I watched Jim Leyritz hit that big, big homerun - probably one of the biggest homeruns I've ever seen -- against the Atlanta Braves in game 4 of the 1996 World Series. The Yankees were trailing the series 2-1 and Leyritz's 3-run homerun pretty much resurrected the team, helping them win their first series since 1978. I've heard Leyritz speak about that moment since then and he definitely believes that was the defining moment of his career.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the defining moment of his life as today he was charged with DUI manslaughter after killing a woman while driving his car under the influence. My thoughts and praying go out to the family of the woman who was killed.
God sure is humbling.
