Curtis Granderson’s catch joins legends — and doesn’t matter

You think of Endy Chavez, Ron Swoboda and Tommie Agee.

And now when you consider great postseason catches in Mets history, you’ll think of Curtis Granderson.

With the game nail-bitingly scoreless, Granderson kept it that way to end the sixth inning when he turned, raced back, ran farther still and made an outstretched grab and then crashed into the center-field wall to rob Giants first baseman Brandon Belt of extra bases and an RBI.

The great play may merely be a footnote in the wake of the Mets’ 3-0 wild-card loss to Madison Bumgarner and a three-run, ninth-inning homer by Conor Gillaspie off Jeurys Familia.
