From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Tony Tarasco was a major league baseball outfielder for the Atlanta Braves, Montreal Expos, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, and New York Mets from 1993 to 2002.
He is most famous for trying to catch a fly ball hit by Derek Jeter in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series between Tarasco's Orioles and the opposing Yankees. Instead, 12 year old fan Jeffrey Maier reached over the fence and caught the ball. A home run was called, although the correct call was likely fan interference.
The play was considered a turning point in the series, which the Yankees won.
