Through the feet of Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner, the 1986 NY Mets snatched World Series victory from the jaws of defeat. In one of the most bizarre shifts of momentum, Mookie Wilson’s bounding ground ball hit off reliever Bob Stanley completed a three-run tenth-inning comeback that propelled the Mets to an easy 7th game victory two nights later.
