It has been more than 23 years since that famous baseball game that the fans of the Mets will never forget and the fans of the Red Sox would like to forget. This game will never be forgotten and it was a crazy night in baseball history.
The New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox met in a World Series during the 1986 baseball season. Both had been the best teams in their respective leagues, and the stage was set for a great series.
It really surprised a lot of people when the Red Sox came away with the win during games one and two that took place in New York. For the Mets, along with their fans, this was a real downer.
Fortunately, the team’s fortunes turned during the next few games and the Mets evened the series before falling behind by a 3 games to 2 count. Game 6 would give the Red Sox a chance to close out the series in Queens.
It seemed like that was destined to happen. It was the bottom of the 9th with the Red Sox in the lead by 2 runs and the Mets did not have any of their players on any of the bases. Everyone was ready to celebrate and thought this game was pretty much over and done with.
Somehow, the Mets kept the game alive with a few base hits after being down to their last strike on several occasions. Before long, a wild pitch sent a runner home, tying up the game. The crowd was uproarious; this was history in the making.
Then, something very unexpected happened next. The first base line is where Mookie Wilson hit a dribbler to and it should have been a super-easy out and the end of the game. However, the ball traveled right through Bill Buckner’s legs which resulted in a run being scored by Ray Knight and the Mets getting the win.
After winning the sixth game, the Mets then also won the seventh game of that World Series. It was truly one of the greatest and quite memorable games that was ever played in professional baseball history.
There are lots of fans of baseball who firmly believe that this game was the greatest one to ever be played in baseball. And, looking back on how it all came to be, you can’t really argue that, can you?
