"I have been with other teams and now I understand what George (Steinbrenner) does and what Joe (Torry) does. I know that you are just one of 25 guys. When I was here before, I never understood that. Joe told me I was going to get my playing time but that they brought me over here for one reason and that was to win. Whatever I can do, I am excited about what it is." - Leyritz, Jim.

During Game 4 of the 1996 World Series, television announcer Jack Buck said, "In the air to left field... back, at the track, at the wall, we are tied!" The Yankees were trailing the Atlanta Braves two games to one during the Fall Classic, and had been losing that game 0-6 after five innings. The put up three runs in the sixth, making it interesting, and setting the stage for some postseason heroics by Jim Leyritz, who delivered the game-tying home run. The Yanks won in the tenth frame, won Game 5, then clinched the championship two days later!

1996 World Series | Game 4 | 24 October 1996 | Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium

Leyritz was traded in the off-season, took the field with four different teams, and returned to the Bronx Bombers in 1999. During Game 4 (again) of the 1999 World Series, television announcer Bob Costas said, "You could send this guy to a resort in the spring and summer, as long as he comes back in October." Why? Leyritz had just hit another home run, extending the score 41, and helping the Yankees complete a sweep of the Braves.
