My Take
For me, Endy Chávez is proof that one moment can outlast a thousand box scores. His leaping, home-run-robbing catch in the 2006 playoffs is the kind of play that gets replayed forever, and it tells you exactly what kind of player he was: a glove-and-legs craftsman rather than a slugger. Bouncing through seven big-league clubs, he made a long career out of doing the unglamorous things well. I have a soft spot for outfielders like this, the ones who win games with defense and instinct. The fact that his younger brother Ender also played speaks to a family steeped in the game.
