On the good side, you have Otis Nixon (The Catch), Sid Bream (The Slide) and Francisco Cabrera (the single that led to the slide). Even David Justice to an extent is remembered largely for his home run in Game 5 of the 1995 World Series, though he had numerous big moments both before and after that.
