Bill Buckner ( and his wife and daughter) suffered very much by being scapegoated for the Mets Win by the New England fans for years. He had a great career. Watching ESPN's "Catching Hell" about Cubs fan Steve Bateman and scapegoating, really made me feel for Buckner and his family. The Mets were a team of Destiny. They were a great team. The Red Sox were great as well. Destiny was not to be denied, but choreographed by Met and New York Magic. Bill Buckner was a great player, and even though I am a Met fan for sure, I am a baseball fan first. Bill Buckner will always be remembered by This fan by MORE than that one flawed play. His perseverance in the years after 1986 and what he went through as a Man because of one error, will always make me admire him for the True MAN he was. RIP BILL. You were a great baseball player!

Senior year in high school. Mets fan through the torture of the 70s and early 80s. I simply thank God for that 1986 season. Nothing compares to that roller coaster ride.

[@fasteddie9867]

I'm sure you all know that the last out of the 1969 Series was committed by none other than Davey Johnson!

[@DDEENY]

We certainly know! One surreal event that never came about was Tom Seaver pitching for the Red Sox in the 1986 World Series against his own "Franchise", the Mets. Tom pitched for the Sox in 1986 but unfortunately developed arm trouble and was inactivated for the Sox' 1986 post-season. Number 41 was seen in a Sox uniform in the dugout for the post season and almost nothing was made of his presence. One could only imagine what could have been.

[@jude999]

"We didn't care about slogans, we just watned to win." How Hernandez is not in the HOF, where Minosa, Larkin, Baines, Simmonds, and McGriff are in, is beyond my comprehension.

[@AlphaOne2009]

How could one not love Bob Murphy?

[@davidmacwilliamson5570]

The story I am intrigued by the most is Game 6 of the World Series, is Bob Costas explaining how the Champagne went from the Red Sox locker room and taken away, because of the Mets comeback, wow!!!!

[@DDEENY]

Hear, hear. The amazing part was how quickly the champagne switched locker rooms and the plastic sheeting used to protect the clean uniforms in the locker room from champagne spray before the Red Sox players made their way back after the devastating loss. Bob Costas also noted how "frail Mrs. Frazee" (elderly wife of the Red Sox owner Harry Frazee who had initiated the "Curse of the Bambino" by infamously trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees) was led into the Sox' locker room as a Red Sox team honoree to celebrate the historic victory that never came about. I wonder if anyone ever apologized to her afterward.

First time in US, liked Mets had jersey cost me 50 bucks..watched the game on tv in Annapolis with my American buddies who were Sox fans and we all just ran outside and they were like crazed animals running around screaming for about an hour before they calmed down..just happy to have watched it live..what a game!!

[@Damuthafuccka]

I can't believe that the Red Sox fans gave Bill Buckner a hard time for years when its shoulda been Bob Stanley.

[@metsclassics]

It could have easily been Schiraldi too. Game 6 he gave up 3 straight hits with 2 outs and a 2 run lead but more importantly gave up the go-ahead homer by Knight in Game 7. I’ve seen him in several documentaries over the years and seems like a really great guy, and you don’t wish the “Buckner treatment” on anyone.

[@Damuthafuccka]

@@metsclassics Right about Stanley.

[@fasteddie9867]

or McNamara

The Bears' Superbowl Shuffle was recorded before they made the Superbowl the day after losing their only game that season, to the Dolphins

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

I was at Games 6 & 7 in 1986... The energy in Shea when the Mets won game 6 made game 7 kinda anti-climactic. But it was still sweet

I am a SF Giants fan, the Mets in that Era, they were cocky and arrogant, however, they won World Series....

Just wanna point out something the girl is wrong about the 1985 bears they recorded the Super Bowl Shuffle the week before my Dolphins kicked their ass on Monday Night Football!!

this was a good doc but the espn 30 for 30 on 86 mets was best sports doc ive ever watched

[@metsclassics]

Yes the 30 for 30 was incredible.

@@metsclassics the last 4 minutes of part 2 with the song everybody wants to rule the world playing over reagans speech and the highlights of the july 3 rd game against astros was incredible. i was at game 6 but that friday night game against astros on july 3 rd was incredible its another game i was at i will never forget

[@metsclassics]

@@bb-gc2tx agreed! My favorite part as well. Perfect song choice. I’ve been looking for that July 3rd game for so many years but I don’t think it exists outside of whatever MLB has in their vault. Amazing you got to witness Game 6… greatest moment in Mets history!

[@bb-gc2tx]

@@metsclassics i know cant find that july 3 rd game anywhere as far as game 6 i was 11 years old we sat in lodge section 19 second row on first base side . its a night i will never forget. what that author said in doc was so true. strangers hugging each other .when stanley threw wild pitch guy sitting behind us picked me up and was throwing me in the air. lol after game my brother and i sitting in traffic on college point blvd people were getting out of their cars high fiving and hugging each other it was crazy. till this day i cant believe i was at that game
