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.
Brewers 4, Cubs 2: Raising Cain
Share this story
One thing is for certain for the 2021 Chicago Cubs.
They are not going to win many games if they don’t start hitting.
Eight hits in three games, seven total runs, somehow the Cubs managed to win one of those games, but that sort of thing isn’t going to work all season.
The Cubs have only 20 hits in the six games so far this year. Even the Mets have more and they’ve played three fewer games, for heaven’s sake.
Anyway, the Cubs generally got good pitching on a day that felt more like June than April at Wrigley Field, except when it came to Brewers center fielder Lorenzo Cain, who homered in consecutive at-bats in the eighth and 10th, the latter with two runners on base to give Milwaukee the win.

ST. GEORGE, Utah â Before he pitched in the big leagues, Bruce Hurst had deep ties to whatâs now called Dixie State University.
âI am in favor of change,â Hurst said in an interview with FOX 13.
âI am of the opinion that the name does have some negative ramifications or connotations with it that reach farther than Washington County and St. George and I think itâs important that we create an environment that is welcoming to all â that doesnât offend.â
Hurst was an All-Star for the Red Sox and also pitched for the San Diego Padres, Colorado Rockies and Texas Rangers. Dixie Stateâs baseball stadium is named for Hurst and a statue of the school star featuring his lefthanded follow-through stands outside the ballpark.
