While not an everyday player, CHAD CURTIS was nevertheless a valuable part of the Yankee successes of the late 90s. He started Game 3 of the 1999 World Series and went on to hit two home runs, including the game-winning home run in the tenth inning off Mike Remlinger of the Atlanta Braves at Yankee Stadium, which all but clinched their third World Series championship in four years.
