In this post, we will look at some of the greatest moments of Keith Hernandez, who played for 17 seasons mostly for the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets. In Hernandez’s storied career he accomplished the following:
- 5× All-Star (1979, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1987)
- 2× World Series champion (1982, 1986)
- NL MVP (1979)
- 11× Gold Glove Award (1978–1988)
- 2× Silver Slugger Award (1980, 1984)
- NL batting champion (1979)
- St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame
- New York Mets No. 17 retired
- New York Mets Hall of Fame
In addition, many consider Hernandez to be the best defensive first baseman of all time. As a long time color commentator for New York Mets broadcasts, we take this time to celebrate some of the key moments in Hernandez’s career.
1982 Game 7 World Series – Hernandez smacks a two-run single to tie the game for the St. Louis Cardinals, which led to them eventually winning the series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
1986 Game 7 World Series – Hernandez hits two-run single to bring the Mets back in the game to make it 3-2 on their way to eventually winning the game and the World Series against the Red Sox.
Finally, we give you Keith on Seinfeld
