1986 World Series, Game 7: Red Sox @ Mets
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2010
- Boston Red Sox 5 at New York Mets 8, F -- Both teams were facing their final game in one of the most dramatic postseasons ever: the Mets finally triumphant in an epic NLCS vs. the Houston Astros; the Red Sox fighting the "Curse of the Bambino" and the California Angels in the ALCS... and of course both clubs coming directly off the heels of the infamous "Bill Buckner" Game 6. And so the 1986 season for all the marbles came down to this final game at a packed and raucous Shea Stadium. A rainout of the originally-scheduled Game 7 the day before allowed the pressure to build for another 24 hours.

RIP Joe Garagiola, Bill Buckner, Don Baylor, Dave Henderson, and Gary Carter. God bless your souls.
I didn't know Don Baylor and Dave Henderson were dead.
Yes Hendu died in 2015, and Baylor in 2017. Bill Robinson the Mets first base coach also passed in 2007.
And Bob Murphy as well.
Dave henderson died?

Yep the 2nd best catcher in the history of the Mets next 2 ONLY MIKE PIAZZA!

The missing piece. After they got him signed, it was destiny!

I swear this crowd is what sparked the win. They were full throat and full bore from the first pitch on. Even when the Mets were down. Impressive. These kinds of fans are priced out of todays sports.
There's a number of things that factor into that- first off, it IS still Game 7 of the World Series and even when they were down Sid Fernandez got the crowd back into the game back when middle relievers were not commonly used (Sid was normally a starter).
However, just as important is the way the MLB parks are now. The game, whether you like it or not, is just part of the entertainment, now. And in some cases, if the team sucks, a very small part of it, actually. There are clubs, bars, restaurants, games for children to play, free wifi - you name it, it's in the confines of the stadium somewhere. When you have so much bullshit going on at the same time, it will detract away from the interest in the game (the game also hasn't kept up with TV and the times, as it should have, and those problems they've let fester will eventually have an adverse effect over the next 10-15 years, as millennials become the highest demographic, and that's part of it, too).
Additionally, all of the fucking artificial noise that these speaker systems pump into the stadiums now, almost constantly, also has an adverse effect on crowd reaction/interest, perhaps somewhat counterintuitively. This involvement you're speaking about in 86' was organic and uninterrupted by "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?!?!?!? .....THE HAPPY BUS IS COMING!!!!!!!.....WE WILL ROCK YOU 1,000,000,000 TIMES!!!!!!!!!........HEY NOW!!YOU"RE AN ALLSTAR, GET YOUR GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!EXIT LIGHT, ENTER NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!....." and the endless motherfucking barrage of bullshit that's pumped into one's senses even at a meaningless game, much less a game on National TV for all the marbles. Sometimes I seriously want to go into the sound room of these places and just blow the guy at the CPU away, so the bullshit noise can stop invading my sense of sound, and so I can actually listen to the person next to me fucking talk.
And yes, there are all the minions that want to live their lives through their cellphones, so when a big play/moment happens instead of being really into it, they go and reach for the Goddamned camera on their phones, as if anybody's going to want to watch their crappy 30 seconds of their perspective in the ballpark (Ah....hello?! Remember, the game's on TV!!!!!!!!)
So there you have it, those are the myriad of reasons it's not usually like this, now. Not just about pricing people out (although that's a factor, as well).
My thoughts exactly! That's why it used to be SO HARD to win a game 7 on the road! Have you noticed now how many teams win Game 7's on the road in the playoffs? It happens ALL THE TIME!!! When I was growing up it almost NEVER Happened!
@@jpwjr1199 well put, totally agree with your assessment of how corporate america has ruined the games we love, and everything else. they have to put a price on everything these days, nothing is out of bounds, and as you say most people who haven't seen a decent raise in 40 years, now have to shell out over a days pay to watch a goddamn game. it's out of fucking control. we need to take america back from the greedy 1%.
@@tomitstube It's true what you're saying to a degree, and I agree with the sentiment. I also was trying to point out that some things were unavoidable, like the cellphones and wi-fi at the games. If I were to attack corporate America and how it affects pro sports, I'd look first to the taxpayer funded, tax free for the team owner's stadium/arena deals.
