Mets Entries in the 50 Greatest NLCS Moments
Over on ESPN.com they have posted their 50 greatest moments in LCS history. The Mets are represented nicely.
- Number 50 is Gary Carter’s home run in game 5 in 1986.
- Number 34 is Endy Chavez‘s stealing a home run from Scott Rolen in game 7 in 2006.
- Number 32 is the infamous Bud Harrelson vs. Pete Rose fight in game 3 in 1973.
- Number 31 is Len Dykstra’s wlak off homer in game 3 in 1986.
- Number 9 is Robin Ventura’s 12th inning game 5 grand slam in 1999.
- Number 6 (and number 1 in my heart) is the 16th inning of game 6 in 1986. I think Jesse Orosco’s glove is still stuck in the rafters of the Astrodome.
It’s no all good news for the Mets. Also included are Mike Scioscia’s homer against Dwight Gooden and Kirk Gibson’s 12th inning game winner (both in game 4 in 1988) at numbers 27 & 26 respectively as well as well as Kenny Rogers walking in the series winning run in game 6 in 1999.
