“#Endy Chavez has the most bittersweet play in Mets history<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Game<\/a> 7 of the 2006 NLCS ended in misery for the Mets, but not before Endy Chavez came up with one of the best catches in team history.<\/p>\n

The Mets and Cardinals were tied at 1-1 in the top of the sixth at Shea Stadium, when Oliver Perez walked Jim Edmonds with one out to bring up Scott Rolen.<\/p>\n

Rolen then crushed the first pitch he saw from the left-hander to deep left field, where Chavez raced back to the wall, leaped and caught it with his arm extending well over the fence.<\/p>\n

Chavez landed, looked at his glove and fired the ball to second baseman Jose Valentin, who fired to first, where Carlos Delgado completed the double play.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as I saw the ball hit to left field, I knew it was going to be by the fence, or it\u2019s gone,\u201d Chavez told The Post last year. \u201cMy reaction was to get to the fence as quickly as I can. The ball kind of beat me, and I thought, \u2018Oh no, I can\u2019t get to the fence faster than the baseball,\u2019 so on my way to the fence I just tried to time it and make a jump so I can try to catch it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

It worked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did everything to get to that point and put my glove out there on time, and the ball came in my glove,\u2019\u2019 Chavez said. \u201cAt that point, with the contact with the fence, and the contact with the ball and my glove, my glove almost fell off. I tried to grip it, but I thought I threw the ball in the air, and I thought, \u2018At least it\u2019s not a homer,\u2019 and then I saw it in my glove, and I was like, \u2018Well, it\u2019s here.\u2019\u200a\u201d<\/p>\n

The play kept the game tied and the Mets loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the inning, but came up empty.<\/p>\n

Then in the ninth, Yadier Molina hit a two-run homer to left off Aaron Heilman that Chavez could only watch go over the fence in left.<\/p>\n

Still, the Mets weren\u2019t done, as they filled the bases again in the bottom of the ninth. With two outs, Carlos Beltran took a called strike three on an Adam Wainwright changeup to end the game \u2014 and the Mets\u2019 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed destiny was on our side,\u201d Mets closer Billy Wagner said of the catch after the game. \u201cBut it is a cruel sport sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mets finally made it back to the World Series<\/a> in 2015, when they lost to the Royals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always joke that I made a lot of good catches, but that was the famous one,\u201d Chavez said last year. \u201cI joke with my teammates and my friends \u2014 all it takes to be famous in the majors is one catch. That year, I hit .300 for the first time in my career and nobody talked about it. It\u2019s just the catch.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
