Yankees Erase 9-Run Deficit vs. Rangers

May 16, 2006 - A forgotten classic from 2006, when the Yankees quickly find themselves down 9-0 and then 10-1, only to mount a insurmountable comeback featuring stellar performances by Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada, with Posada coming out the hero of this game after surviving a nasty collision at the plate with superstar Mark Teixeira.

[@Stormcloudxa1]

It feels so weird seeing Tex playing *against* us lol.

[@generatorx]

Stranger still, Tex was with the Yankees when they came from a 9-0 deficit to beat Boston 15-9.

[@lookingforfalse4082]

@@generatorx yeah and he put on a hitting clinic that day too

[@jaydenmedina8684]

the scoreboard layout yes used to use until 2009 gives me nostalgia lol

[@Roareyknocks]

It was the best one! Why would they get rid of it? :(

[@somebodyssomethin]

My dad and I were sitting in the loge on the third base side at this game. I was 12 years old. He and I probably went to about 100 games when I was a kid and this one will always be my favorite. I’ll never forget hearing thousands of voices yelling “Hip hip, Jorge!” as we walked out through the corridors. Man I miss that old stadium.

[@billny33]

Did you ever think about leaving the game early? You must have been so glad you didn't. I'm sure you saw many who did.

[@somebodyssomethin]

My dad was pretty adamant about never leaving a game early. He always told me this story about a game that he missed a great comeback because his friends wanted to leave to head into Manhattan and go shopping. I don’t think he ever left a game early after that. He was as die hard as they come. But you’re right, a lot of people left early that game.

Tex blasted posada at the plate. Posada was one tough 🍪

For real

[@vladiator8120]

I remember this game like yesterday. I was a Senior in High School, I lost my virginity that same night with my then girlfriend. The Yankees were getting pummeled 10-3 early and I told myself, meh, it will be one of those games I guess. I left the house to go to her house which was only a 5 minute walk. After finishing my romantic endeavors I walked back home, first thing I see walking back to my room is Jeter's 3 run bomb to make it 10-8. Then the come back was complete later that night. Memories....

[@nakkesha]

I was at this game and I remember it being the most nerve wrecking and exciting game ever

[@nikolasantonas4647]

My first ever Yankees game. Hooked ever since ❤ I was there with my Yankees-from-birth cousins, and I remember the boos in the 2nd. People leaving when we were 9-0, but there was no chance we were going anywhere for the next four hours. Simply amazing, and I got three fantastic photos of Posada's walk-off.

[@mystro810]

Jim Kaat is my favorite broadcaster ever and its easy to see why

These were real champs , not like current washed down version

Can’t even claim the title of the empire anymore. Yankees are a shadow of what they used to be.

[@jeancarlosberasgoico8445]

Texas had some really good players. Shocked they didn't go deeper into the playoffs until 2010. Shows you in Baseball it takes more than just a couple guys to build a championship roster

[@lookingforfalse4082]

They never had any pitching

[@daddyskaddy94]

This was my favorite childhood game. Thanks for posting ! Although Sterling's call would've been really nostalgic. Whoever was calling this game was horrendously boring.

[@MidnightTokenFloydChatAccount]

sounds like Ken Singleton and Jim Kaat???

[@greggately5782]

Jim Kaat was decent at calling the games (I watched every single game back in the day and he was the man for a while on the YES network), not sure the hate there; though, I will say Michael Kay is better and brings a lot of energy when making calls on big hits/plays.

[@bkrzykalski7732]

We were sitting next to DJ’s GF in Box 1 behind HP. At the time $115 for a tix seemed to much to get up & leave. What a treat as a result. Best sport in the world because until recently had no clocks. ⚾️🔥 My pregnant wife answered a trivia math related question (aided by hubby) easy for an accountant diehard Yankee fan Gehrig times Mantle minus DiMaggio equals? Mattingly, which was our 2nd choice for a name of my princess that was born 9 exact months to the day.

[@Surfer041]

These mid 2000 teams had atrocious starting pitching. No wonder they got bounced in the first round year after year.

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

I watched this game.

[@user-rg2yx4mc1y]

Posada always legend

[@ReMiiX-]

Never seen an infield move so swiftly at 15:03 Arod comes in for the bunt leaving 3rd open so posada and jeter are both running over to cover the bag. Im thinking of all the clips of base runners taking advantage of the shift

[@CrowT23]

Chacon was a good pitcher for the Yankees until this game

[@baseballcinema]

Yeah, he went on the DL right after this game and was never the same again.

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

He was okay in 2005 in 2006 wasnt consistent after that and not a solid.

[@hmhm856]

i remember Chacon and Wang along with Mariano were the reasons the pitching staff held its own in 2005

[@Servant_of_Yeshua_]

Starting rotation from 05 to 08 was mediocre for the yankees...

An outfield of Cabrera Damon and Old Bernie is 🤢

[@greggately5782]

Better than the current outfield we have now. At least these guys could produce runs.
