10-year Marliniversary: Marlins eliminate Mets from playoff contention on Gaby Sanchez’s late homer

Mention those who appeared in All-Star games for the Florida/Miami Marlins and the first name to come to mind probably isn’t Gaby Sanchez.

Sanchez was Florida’s lone representative in 2011, but his best statistical season was actually the year prior. During what would be a career year for Sanchez, the rookie and University of Miami product had a number of big hits. One of those came on this day 10 years ago.

On what would be the first game of a short two-game set against the New York Mets on Sept. 21, 2010, Sanchez delivered the big blow.
