The game's title is derived from the final play of the 1995 American League Division Series featuring the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees. On a play that is sometimes credited with "saving baseball in Seattle," Griffey scored the game's winning run all the way from first base, on a close play in the bottom of the 11th inning.[2]
Due to the lack of a Major League Baseball Players' Association license, Griffey is the only player in the game to use his actual name.
