It only takes one play.
Endy Chavez the architect behind one of the most iconic catches in Mets history, became one of the most beloved figures ever to play for the Mets when he robbed St. Louis’ Scott Rolen of a two-run home run in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS.
The catch now resides in the memories of nostalgic Mets fans, who revisit it from time to time to return to more joyful occasions. An under-the-radar player before, Chavez etched his place in New York history with one miraculous leap.
“I always joke that I made a lot of good catches, but that was the famous one,” Chavez told The Post.
