Boston Red Sox 5 at New York Mets 6, F/10 -- Leading 5-4 in the 10th inning, just one out away from their first Championship since 1918, the Red Sox (much to the frenzied delight of the Shea Stadium crowd) watch it all roll slowly away from them... literally. Bob Stanley's wild pitch allows Kevin Mitchell to score the tying run. Then, on the final pitch of a fabulous at-bat, Mookie Wilson fights off a fastball and dribbles a grounder up the first-base line that slips between Bill Buckner's legs and into history. Ray Knight dashes home with the game-winning run, forcing a Game 7 and permanently adding Buckner's name to the list of notorious baseball "goats."

    RIP Dave Henderson. If Boston had won this game, he would've been immortal in New England. Saved their lives in the epic ALCS Gm 5 and would have won it all in this game. Oh well, he won his title with my beloved A's in 1989. So long Hendu.

    it's 2022, Rip Vin Scully, You did an amazing job calling this inning. I was a kid when this happened and there are tears in my eyes now as I watch this again.

    I was in Chino State Prison watching this and what gets me is how fast these years have gone by , I served over 33 years and I watched all them guys come in and I watched them retire.

    Beautifully called game by the announcers. Top quality baseball commentary.

    The 1986 Playoffs and World Series were remarkable.
  • @kylewhytonen
    That image of Ray Knight rounding home with his hands on his head, in utter disbelief of how he got there, gives me chills every time!

    I was neither a Met nor Red Sox fan but I keep re-watching this game. In the hundreds, if not thousands of games I've watched since the 1950s, it's so rare that one of the greatest games ever, was called by one of the greatest commentator pairings ever. I will never tire of watching this broadcast.
  • @CJfromPhilly
    Can you imagine today's announcers keeping quiet for a full 3 minutes at the end of a dramatic game like this?  You gotta love old school broadcasters like Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola who know when to shut up and let the pictures tell the story.

    I was 8 years old, watching this game with my dad in our basement. That final play...we jumped out of our seats in amazement. I remember my dad giving me a high five, which was out of character for him, because he was so excited. I lost my dad this past September. But this memory, the great memory of watching this game with my dad, is why I am a Mets fan today.

    I was 26 years old and that afternoon was my sister's wedding. After the wedding the party spilled over to my house with a crowd of people screaming and yelling watching the game on TV. And what a game... One of the best days of my life that I'll never forget.

    Greatest game of my lifetime. Second is game six of the 1986 NLCS, Mets & Astros.
  • @Tuning_Spork
    I watch this over and over and over and I still can't believe it. The '86 Mets were the definition of "bad-ass".
  • @improvmaniac
    It's 2021 and I'm still watching this game. Great memories. Love MOOkie Wilson and that entire staff of Mets.
  • @petermainwald6413
    I was 20 years old.. this was the greatest moment of my life and I will always be grateful for this. I love the HUGE uniform numbers, the large stripes.and the amazing pitching and managing.. I have lifetime goosebumps because of this..
  • @tvscribe
    Vin Scully with the greatest non-call of all time. Shea gave you all the commentary you needed...Goosebumps.
  • @Xelanderthomas
    I'll never forget this game. I jumped so high my head banged on my apt. ceiling.
  • @sotolover7923
    Still remember watching this game with my dad and when Carter singled...."I love that guy. He never gives up." And we all know what happened next. Good life lesson for me as a 10 year old.
