[edit] Biographical Information

If he is remembered at all, most fans' memory of Batiste is his play in Game 1 of the 1993 NLCS. He entered the game as a defensive replacement at 3B in the 9th inning, with the underdog Phillies clinging to a 3-2 lead over Atlanta. He promptly threw the ball into rightfield on what should have been an easy double play grounder, allowing the Braves to push across the tying run. But he redeemed himself by driving in the winning run in the bottom of the tenth. He played in the minors and independent leagues for several years after his last big league appearance in 1996.