@@jpwjr1199 agree with that too, we must end corporate welfare for team owners, and do away with their anti-trust protections. why do billionaires and the companies they run have so many protections? i thought the "free market" was supposed to take care of that. it's all a scam by the 1% and the puppets they (s)elect.
and this is across the board for numerous tax funded private subsidies, that almost *never* do what they promise as far as jobs and economic growth for the communities the *pretend* to serve.
nyc rejecting to pay amazon 3 billion dollars just for coming there is a great start.
pretty amazing how amazon wanted a headquarters in either d.c. or n.y. and when they can't get the billions in give aways, bezos decides to not to expand. i thought this was about jobs? nope it was all about getting more corporate welfare and not having to promise anything in return.
but yeah, tax payers paying millions for stadiums that billionaire owners then use to gouge the (same) people who paid for the stadium? $10 beers, $5 sodas, parking? the average ticket in the nfl is $83. and that's before you're gouged at the stadium... and all this at the cost of not paying for schools, infrastructure, parks, and community projects?!?! and the people working there are making minimum wage? owners are literally taking out cheap seats to put in corporate suites. how is this scam allowed to continue? it amazes me how the rich blatantly rip us off and nobody bats an eye...
ah yes, and then there's the corporate media controlling the narrative...
Rest in peace Bill Buckner. No matter what anybody else says about "the one that went right through your legs" in Game 6 of the 86 World Series, you were an outstanding individual who showed stability and great athleticism during your lifetime career as a Major League baseball player. We're gonna miss you. You will forever live in our hearts.
☁⛅☁
And a genuinely nice guy. I'm a lifelong Mets fan who met Buckner several years before he passed away, and he couldn't have been nice. RIP.
Roberto Lopez not to mention the fact that the game was already tied when he made that error--they had already blown a 2-run lead with only one out left to get. Blame is more appropriately assigned to Schiraldi, or truthfully more accurately, McNamara for not using his players properly. Schiraldi shouldn't even have still been in the game in the first place. It was his third inning of work, which is more than is ever supposed to be asked of a closer, particularly when Stanley had yet to allow an earned run in that series. He should have been in from the start of that inning, not brought in only with the tying run already at 3rd.
Amen!
@@2010metsfan yes
He wouldn't have had time anyway if he caught it. Too far away.

Still can't believe Bill Buckner died..
...And Joe Garagiola.
And Bob Murphy, the longtime voice of the Mets.
Vin Scully also
RIP Gary Carter, team leader/captain and the ONLY member of that club that made it in the HOF!!!! GREATEST WORLD SERIES EVER RIGHT HERE!!!
Even after that devastating error, Buckner still went 2 for 4 this final game and even scored with one good leg. Just shows you that he was doing everything in his power to help his team win.
I'm a Mets fan but I really respected Bill. He was a classy guy who played hard. Thankfully years later he was honored by the Red Sox.
There's a long list of people to blame and Buckner is nowhere near the top.
Also, he was on deck when the final out happened
The score was tied when that ground ball was hit - the bullpen lost Games 6 and 7.
@@EdTracey347 McNamara is the one who should take the blame. I can think of about a half a dozen of them off the top of my head.
That mets uniform was legit!!
I wish they wore that as an alternate uniform. It would be awesome!
+FrankaDankus327 They will now!! Every Sunday home game.
Andy Ohr i know! im so pumped.
I know, right? What do they have now, about 30 different uniforms? This one was the best. I don't get all the alternate crap. At least the Yankees never do that.
Glory Days !!! They are comming !!!
it has been over 30 years and Jesse Orosco's glove STILL hasn't come down yet!
I coached youth baseball with Jessie in San Diego several years back, he's a great guy, great family.
@@eightinches6094 He Pitched One hell of a Game in this World Series Win etc.
Very True. And Joe Gibbs is still on the podium trying to figure out how the 86 New York Giants beat the Redskins in the 86 NFC Champion Ship Game. He's in the Guinness Book for longest beard ever.
Jajjajajajakaa
You want to laugh, i always wondered what happened to that glove ? Im not kidding. With all those cops im sure they got it. If you notice they all held on to their gloves.
One of the greatest world series of all time.
Arizona vs. Yankees in 2001 was pretty epic as well with the Brosius and Tino homers in last at bats. Mariano losing in game 7 as well
I remember the Win in 69' Seems like only Yesterday.
top 5 in no order: 1975, 1986, 1991, 2001, 2016
@Councilman Les Wynan if you like pitching duel s 91 was good the 86 w s BLOWS THAT AWAY I d put the 2001 like the 86 w s dramatic in almost every game ahead of that the 75 even 2016 would pass that BORING PITCHING DUEL IN 91
1991 stands as the greatest of all time according to Historians but 1986 is in the top 5
Vin Scully: "Got him" then silence for a while, I wish they'd do that now
Why dont you time it. They would never do that now. Never !!
