}that they were down 3-2.
760
00:33:14,302 --> 00:33:15,932
{\an1}Buck:
That’s hammered into left field.
761
00:33:15,937 --> 00:33:19,107
{\an1}Varitek into the upper deck.
762
00:33:19,107 --> 00:33:21,709
{\an1}Bryant:
The Red Sox -- not only are
they not afraid of these guys,
763
00:33:21,709 --> 00:33:23,539
{\an1}they might be better.
764
00:33:23,545 --> 00:33:25,713
{\an1}Buck: Nixon hammers one
to deep right.
765
00:33:25,713 --> 00:33:27,813
{\an1}It’s 9-6 Boston.
766
00:33:27,815 --> 00:33:30,852
{\an1}Bryant: Really first time
the Red Sox instilled fear
767
00:33:30,852 --> 00:33:32,852
{\an1}into the hearts
of the New York Yankees.
768
00:33:32,854 --> 00:33:34,489
{\an1}Garciaparra:
There was just this belief
769
00:33:34,489 --> 00:33:36,189
{\an1}that it’s our time,
we’re gonna get there,
770
00:33:36,190 --> 00:33:38,320
{\an1}we’re gonna be part of
the greatest World Series ever.
771
00:33:38,326 --> 00:33:40,695
{\an1}Because at the time,
the Cubs were competing.
772
00:33:40,695 --> 00:33:43,064
{\an1}And it was like,
"Oh, yeah, they’re gonna do it,
773
00:33:43,064 --> 00:33:45,333
{\an1}we’re gonna do it,
and we’re gonna play them."
774
00:33:45,333 --> 00:33:47,869
{\an1}For me,
it was business as usual.
775
00:33:47,869 --> 00:33:51,999
{\an1}Announcer:
Game 7 of the American League
Championship Series.
776
00:33:52,006 --> 00:33:55,476
{\an1}Clemens and Pedro Martinez.
777
00:33:55,476 --> 00:33:57,579
{\an1}The Curse will be on the line.
778
00:33:57,579 --> 00:33:59,639
{\an1}You could feel the electricity.
779
00:33:59,647 --> 00:34:01,883
{\an1}Something’s gonna
happen tonight.
780
00:34:01,883 --> 00:34:03,683
{\an1}Buck:
Nixon into right center field.
781
00:34:03,685 --> 00:34:06,854
{\an1}The Red Sox strike first.
782
00:34:06,854 --> 00:34:08,523
{\an1}Home run, Millar.
783
00:34:08,523 --> 00:34:10,353
{\an1}It’s 4-0, Boston.
784
00:34:10,358 --> 00:34:14,228
{\an1}Here comes Joe Torre, and
that is it for Roger Clemens.
785
00:34:14,228 --> 00:34:16,028
{\an1}Clemens: Really upset
in that locker room.
786
00:34:16,030 --> 00:34:18,030
{\an1}You know, is the season
gonna be over, is it not?
787
00:34:18,032 --> 00:34:20,202
{\an1}You got Pedro out there.
He’s one of the best.
788
00:34:23,371 --> 00:34:25,570
{\an1}Buck: Jeter strikes out.
789
00:34:25,573 --> 00:34:28,873
{\an1}You don’t want
to fall behind Pedro.
790
00:34:28,876 --> 00:34:30,545
{\an1}Announcer: Ortiz hits
a long drive to right.
791
00:34:30,545 --> 00:34:32,945
{\an1}Back is Garcia on the track,
at the wall.
792
00:34:32,947 --> 00:34:37,117
{\an1}It’s gone!
Boston has a 5-2 lead.
793
00:34:37,117 --> 00:34:39,218
{\an1}Feinsand: It was a morgue.
It didn’t seem like
794
00:34:39,220 --> 00:34:41,849
{\an1}there was much faith that
they were going to come back.
795
00:34:41,856 --> 00:34:45,293
{\an1}Pedro had given a Herculean
effort coming off the mound,
796
00:34:45,293 --> 00:34:46,722
{\an1}pointing up to the heavens,
797
00:34:46,728 --> 00:34:48,863
{\an1}and getting his hugs
in the dugout and stuff.
798
00:34:48,863 --> 00:34:52,133
{\an1}That’s usually it
for the pitcher.
799
00:34:52,133 --> 00:34:53,968
{\an1}Announcer:
Boy, is it strange
800
00:34:53,968 --> 00:34:57,638
{\an1}that Little is not
going to his bullpen?
801
00:34:57,639 --> 00:34:59,969
{\an1}Buck: And with one out here in
the bottom of the eighth inning,
802
00:34:59,974 --> 00:35:01,943
{\an1}he works to Derek Jeter.
