Some players in New York Mets history managed to become notorious for one single great moment. Endy Chavez comes to mind. His amazing catch in the 2006 NLCS is legendary in the minds of Mets fans.
A similar sentiment could be said about Mike Baxter whose catch in Johan Santana’s no-hitter made him a guy we would never forget.
Unfortunately, there are some players in Mets history who are best known for one single bad moment despite having years of success. From all-time greats to just productive, these good Mets are unfortunately best remembered for coming up short when the team needed the most.
