Chris Chambliss

Set to lead off the bottom of ninth in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series with the score tied, 6-6, New York Yankees slugger Chris Chambliss had an opportunity to end the game and series with one swing of the bat. Chambliss connected on the first pitch he saw and sent it over the right-field wall for a walk-off homer. The 56,821 fans at Yankee Stadium stormed the field before Chris reached home, celebrating the Yankees first AL pennant in 12 years.
