About Ray Knight
After two full seasons at Indianapolis, Knight returned to Cincinnati in 1977 and batted .261 in 80 games. His rookie card was 1978 Topps #674. During his final Indianapolis season, he borrowed George Foster's bat and hit 9 home runs in the last month after entering it with one.
Ray Knight played the corner infield positions for Cincinnati, Houston, the New York Mets, Baltimore and Detroit. The Reds selected the Albany, Georgia, high-school player in the 10th round of the 1970 draft. Knight reached two All-Star Games and collected 1,311 major league hits. With the 1986 Mets, he scored the winning run in World Series Game 6 when Mookie Wilson's grounder went through Bill Buckner's legs. His seventh-inning home run broke a 3-3 tie in Game 7, and he earned Series MVP honors after batting .391. Knight later managed Cincinnati in 1996 and 1997 and worked as a television baseball analyst. He married professional golfer Nancy Lopez in 1982 and sometimes caddied for her.
