The Braves didn’t make too many memorable moments in a rough 2016 season, but perhaps the best play occurred exactly one year ago.
With the Braves leading 4-3 in Queens, Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes appeared to hammer a walk-off three run homer. But the Gold Glove outfielder Ender Inciarte had different plans.
The #GameEnder, as it's coined, was also relevant in the standings. The Mets were locked in a tight wild card race at the time. They'd go on to win a spot but lose the one-game playoff to Madison Bumgarner and the Giants.
Since then, Inciarte has gotten even better. He was on pace for the seventh 200-hit season in Braves history, though a recent injury may prevent him from history. Regardless, Inciarte has cemented himself as a cornerstone in the Braves' outfield.
