In a tight game 25 years ago, the Yankees faced a duel against Jaret Wright, who started strong but ultimately saw luck favor New York. Ramiro Mendoza also pitched well but both teams struggled to score. The pivotal moment came when the Yankees capitalized on an earlier missed call by the umpire, leading to a couple of runs in the fifth. Although Cleveland fought back, the fortune of bounces and calls allowed the Yankees to secure the narrow victory, showcasing the unpredictable nature of baseball games.
"Sometimes, in those kinds of games, it's better to be lucky than good, and the Yankees were just good and lucky enough to escape with another win."
"Tino Martinez led off with a single, and after Ledée flew out, Jorge Posada doubled to put two in scoring position... One call that could have flipped in either direction went in favor of the Yankees."
