Remember the time that all that stood between Billy Traber and a perfect game against the eventual pennant-winning Yankees was a third inning John Flaherty single? It was undoubtedly the highlight of Traber’s career and probably the best thing that came out of the Indians/Mets Robbie Alomar swap for either side. The presence of Enrique Wilson, Todd Zeile, Ruben Sierra, Karim Garcia, and some shortstop named Almonte filling in for Derek Jeter (who flied out as a pinch-hitter in the ninth) suggest this wasn’t the Yankees’ A-team, but no matter.
