Jeremy Giambi Compares Derek Jeter Flip Play to Minneapolis Miracle

Former A's outfielder and designated hitter Jeremy Giambi doesn't exactly have the longest career highlight reel, but he is prominently featured in one of the greatest plays of Derek Jeter's career.

Giambi and the A's held a 2–0 lead in the 2001 ALDS as they headed back to Oakland looking to sweep New York. And in the seventh inning, the A's had a chance to tie Game 3 at 1-1 with Giambi standing on first base with two outs. What ensued is a play Giambi would like to forget.

Terrence Long ripped a double down the right field line, sending Giambi in motion looking to tie the game.
