Now, baseball fans know the flip side of the 1986 World Series.
October 25, 1986. Game 6 - New York Mets and Boston Red Sox. 55,078 baseball fans rocking Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens. History is in the making. The hometown Mets are down to their last strike in the 10th inning.
Mookie Wilson hits a Bob Stanley pitch down the first base line. All appears routine. As soon as Boston first baseman Bill Buckner scoops the ball up and tags the bag, the Red Sox will have won their first Series in 68 years; dating back to 1918.
The ball goes under the very capable veteran's mitt, through his legs into right field, and there will be a Game 7.
