What happened: Derek Jeter joined Harold in Studio 42 in January 2020 after Hall of Fame election to break down the flip play. The session focused on his cutoff of an outfield throw to record an out at home.

Why it matters: The cutoff preserved a 1-0 postseason victory 25 years ago. The moment endures as a defining shortstop defensive standard in October baseball.

What to watch: Anniversary coverage continues around past postseason turning points through October.
