After Endy Chavez’s remarkable catch in the previous year’s NLCS, Shea was still in love with the outfielder with the great glove and the the ability to leap tall fences in a single bound. I was at this game, watching Orlando Hernandez shut out the Rockies for seven innings. The game remained scoreless into the 10th when rookie Troy Tulowizki tripled home the first run of the game. Damion Easley answered the call, homering with two outs in the bottom of the 10th to tie the game. In the 12th inning, Shawn Green walked, was sacrificed to second, and was balked to third. With two outs, Endy stunned the crowd—and the Rockies—with a drag bunt to beat the band and win the game.