803
00:35:01,943 --> 00:35:03,773
{\an1}Jeter:
When I’m actually playing,
804
00:35:03,778 --> 00:35:07,148
{\an1}I don’t really get nervous
because my mind would go,
805
00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:08,708
{\an1}"Something good’s gonna happen."
806
00:35:08,716 --> 00:35:11,452
{\an1}Plus, it was Boston at the time.
807
00:35:11,452 --> 00:35:12,982
{\an1}You don’t ever say it,
but you think
808
00:35:12,987 --> 00:35:14,589
{\an1}they’ll find a way
to screw it up.
809
00:35:14,589 --> 00:35:17,589
{\an1}Buck: The Red Sox
five defensive outs away
810
00:35:17,592 --> 00:35:19,460
{\an1}from heading
to the World Series.
811
00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:22,160
{\an1}Announcer: The pitch is swung on
and lined to deep right field.
812
00:35:22,163 --> 00:35:24,999
{\an1}Nixon going back, way back.
And it’s over his head.
813
00:35:24,999 --> 00:35:28,129
{\an1}Jeter goes to second
and holds on with a double.
814
00:35:28,136 --> 00:35:30,136
{\an1}Jeter: So it’s not like
we had to say it.
815
00:35:30,138 --> 00:35:34,075
{\an1}But you think in your head like,
"Something’s gonna happen."
816
00:35:34,075 --> 00:35:36,175
{\an1}Garciaparra: And I think
going into game 7 was weird
817
00:35:36,177 --> 00:35:37,917
{\an1}because the Cubs lost.
818
00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:43,011
{\an1}And I was like, "Uh...uh-oh."
819
00:35:43,017 --> 00:35:44,285
{\an1}Announcer: Base hit!
820
00:35:44,285 --> 00:35:46,821
{\an1}Jeter rounds third. He’ll score.
821
00:35:46,821 --> 00:35:50,021
{\an1}And the Red Sox have a 5-3 lead.
822
00:35:50,024 --> 00:35:52,124
{\an1}Buck: Grady Little
out of the dugout.
823
00:35:52,126 --> 00:35:54,796
{\an1}With 115 pitches on the night,
824
00:35:54,796 --> 00:35:57,031
{\an1}Grady Little is gonna
stick with his starter.
825
00:35:57,031 --> 00:35:59,600
{\an1}Announcer:
I’m amazed at Grady Little.
826
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,200
{\an1}Epstein: Grady’s closer to
the players than anybody else,
827
00:36:02,203 --> 00:36:03,703
{\an1}and he believed in Pedro
828
00:36:03,705 --> 00:36:05,640
{\an1}a lot more than the relievers
we had available.
829
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,770
{\an1}But...yeah, of course,
everyone in that ballpark
830
00:36:07,775 --> 00:36:10,712
{\an1}thought that was it
at that point.
831
00:36:10,712 --> 00:36:13,042
{\an1}Announcer: Now Pedro
holds his set and deals.
832
00:36:13,047 --> 00:36:15,683
{\an1}Lined like a bullet.
It’s a ground-rule double.
833
00:36:15,683 --> 00:36:19,721
{\an1}The Yankees are a single away
from tying the game.
834
00:36:19,721 --> 00:36:22,451
{\an1}Buck:
And he stays out for Posada.
835
00:36:22,457 --> 00:36:26,194
{\an1}Jorge had never had success
off Pedro. I mean, none.
836
00:36:26,194 --> 00:36:29,630
{\an1}Probably the best pitcher
that I have ever faced.
837
00:36:29,630 --> 00:36:31,299
{\an1}Buck:
Breaking ball for a strike.
838
00:36:31,299 --> 00:36:33,229
{\an1}Posada: I told Derek,
"I really feel like
839
00:36:33,234 --> 00:36:34,702
{\an1}he knows what I’m thinking."
840
00:36:34,702 --> 00:36:36,571
{\an1}And he starts laughing.
He said, "No."
841
00:36:36,571 --> 00:36:38,801
{\an1}He said, "Stop guessing.
You know, look for the ball."
842
00:36:38,806 --> 00:36:41,008
{\an1}Jeter: But you could tell, man,
especially considering
843
00:36:41,008 --> 00:36:43,068
{\an1}what had happened
during the whole brawl
844
00:36:43,077 --> 00:36:46,080
{\an1}and Pedro pointing at his head
and Jorge wanting to fight him.
845
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,680
{\an1}I felt like something good
was gonna happen.
846
00:36:48,683 --> 00:36:50,683
{\an1}Announcer: It’ll be a 2-2.
