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.

To the surprise of many, New York lost its first two games at home, going down pretty easily to a confident Red Sox team. Things didn’t look too promising for the Mets and their fans.

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.

It looked like this was about to occur. Boston led the game by two runs in the bottom of the 9th inning and the Mets had no one on base. The champagne bottles were corked and the game was all but done.

Somehow, the Mets kept the game alive with a few base hits after being down to their last strike on several occasions. Before long, a wild pitch sent a runner home, tying up the game. The crowd was uproarious; this was history in the making.

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.
