Mine is the famous (at least for Mets fans) Robin Ventura grand slam single in NLCS game 5 in 1999. Braves won first 3, Mets win game 4. Then game 5
went 14 inns. Braves score 1 in top of 14th and Dunston leads off for Mets with a 14(?) pitch at bat that results in a lead off single. Mets tie it, bases loaded, and Ventura hits one over the fence, but a base running snafu with Ventura passing an on base runner results in it being called a single and Mets win only to have the infamous Kenny Rogers walk home the winning run in game 6.
