The Kind Of Story That Gets Bob Costas’ Juices Flowing . . . Eww!

Jeffrey Maier, who as a 12-year-old basically helped the Yankees defeat the Orioles in a critical World Series game and is now a college ball player himself, may be drafted by the Orioles in a stunning turn of events:

Once upon an unforgettable, improbable playoff moment at Yankee Stadium, a precocious angel in the outfield bedeviled the visiting team from Baltimore.

Now that same team is thinking of drafting said angel — all grown up and fresh off setting his college’s single-season hit record.

Jeffrey Maier an Oriole? The very thought makes furious “Bawlmer” fans fulminate.

But not Peter Angelos.

“I wouldn’t be opposed to drafting Maier,” the Orioles’ unpredictable owner said yesterday on the eve of Major League Baseball’s annual first-year player draft.

“Sure we’d take him. In fact, I like the idea more and more the more I think about it.”

Meier is saying little.

“I’m waiting anxiously for the draft next week,” he told The Post.
