NEW YORK — Every October legend needs a legendary October moment. For Francisco Lindor, this was that moment.
It’s amazing to try to comprehend what one swing of the bat can do — the stories it can write, the memories it can make, the reputations it can seal. But we saw all of that happen Wednesday night at Citi Field.

We saw Lindor send a baseball floating through the Queens sky. And when it came down, nothing would be the same.
There would be no NLDS Game 5 on Friday in Philadelphia, because Lindor’s grandstand-rattling sixth-inning grand slam was going to finish off this series, by providing all four runs in a 4-1 Mets win for the ages.
