This Day in Baseball History

On this day in 1995...

The New York Yankees' Paul O'Neill went 4-4 in a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Indians. O'Neill homered in his first at bat and a scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning on a play in which he tripled and reached home on a throwing error by pitcher Dennis Martinez. The win brought the Yankees within two games of the American Leauge Wild Card lead, a title they would later claim to reach the playoffs.
