As the start of the World Series approaches, fans can only hope to see a game packed with as much excitement as the one that took place 20 years ago today. The Yankees were coming off an exhilarating comeback win in Game Four, when they erased a 6-0 deficit courtesy of Jim Leyritz, and completed the miracle in extra innings thanks to a patient Wade Boggs and a top-notch bullpen.
Still, nobody knew what to expect in the crucial game five match-up, the last game to ever be played at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. The Yankees sought to continue their newfound momentum after being manhandled by the Braves in the first two games of the series, and sent their ace, Andy Pettitte, to the hill.
