1. Chavez’s Catch Marker
Endy Chavez leaped high above Shea’s 8-foot wall in left field to rob a two-run home run and preserve a sixth-inning tie with St. Louis. Chavez caught the ball in the tip of his glove and threw to the infield for an inning-ending double play to complete one of the most memorable defensive plays in postseason history.
Net proceeds of Citi Field Fanwalk bricks have been donated to the Mets Foundation, which supports area charities and causes.
