1986 Mets World Series Champs - Mookie Wilson and Bill Buckner, forever joined together in history


We all remember where we were on the glorious day the Mets won the 86 World Series.

MLB Productions has put together a video of game six, yeah the ball that gets through Buckner's legs. A lot happened before Vin Scully uttered the words, that forever linked Mookie and Buckner..."So the winning run is at second base, with two outs, three and two to Mookie Wilson. A little roller up along first; behind the bag! It gets through Buckner! Here comes Knight, and the Mets win it!"

In this video the following questions get answered:

  1. Why was Buckner still in the game?
  2. Would Mookie have beaten Buckner to the bag?
  3. How much of a successful career Buckner had?
  4. How did it end between Buckner and the Sox?