847
00:36:50,685 --> 00:36:53,521
{\an1}Swung on and looped
to shallow center field.
848
00:36:53,521 --> 00:36:54,689
{\an1}It is a base hit!
849
00:36:54,689 --> 00:36:56,419
{\an1}One run scores! Bernie!
850
00:36:56,424 --> 00:36:58,593
{\an1}Here’s Matsui! He scores!
851
00:36:58,593 --> 00:37:00,093
{\an1}Posada goes to second.
852
00:37:00,094 --> 00:37:02,430
{\an1}And the Yankees
have come all the way back
853
00:37:02,430 --> 00:37:05,260
{\an1}in one of the greatest comebacks
you’ll ever see!
854
00:37:05,266 --> 00:37:06,834
{\an1}Buck:
And now in a tie game,
855
00:37:06,834 --> 00:37:10,034
{\an1}the Yankees bring in
Mariano Rivera.
856
00:37:10,037 --> 00:37:12,507
{\an1}I said, "Well, Lord, I’m here."
857
00:37:12,507 --> 00:37:14,177
{\an1}Pitched the ninth.
858
00:37:16,944 --> 00:37:18,284
{\an1}Pitched the tenth.
859
00:37:20,681 --> 00:37:22,281
{\an1}Pitched the eleventh.
860
00:37:24,385 --> 00:37:26,721
{\an1}Buck: Three shutout innings
for Mariano Rivera
861
00:37:26,721 --> 00:37:29,521
{\an1}sets up the bottom of
the eleventh in game 7.
862
00:37:29,524 --> 00:37:31,559
{\an1}Rivera:
When I came back to the dugout,
863
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:34,559
{\an1}Mel says, "Mo, you’re done."
I said, "I’m done with what?"
864
00:37:34,562 --> 00:37:36,892
{\an1}"You’re done pitching."
I said, "No. I’m not done."
865
00:37:36,898 --> 00:37:38,900
{\an1}But he said not to worry
because we’re gonna win.
866
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:40,868
{\an1}Announcer:
Here’s Aaron Boone to lead off.
867
00:37:40,868 --> 00:37:43,198
{\an1}Buck: Aaron Boone picked up
at the trading deadline
868
00:37:43,204 --> 00:37:44,904
{\an1}from Cincinnati.
869
00:37:44,906 --> 00:37:47,875
{\an1}Aaron didn’t start the game.
He was struggling.
870
00:37:47,875 --> 00:37:49,475
{\an1}Randolph:
He’s a little pissed off.
871
00:37:49,477 --> 00:37:51,746

I say, "Listen, man.

my pick to click tonight.

The only thing I said to him --
875
00:37:57,451 --> 00:38:00,581
{\an1}"Just go up there and try
to hit a single to right field."

{\an1}I remember it did rain.
1092
00:47:28,889 --> 00:47:30,389
{\an1}I do remember at some point
1093
00:47:30,391 --> 00:47:33,491
{\an1}we were both
in the dugout together.
1094
00:47:33,494 --> 00:47:36,494
{\an1}Rodriguez: I approached him,
and I said, "Hey, are we good?"
1095
00:47:36,497 --> 00:47:39,800
{\an1}And he said, "Hm.
1096
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,200
{\an1}Kinda."
1097
00:47:41,201 --> 00:47:43,570
{\an1}I said, "Well, what’s up?
What’s happening?"
1098
00:47:43,570 --> 00:47:45,539
{\an1}And he said, "Well,
I was talking to my father,
1099
00:47:45,539 --> 00:47:47,908
{\an1}and I really
don’t understand why,
1100
00:47:47,908 --> 00:47:49,468
{\an1}in the prime of your career --
1101
00:47:49,476 --> 00:47:51,912
{\an1}you just won an MVP,
you just won Gold Glove --
1102
00:47:51,912 --> 00:47:55,249
{\an1}why would you want
to give that up
1103
00:47:55,249 --> 00:47:57,009
{\an1}to come play third base?
1104
00:47:57,017 --> 00:47:58,852
{\an1}I’m not sure
I would have done that.
1105
00:47:58,852 --> 00:48:02,322
{\an1}So I’m wondering, like, kind
of like, what’s your agenda?"
1106
00:48:02,322 --> 00:48:06,492
{\an1}I could only look at it
from my point of view, right?
1107
00:48:06,493 --> 00:48:10,431
{\an1}If someone came to me
and said, you know,
1108
00:48:10,431 --> 00:48:12,431
{\an1}you have an opportunity
to go somewhere else
1109
00:48:12,433 --> 00:48:14,401
{\an1}and you have to
switch positions,
1110
00:48:14,401 --> 00:48:16,531
{\an1}I’d be like, "Man. I don’t know
if I can handle this."
