Perez deals. Fastball hit in the air to left field, that’s deep.
Back goes Chavez, back near the wall, leaping … and …
HE MADE THE CATCH!
HE TOOK A HOME RUN AWAY FROM ROLEN!
TRYING TO GET BACK TO FIRST, EDMONDS.
HE’S DOUBLED OFF
AND THE INNING IS OVER!
A moment later, the masterstroke:
Endy Chavez saved the day!
He reached high up over the left field wall,
right in front of the Mets-–visitor’s bullpen,
and pulled back a two-run homer!
He went to the apex of his leap,
and caught it in the webbing of his glove,
with his elbow up above the fence.
A miraculous play by Endy Chavez!
...
The play of the year,
the play, maybe, of the franchise history.
