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 New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox met in a World Series during the 1986 baseball season. Both had been the best teams in their respective leagues, and the stage was set for a great series.

The first two games were played in New York and what a surprise it was when the Red Sox won them both. It was not looking too good for the Mets and they, along with their fans, were down.

Fortunately, the team’s fortunes turned during the next few games and the Mets evened the series before falling behind by a 3 games to 2 count. Game 6 would give the Red Sox a chance to close out the series in Queens.

It seemed like that was destined to happen. It was the bottom of the 9th with the Red Sox in the lead by 2 runs and the Mets did not have any of their players on any of the bases. Everyone was ready to celebrate and thought this game was pretty much over and done with.

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.

After this, the most unexpected of all events occurred. During that same inning while the game was tied, Mookie Wilson hit a dribbler down the first base line. What looked as if it would be an easy out went straight through the legs of Bill Buckner, sending Ray Knight home and giving the Mets the win.

They went on to win game 7 of the World Series, making this one of the most meaningful and memorable games in the history of professional baseball.

There are so many fans of baseball that will always believe that this was indeed the greatest game of baseball that ever took place. And, judging from how it happened, maybe they are correct in that thinking.
