This cracks me up.. in the first shot you can clearly see the umpire signaling fair ball. Yet, somehow Jeter is flying into the stands. Either he dove, caught the ball in fair territory, then continued to fly 20 feet into the stands… or… he caught the ball.. ran another 5 steps then decided rather than stopping he’d run and jump into the stands face first without trying to break his fall. I mean he literally ran into the wall padding without realizing it which caused him to basically trip and fly face first into the stands. I’ve seen that same catch by the short stop many times and they never run into the stands…
I agree it was a clutch catch in a big situation, however I saw it live and thought the running into the stands part made him look like a moron.
