1999 Yankees Diary, July 23: Jeter's walk-off saves the day
Briefly

This specific Cleveland team was one of the best in the league for a reason. They became the first team since 1950 to score 1,000 runs.
Richie Sexson hit a line-drive single to left field and advanced to second via an error on the left fielder Ricky Ledée.
And even though Jeter struck out swinging against knuckleballer Tom Candiotti, Paul O'Neill in the three-spot finished the job, smacking a two-run home run to deep right field and put the Yankees up 2-0 in the bottom of the first.
