A baseball team in New York, filled with a mix of veterans and young players, win an extra inning game in improbable fashion off a reviled closer. For seven innings, the New York pitcher matches the young ace in waiting of the other team. Reliever after reliever keeps the game tied, until the other team scores a run in the 12th. While other teams would go quietly into the night, this New York team finds a way to win. The phenom shortstop draws a leadoff walk. Then the closer balks. A sacrifice bunt, and the shortstop reaches third. After a groundout, the shortstop creates havoc on the bases, and unbelievably, the closer balks again. Game tied. The veteran lefty first baseman launches one. Game over, put it in the books.
Unfortunately for Yankee fans, the shortstop isn't Jeter; the first baseman isn't Tino; the stadium isn't in the Bronx; the channel isn't YES. These were the games they used to win, and now the team from the other side of town is the one that wins them.
