I couldn’t not include it.

While each moment is otherwise a celebration of the A’s or Raiders, the hometown crowd despised this play.

Oakland jumped out to a 2-0 lead on the New York Yankees in the 2001 AL Division Series. The showdown between the MLB’s second-least expensive and highest-paid roster was clearly in the underdog’s favor.

This dreaded flip changed it all.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Yankees led 1-0. Jeremy Giambi singled, though, and Terrence Long ripped a double down the right-field line. But as Giambi chugged around third base, Derek Jeter sprinted from shortstop to the first-base line where he fielded the throw and quickly darted the ball to catcher Jorge Posada, who slapped a tag on Giambi to prevent the game-tying run. New York ended up winning 1-0 and recovered to steal the ALDS.

Yes, the A’s had plenty of opportunities—namely, Games 4 and 5—to escape the meltdown. Jeter’s flip, nevertheless, is remembered as the catalyst for New York’s comeback and the start of the Moneyball era.