Agree. Buck, no way
Yeah but they do keep that respectful silence now. After winning a really dramatic championship. I've seen many modern era World Series (post 2000s) where yes, Joe Buck shuts his mouth and lets the winners celebrate. Check out 2001. I think it was almost 4 minutes without a word after his call of "Floater, center field, the Diamondbacks are World Champions!" After Aaron Boone's homer clinched the ALCS in 2003 I don't think anything was said after Buck's homerun call until the on-field interview of Boone.
It depends on the drama and the emotion involved. I think if it's an easily clinched title and the emotion and celebration is muted somewhat, Buck (or whoever is announcing) will talk again relatively quickly after his clincher call (he kept on talking right over the 2003 Marlins celebration in Yankee Stadium but that wasn't a wild celebration or moment either). But if its an ending that squeezes out all the emotion and suspense, particularly if the home crowd is thrilled, then he will keep it quiet for a while. Off memory, I am not sure about 2011 but that would be another good one to look at and compare considering that Cardinals team was also down to their final strike multiple times and then clinched at home.
@M i told you to STFU
Nobody called a game like Vin
The 86 Mets will always be my favorite Met team.
The entire 1986 postseason was one for the ages. Unbelievable talent, heartbreak, and resiliency throughout. As a 12 year old, that's when I became hooked.
tYup, Angels, Red Sox and Astros mets series were both epic. The Astros Mets series was really good. game 6 went 16 innings.
Yep, you were at the perfect age to witness the greatest post season in MLB history. My personal fave is game five of the ALCS. Al Michaels said it best after Hendu's two run shot with two outs in the top of the ninth and down to their last strike, "You're lookin' at one for the ages here."
Who hit the homer for the Red Sox that gave them the lead in game 7 of the 1986 world series?
what a post season. Could've easily been Houston vs California in the World Series.....amazing how many times the MEts came back when defeat seemed only a strike away. What a post season run.
That 1986 Met's team had it all. Great starting pitching, great bullpen, single hitters, power hitters, and an excellent defensive team. You don't win 108 games during the regular season if you are not a great team. Games 6 and 7 of this World Series were great games. The Red Sox were solid but not in the Met's class. To take the Mets to the 7th game and be leading in the middle of the game is a testament to their grit.
I'm a Mets fan but to blame Buckner is to be clueless. So many other Sox blew chances to win the series. Buckner was a great player, and a class act. After game six (and seven) he patiently answered every reporter's question.
The Sux also had a 3-0 lead in the 6th inning of Game 7, they could've held that lead but didn't
Oh yeah, I mean he was just the scapegoat. These Mets were my last "totally favorite" baseball team. I was a senior in HS when this happened and I had liked them since I was in 8th, when they were dead last. The team they had arranged over the next few years was so fun to watch on the old WOR. This was the crown jewel of all their accomplishments. I had watched them scrape back in many a game before this. I loooooved it when Jesse Orosco would come out in relief because they almost always won. Hardly EVER did he blow it for them. Calvin Shiraldi had actually been a Mets pitcher a couple years before this. The whole Sox pitching lineup blew this.
They lead 2 games to 0 after Game 2, but couldn't do anything with that either.
Lucas McCain Red Sox built an early 3-0 lead, Bruce Hurst - who would've been the World Series MVP had Boston won it - held the Mets scoreless through 5 innings. The Mets just simply refused to labor. Even early on when their bats were quiet, you had to sense that they would eventually get their bats in gear. The Mets won over 100 games that year & a lot of those in come-from-behind fashion, so they just didn't panic even when it took them until the 6th to finally get to Hurst & the Red Sox bullpen.
Migueltio Schiraldi was actually traded for Bob Ojeda the year BEFORE this Series, in 1985. How ironic that both pitchers would win up facing their former teams in the Fall Classic a year later.
It is sooo strange to see all those people in the stands and not a single cell phone , good'ol times people talking to real people :)
***** Yeah no selfie sticks there LOL!!!
The good old days indeed. 1986 was my favorite year for so many different reasons. Mainly because I'm a die hard Boston Celtics fan and in my opinion, that was the best team ever. Also my Canadiens won the Cup over the Calgary Flames.
