New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles (1996)
In game one in the 1996 American League Championship Series, 12-year-old Yankee fan Jeffrey Maier reached out and caught a fly ball intended for Orioles right fielder Tony Tarasco. Umpire Rich Garcia signaled a home run for Yankee rookie Derek Jeter, but "upon seeing a replay after the game, Garcia admitted he had been wrong in awarding Jeter a homer," MLB.com writes.
