Mets’ run to 2024 NLCS is filled with unforgettable moments

The improbability of the Mets’ most improbable runs has reached the point where historical moments — those that occurred just days or weeks earlier — already have company.

There was Francisco Lindor in the ninth inning of the doubleheader opener on September 30, his two-run homer stealing a win from the Braves and clinching a spot in the top spot in October. That will forever be one of the most important home runs in franchise history.

But then there was Lindor again on Wednesday night, in the sixth, who drove Carlos Estévez’s pitch 390 feet and watched as he sailed over the right-center field fence of Citi Field — along with a sold-out crowd of 44,103 — for a grand slam who was the winner. Mets to a series victory 4-1 in Game 4 of the NLDS. That’s not exactly an afterthought on Lindor’s decorated resume.

Somehow, this Mets run continues to reach new ethers of crazy, magical, unexpected, any adjective – and there are plenty – and most accurately reflects 13 wins since the start of their last homestand in the regular season and five since the bright spotlight of the postseason. trained in a team that wasn’t supposed to be here at all.