1111
00:48:16,537 --> 00:48:18,005
{\an1}You know,
just be honest with you.
1112
00:48:18,005 --> 00:48:19,773
{\an1}I don’t think
I could have handled it.
1113
00:48:19,773 --> 00:48:24,943
{\an1}I said I came here knowing
that the captain of the team
1114
00:48:24,945 --> 00:48:28,615
{\an1}and a four-time world champion
was the shortstop.
1115
00:48:28,615 --> 00:48:31,518
{\an1}I respect that shortstop.
I respect you.
1116
00:48:31,518 --> 00:48:33,218
{\an1}And if George Steinbrenner
1117
00:48:33,220 --> 00:48:37,190
{\an1}called me into his office
tomorrow
1118
00:48:37,191 --> 00:48:39,191
{\an1}and said, ’I’m moving Derek
out of shortstop
1119
00:48:39,193 --> 00:48:41,261
{\an1}and I’m putting you,’
I go back to Texas.
1120
00:48:41,261 --> 00:48:43,361
{\an1}I would not play.
1121
00:48:43,363 --> 00:48:47,133
{\an1}I gave you my word
I came here to play third base."
1122
00:48:47,134 --> 00:48:48,802
{\an1}I give it to him.
1123
00:48:48,802 --> 00:48:51,132
{\an1}You know, he never brought up
playing shortstop,
1124
00:48:51,138 --> 00:48:53,707
{\an1}or there were never any whispers
1125
00:48:53,707 --> 00:48:56,043
{\an1}from someone about him
wanting to play shortstop.
1126
00:48:56,043 --> 00:48:58,312
{\an1}I think he committed
to playing third base.
1127
00:48:58,312 --> 00:49:01,812
{\an1}And you got to give him credit
for that.
1128
00:49:03,650 --> 00:49:05,380
{\an1}Announcer: We’re in the top
of the 12th inning.
1129
00:49:05,385 --> 00:49:09,155
{\an1}Yankees and the Red Sox
are tied at 3.
1130
00:49:09,156 --> 00:49:11,625
{\an1}Jeter:
Typical Yankee/Red Sox series
1131
00:49:11,625 --> 00:49:13,460
{\an1}where everyone’s
paying attention.
1132
00:49:13,460 --> 00:49:14,990
{\an1}It’s like if you win the series,
1133
00:49:14,995 --> 00:49:16,830
{\an1}then you’re gonna run away
with the division.
1134
00:49:16,830 --> 00:49:20,160
{\an1}If you lose the series,
then your season’s over.
1135
00:49:20,167 --> 00:49:22,836
{\an1}Announcer: 1-2.
1136
00:49:22,836 --> 00:49:25,239
{\an1}He loops that to left field.
Gonna be a tough play.
1137
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,069
{\an1}Jeter on the run,
makes the play!
1138
00:49:27,074 --> 00:49:29,443
{\an1}And flies into the stands!
1139
00:49:29,443 --> 00:49:32,243
{\an1}Oh, what a play by Derek Jeter!
1140
00:49:32,246 --> 00:49:35,349
{\an1}It was not
a difficult play to make.
1141
00:49:35,349 --> 00:49:37,679
{\an1}Catching the ball
was not difficult.
1142
00:49:37,684 --> 00:49:39,784
{\an1}But I knew from
being over there before
1143
00:49:39,786 --> 00:49:41,355
{\an1}I didn’t have enough time
to stop.
1144
00:49:41,355 --> 00:49:43,423
{\an1}You know, everyone says,
"Why didn’t you just stop?"
1145
00:49:43,423 --> 00:49:44,791
{\an1}I couldn’t stop.
1146
00:49:44,791 --> 00:49:45,959
{\an1}Announcer:
I mean, it’s just full tilt.
1147
00:49:45,959 --> 00:49:47,359
{\an1}There’s no way you can...
1148
00:49:47,361 --> 00:49:49,291
{\an1}Jeter: I jump over
the photographers pit,
1149
00:49:49,296 --> 00:49:52,299
{\an1}and then I hit the chair
where there was no fan sitting.
1150
00:49:52,299 --> 00:49:53,859
{\an1}It was -- It was painful.
1151
00:49:53,867 --> 00:49:56,436
{\an1}Announcer: Wow.
Jeter really banged himself up.
1152
00:49:56,436 --> 00:49:58,272
{\an1}You can’t say enough about him.
1153
00:49:58,272 --> 00:49:59,872
{\an1}What is he? He’s a winner!
