The Carter HR gets him this. He was a guy who built his reputation on being a clutch hitter and RBI producer, and on the biggest stage, at the biggest moment - he delivered.
That home run will be replayed for decades, as one of the biggest moments in MLB history.
Can't not give it to him. If he was a bit player that hit that HR - then yes. But in this case he was a pretty great player, and that puts him over the top.
