During the first game of the 1996 American League Championship Series, Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees hit a deep fly ball to right field. As Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tony Tarasco settled under the ball at the edge of the right field fence, 12-year old Yankee fan Jeffrey Maier reached out over the edge of fence and caught the ball with his glove. Instead of the play be ruled an out for fan interference, the umpire ruled the play a home run for Jeter, despite the anger-filled argument by Orioles players and coaches. The Yankees went on to win that game and the series, eventually winning the World Series.
