Now if the right call had been made, or the kid didn't stick his glove out, not a great deal of change would have differed immediately as a result. Remember the Orioles win Game 2, but get their asses kicked in the next three, Yanks win series 4-1.
As the final results of that series show, the '96 Yankees were vastly superior to the Orioles. The better team won the series (and the World Series).
Of course, with the advent of instant replay, many of these issues - that is to say, bad calls - are being minimized, at least for HR calls.
