Headed into this day’s matchup with the last place Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees were still rolling. Their division lead was creeping upward, and they were coming off as good a game as a team can have: a 4-0 victory on the back of David Wells perfect game. That sort of historic prelude is difficult to match, but on May 19, the Yanks and O’s did just that, as the East rivals slugged it out in the Bronx, literally. The matchup was far from perfect, but a late comeback with a splash of drama led New York to victory.
