So they go through the pickle but when Posada runs him back to 3rd... no ones covering home plate! Posada doesn't realize this until Cust is already half way back to home so he's going to score eaisly with no one for A-Rod to throw to... but a foot from home... just fell down again! He tried to crawl to the plate but A-Rod just tagged him on the ground before that and the Yankees won.

It was one of the craziest finishes I've ever seen and I would think the Yankees... especially a smart player like Bernie to always make an attempt because anything can happen.
Now that you went through it I do remember it vaguely, more than I did when you first mentioned it. Does sound really crazy though.

But I guess we'll never know. It would be cool for a scientist or something to do research into it and try out experiements and projections and what not.
