My Take
What I admire about Ray Knight is that he made a career out of stepping into impossible shoes. Replacing Pete Rose at third base for the Reds was a thankless assignment, yet he carved out his own identity rather than living in a shadow. For me, though, his defining moment is scoring the winning run in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, one of baseball's most chaotic and beloved finishes. Knight strikes me as the kind of player who showed up when it mattered most. Quiet competence under pressure is underrated, and he had it in abundance.
