On October 26, 1996, John Wetteland delivered a 3-2 pitch to Mark Lemke, who popped it up into foul territory on the third base side. Third baseman Charlie Hayes, who had replaced Wade Boggs for defense in the seventh, ranged to his right and, just a few feet from the wall, caught the ball for the third out of the inning — and the final out of the 1996 World Series.
