I started following baseball in the late spring of 1986 as a 12 year old. Before 1986 I was mostly into G.I. Joe, Transformers, Star Wars, Robotech, etc. Then I started playing softball and I wanted to know more about the game of baseball. So I started watching as many games as possible between the Cubs, White Sox, ABC Monday night baseball and NBC's Saturday's game of the week. As a young kid on Chicago's west side I took more to the Cubs because they were on WGN tv every day and night. I was amazed at how the late great HOF announcer Harry Carey could make a last place Cubs team seen like they were in first place and gonna win the World Series. I learned real quick about how good the New York Mets were. A cocky, arrogant team loaded with talent. And they were constantly getting into fights with other teams! It was wonderful following and learning about the game of baseball in 1986. Then in October I'd come home from school and all hell breaks loose in the NLCS and ALCS. I was indifferent towards the Angels and Red Sox but I definitely wanted the Mets to lose. But everytime it seemed like the Mets were dead they'd find a way to come back and win. I'm about to turn 46 in two months and I've followed baseball for the last 33 years. I've experienced the ups, downs and ups with the Cubs and White Sox. I'm predominantly a Cubs fan but I carry a candle for the White Sox for my late dad who passed in 2008 at 71. I was so glad he got to see his White Sox win the World Series back in 2005. And I finally experienced my Cubs winning it all 3 years ago in 2016. I still can't believe it. But through all the years and experiences following major league baseball, I always come back to 1986.

If Gary Lucas hadn't hit Rich Gedman with a pitch and gotten him out, Dave Henderson would've never come to bat. 3. Moore was pitching with a bad shoulder, 4. The Angels had a chance to win that game in the bottom of the 9th inning and bail Moore out. Rob Wilfong had tied the game at 6-6 with a single. Both Bobby Grich and Doug DeCinces swung at bad pitches and got Steve Crawford off the hook.

Had he been correctly called safe then Houston would have won in 9 innings then the NLCS goes a full seven games. R.I.P. Bill Buckner, Gary Carter and Donnie Moore

@@knightrdrx Exactly. He ditched his slider which did nothing when he pitched for New York. The splitter is a devastating pitch but you have to have large hands to throw it anywhere close to how Scott threw it. Plus, it's a dangerous pitch for your elbow. Scott didn't have a long career as a result. Mets' propaganda I've seen online wants to act like Scott had zero talent. Like he was only successful because every ball he threw was first deposited into a concrete mixer full of thumbtacks. I won't deny possible 'gamesmanship' on Scott's part, but the guy had legit talent and wasn't doing anything that other pitchers around the league weren't doing themselves. Strawberry's attitude about it -- "whatever he was doing, he was beating us...bottom line" -- is more admirable than Gary Carter's constant whining about it.
