The Most Memorable Game In Baseball History

One of the most unforgettable, craziest nights in baseball history took place over 23 years ago and many fans still remember it. Red Sox fans probably to this day want to just forget about it while Mets fans keep the great memories alive I am sure.

The 1986 World Series was between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox. Both of them were the top teams in their leagues so it would surely be a fantastic 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.

It was a good thing for the Mets that their luck changed for the better and they won the next two games to bring the series to a tie. But, the fifth game was won by the Red Sox, who now had the possibility of closing the series out with a win in the sixth game.

This is what it appeared was going to happen when the Red Sox were leading by two runs and the game was in the bottom of the 9th with no Mets players on any of the bases. Everyone assumed the game was nearly over and the celebration had almost begun.

Then, the Mets managed to get some base hits a few times after they only had one strike left. It wasn’t too long before there was a wild pitch and one runner scored, which then brought this game to a tie. The crowd was going crazy because they knew that history was being made at that moment.

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.

Many baseball fans will still claim to this day that this was the best baseball game ever played. Based on the way this all happened, they may very well be right.
