"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On this day 15 years ago, Derek Jeter made one of the most iconic and clutch plays of his career as he found himself way out of his regular spot at shortstop to flip a failed cut-off throw over to Jorge Posada and tag Jeremy Giambi out for the final out of the inning.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Oakland Athletics led the American League Division Series 2\u20131 as the Yankees faced elimination on the road. With a 1\u20130 lead and Mike Mussina on the mound in the seventh inning with two outs and Giambi on first after single.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Terrence Long lined the ball down the line into right field before being retrieved by Shane Spencer. The outfielder's throw missed Yankee infielders Tino Martinez and Alfonso Soriano&amp;nbsp;before then-A's third base coach Ron Washington waved Giambi&amp;nbsp;home. To his dismay, Jeter was just feet away from home plate and redirected Spencer's throw with a bare-handed flip to Posada.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Watch the incredible play below:&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Umpire Kerwin Danley&amp;nbsp;called&amp;nbsp;Giambi&amp;nbsp;out and the Yankees celebrated.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;SI&amp;nbsp;VAULT: Kalamazoo Kid: Jeter still carries a torch for his home city&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt was my job to read the play,\u201D Jeter told reporters after the game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Yankees went on to win the game and the series.
