The scales are balanced
Jeter got a homer he didn’t deserve thanks to Jeffrey Maier.

So much melancholy in this clip
The late Dave Niehaus at the height of his powers making the call. The now-retired Cammie at the height of his, making the catch. The Mariners, just before the height of theirs, with no hint yet of the long painful decline to where they are now. Safeco, still with that new-stadium smell, full to the rafters with actual Mariners fans for a game against the Yankees (rather than more than half-full of bandwagon Yankees fans).
But hey, Jeter gets robbed, for a little sweet in all the bitter.

I love
how Cameron just nonchalants it, like he does that every day.

This is about as well:
As a baseball game can be called. We miss you, Dave.

I saw Cameron do the almost the exact same thing a few years later...
…at Safeco vs. the Twins. I don’t remember the batter, but I bet he was sorely disappointed. I’ve never seen anybody else who could run hard to the fence then jump to get the ball as well as Cameron.
An underrated player whose best years were outstanding, the fact that he replaced Griffey Jr. in Seattle with such grace after their oddly lopsided trade for each other was amazing in itself. After the first year in 2000, when Junior was Junior and Cameron was solid, it was all Cameron. That trade helped Pat Gillick get in to the Hall of Fame

Good on that fan in the gray hoodie for recognizing the situation and pulling back.
