2001 ALDS Game 3.
"The Flip"

Best Defensive play, as great as you'll ever see, at least by a SS!

Spencer's throw missed both cut off men, (Soriano/Tino). Had Jeter not have been in the right place at the right time, Giambi would have scored and tied the game at
1-1. Instead the Yanx won 1 to Nothing.

Had Spencer's throw hit either cut off men; then Giambi would have been out by 10 ft.

Yankees were down two games to nothing; in the best-of-five series and up by 1 run late in the game, i.e. bottom of the 7th.

What was the Greatest Defensive play ever, that you can recall, by any player at any time?

Jeters play in that game was a surefire saver. Now go to game 3 '78 World Series, Yankees down 0-2 and Mr. Nettles stepped up with a series of plays. Guidry was not his '78 sharp that game but the plays Nettles made that day saved both Gator and the Yankees asses. Was there ever a better 3rd Baseman than Nettles, not in my book. And yes Jeter is my all time Yankee SS.

Indeed.
I almost posted this last night. Nettles put on a clinic in the 78 WS, and like you said Game 3, he saved the day.

I heard a George Brett interview speaking of those '76 -'78 Yankee/Royals teams played on gas tanks at both ball parks, I was in Germany during the '76 Playoffs but did catch highlights to include the Chambliss Bomb. Back in the States for the '77 Series which was more intense but that '78 was the best.
