Shea Stadium. Oct. 28, 1986. Red Sox vs. Mets, World Series, Game 6. Red Sox up three games to two, and lead 5-3 with two out in the bottom of the 10th. Boston fans anxiously await their first World Series title since 1918. Then, disaster: three Mets singles and a Bob Stanley wild pitch tie the game at 5-5. Mookie Wilson hits a soft grounder to Bill Buckner at first, and the ball goes through his legs, allowing Ray Knight to score the winning run. "I can't remember the last time I missed a ground ball," said Buckner. "I guess I'll remember that one." So will Boston fans. The Mets went on to win Game 7 and the Series, and Red Sox rooters are still reeling ... and waiting
Hey I am really pulling for the Sox, being a Cub fan I totally sympathize with ya, but history has a cruel way of repeating itself sometimes. Any Sox fan that is getting their hopes too high just remember the 2 worst words for any Red Sox fan -- Bucky 'f*cking' Dent! (okay technically thats 3, but you get the idea)
