Ray Knight is an American former infielder best remembered for his time with the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Mets in Major League Baseball. The Reds drafted him in the 10th round of 1970, and he is remembered by Reds fans as the man who replaced Pete Rose at third base. Mets fans remember him for scoring the winning run of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, hitting a go-ahead home run in Game 7, and being named the most valuable player of that series. He later worked as a studio analyst and occasional game analyst for the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network's coverage of the Washington Nationals from 2007 to 2018.