1154
00:49:59,873 --> 00:50:02,473
{\an1}We’re watching
an incredible baseball game.
1155
00:50:02,476 --> 00:50:05,879
{\an1}Epstein: That play and that game
took on such meaning.
1156
00:50:05,879 --> 00:50:08,549
{\an1}You know, Derek,
the captain of the Yankees,
1157
00:50:08,549 --> 00:50:11,549
{\an1}representing everything
that was going right over there.
1158
00:50:11,552 --> 00:50:14,052
{\an1}It reinforces just
all the collective sacrifice
1159
00:50:14,054 --> 00:50:17,524
{\an1}that has to go on to make
a championship-caliber team.
1160
00:50:17,524 --> 00:50:19,493
{\an1}And we hadn’t gotten
to that point yet.
1161
00:50:19,493 --> 00:50:20,893
{\an1}Announcer:
Give-up-your-body play.
1162
00:50:20,894 --> 00:50:23,330
{\an1}Mom and Dad
are obviously concerned.
1163
00:50:23,330 --> 00:50:25,399
{\an1}Jeter:
I went to the hospital
1164
00:50:25,399 --> 00:50:27,899
{\an1}because my eye blew up,
and they were concerned
1165
00:50:27,901 --> 00:50:30,231
{\an1}that I might have broken
the orbital bone.
1166
00:50:30,237 --> 00:50:33,574
{\an1}But I told Mr. T
I was playing the next day.
1167
00:50:33,574 --> 00:50:35,509
{\an1}Announcer: That one’s drilled
deep to left field.
1168
00:50:35,509 --> 00:50:37,739
{\an1}The Yankees will win the game!
1169
00:50:37,744 --> 00:50:40,144
{\an1}The Yankees win the game!
1170
00:50:40,147 --> 00:50:41,682
{\an1}Jeter:
You only have one career.
1171
00:50:41,682 --> 00:50:45,182
{\an1}Right? Your career’s
only so many years.
1172
00:50:45,185 --> 00:50:47,421
{\an1}The ultimate goal is to win.
1173
00:50:47,421 --> 00:50:49,651
{\an1}If we don’t win,
somebody else is winning.
1174
00:50:49,656 --> 00:50:53,093
{\an1}I just didn’t understand
people would act like
1175
00:50:53,093 --> 00:50:56,229
{\an1}you’re playing in the backyard
with your relatives.
1176
00:50:56,229 --> 00:50:58,098
{\an1}You know, it is a game.
I want to have fun.
1177
00:50:58,098 --> 00:51:00,558
{\an1}I had more fun than anyone
when I played.
1178
00:51:00,567 --> 00:51:02,269
{\an1}But I wanted to beat you.
1179
00:51:02,269 --> 00:51:04,999
{\an1}And if you beat us,
I had a problem with it.
1180
00:51:05,005 --> 00:51:07,341
{\an1}I had a real problem with it.
It bothered me.
1181
00:51:07,341 --> 00:51:11,841
{\an1}And, um, I liked when it
bothered people on our team.
1182
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:30,028
{\an1}♪
1183
00:51:30,030 --> 00:51:38,400
{\an1}♪
1184
00:51:38,405 --> 00:51:46,785
{\an1}♪
1185
00:51:50,250 --> 00:51:51,050
{\an1}Asher.
I’m Derek. Nice to meet you.
1186
00:51:51,151 --> 00:51:52,321
{\an1}Let me help you out here buddy.
1187
00:51:55,722 --> 00:51:57,322
{\an1}Isn’t there a goat here?
1188
00:51:57,624 --> 00:52:00,624
{\an1}Is there? Where?
1189
00:52:01,328 --> 00:52:04,338
{\an1}Why are baseball players always
chewing and spitting?
1190
00:52:04,464 --> 00:52:07,764
{\an1}Ha because they have a lot of
down time. A lot of time just
standing around.
1191
00:52:08,135 --> 00:52:10,805
{\an1}How many pieces of bubble
gum can you fit in your mouth
at
1192
00:52:10,937 --> 00:52:12,177
{\an1}once?
1193
00:52:12,305 --> 00:52:15,275
{\an1}Ah one. That’s it
1194
00:52:16,777 --> 00:52:20,617
{\an1}I want a hug. Oh thank you so
much appreciate that great job.
1195
00:52:20,747 --> 00:52:22,587
{\an1}Are you actually the real. I
am.
1196
00:52:23,917 --> 00:52:24,987
{\an1}Are you the real Asher?
Wow I like that... huh?
1197
00:52:25,118 --> 00:52:26,918
{\an1}Wow I like that... huh?
