1978: Manning his position at third base, Graig Nettles puts on a fielding clinic and prevents an estimated seven runs as the Yankees beat the Dodgers 5-1 in Game 3 of the World Series. Nettles makes four spectacular stops and gives the Yankees their first victory of the October Classic.

1996: Powered by three home runs in the 3rd inning and eight strong innings from Andy Pettitte, the Yankees win their 34th AL pennant with a 6-4 victory over Baltimore. The Yankees take the ALCS 4 games to 1, and will go to the World Series for the first time since 1981.

2012: In Game 1 of the ALCS, Raul Ibanez hits a homer to cap a game-tying four-run outburst against Tigers' closer Jose Valverde in the 9th inning, but Detroit manage to overcome the psychological blow to win 6-4 in 12 innings. Derek Jeter collects the 200th postseason hit of his career in the game ~ second place on the all-time list is held by his long-time teammate Bernie Williams with 128 ~ but he then suffers a broken ankle while fielding a ground ball in the 12th, putting him out for the rest of the postseason.
