“Man, they need to sign him up!”Bob Uecker noted that Maier had actually just deflected the ball into the stands. He never did get that Yankees contract, but he did meet Jeter the next year and got a signed ball. Maier went on to play third base and the outfield at Wesleyan, where he set the university’s career hits record in 2006. Now Maier runs the sales team for media and entertainment at Fastly, an edge cloud provider based in San Francisco. Maier fretted about Severino, who left after four innings because Manager Joe Girardi feared a shoulder problem.
