In game five of the 1995 ALDS, the Yankees scored the lead-taking run in the top of the 11th inning, but Edgar Martinez, with two runners on base, hit a double scoring Joey Cora to tie followed by Ken Griffey Jr. who beat the throw from the outfield to win the game 6-5.

2. In the 1996 ALCS, who hit a controversial home run which led the Yankees to a game one victory against the Orioles?

4. Who was named the MVP of the 1996 World Series?

In the series, John Wetteland gave up just one run while saving all four of the games won by the Yankees. He also struck out six batters in four and one-third innings pitched, and his pitching numbers earned him the series MVP award.
