You might remember that 11th-inning bunt single for setting up Edgar Martinez's legendary walk-off double that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS berth.
"I remember Joey sliding in 1995 against the Yankees," Alex Cora said. "He was out of the baseline and he was called safe. So it is what it is."
