 | The best known of Jim Leyritz's playoff heroics occurred in Game 4 of the 1996 World Series against the Atlanta Braves at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. The Yankees had lost the first two games of the series at home- and narrowly won Game 3 in Atlanta. Game 4 appeared to be going to the Braves- who led 6-0 after 5 innings. The Yankees rallied for 3 runs in the 6th- setting the stage for Leyritz in the 8th inning. Leyritz stepped up with one out and two men on base and hit a three-run home run to left field to tie the game and cap the improbable Yankee comeback. The home run was hit against Atlanta closer Mark Wohlers and the Yankees eventually won the game 8+óGé¼GÇ£6 in 10 innings. Leyritz's Game 4 home run remains the most recognizable moment of that series and of his career. This baseball is signed by Jim Leyritz.