How can a Boston Celtics fan be a fan of the Montreal Canadiens? Real Boston sports fans hate the Canadiens.
LOL, yea back then it was magazines, newspapers, notice how none of the guy's on the field had tattoos, earrings..
Right on the good old Days give me them any time etc
This season is essentially what got me into Baseball, into the Mets and into Sports in general as a 9 yr old kid in Brooklyn.
me too!
Movie matics same here. 9 yo. In Brooklyn. Troop and flushing ave, saw my dads friend shouting lungs out in excitement. Been a Mets fan since the. Wear my cap loose or win with pride
Movie matics I was 10 in QUEENS a Nuyorican kid who loves baseball and his METS FOREVER
Same here, I was 7. I remember game 6 and 7 like it was yesterday
Seeing Gary Carter embrace Keith Hernandez after the game game me chills. I'm 25 and a life long mets fan. I've dealt with disappointment for the vast majority of of those years. My dad was 25 when they won it all in 1986. I hope that history can repeat itself!
so great to See Gary Carter in happier times. He was the heart and soul of that team. A great series by both teams
Darling had some nasty stuff back in the day.
Rest In Peace Gary Carter!!!
Yes indeed Lord Artec -- I nearly broke down in tears when I first read in the local newspapers back in the summer of 2011 that Gary Carter was diagnosed with four tumors in his brain, because I KNEW IN MY GUT that he was eventually going to die. ;-(
And I would think that Gary is boasting to Jesus that he won the World Series for the Mets and not the Expos. He was certainly a class act for America's pastime.
Yankees fan here. This Mets team was truly magical. Both my parents are Mets fans so they hold a special place in my heart. And they kept the curse going another 18 years
Denver Bronco fan here. A very enjoyable series.
Then we clipped you down 3-0 and have won 4 times as many as you in the last 2 decades 😭
Don't give me that 27championship crap when exactly 20 of your championships have literally been before 1963 LMAO😭
You have 7 in the last 60 years.
You have 1 in the last 24 years.
We have 4 in the last 19 years.
God bless your parents I want you to MedVed even though it's going across the street from Yankee stadium and I was hanging fell when I was going up anyway 1969 game truly call amazing
@@speakinfaxonly21 you bums have 4 in the past 105 years and you’re trying to talk shit?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🏻
@@speakinfaxonly21 oh and guess what, those titles before 1963 still count the same. 86 years of losing and finally started to string a few together. Now Red Sox fans think they are the Yankees with all the championship gloating 🤣🤣
Watching Mets baseball that year was pure joy.
One of my favorite events ever I will always be a Mets fan for life
2:34:56 Gary looking for mex, it hits me in the heart. they werent the closest, but they respected the hell out of each others game. Keith really took kids death hard, and this was a nice little moment in their relationship.
I watched something about the Mets doc last year & they said the issue might have stemmed from Carter was supposed to be the leader of the team but it was really Keith's team something like that so maybe a bit of ego in who was the capt or guy the troops followed ? Winning is think heals a lot of that kind of stuff. Like I learned watching an interview that the Riley Knicks that took the 93 bulls to 7 & than lost to them the next year in 6 was large in part that mark Jackson was the leader of the team & was stupidly traded away plus the non signing of Xavier McDaniel. Anyway just b/c Ewing was the best player didn't make him the leader. Ewing was notoriously very quiet & media shy & yes he was a warrior top 50 player hof easy & tried to lead by example but sometimes u need that vocal guy in the clubhouse. Apparently Mark Jackson was it according to many Knicks & he was gone for the aging doc rivers who was hurt in early in their finals run & Derek harper became that guy. Maybe a pg is that if the franchise player isn't. Also having said that I can't believe Ray knight who literally was the spark for the Mets in the title win mvp for the series was only offered a measly 5k raise so he was offended ( Don't blame him for walking ) so in ur title defense year of 87 u take the field the very next season w/o the mvp. Knight made such a difference in the Mets last 2 do or die wins. He was the 3rd base hit in a row that scored Carter & got Mitchell to 3rd so that when the wild pitch came in Mitchell scored. Then he scored the famous winning run & is part of the greatest call ever by Vin scully " here comes knight & the Mets win it " then in game 7 he crushes a 3 run home run. W/o knight they don't win.
It also annoys me that all people did was blame Buckner or the curse of babe Ruth instead of saying the Mets in a 99% chances they lose spot w/ 2 out nobody on base come back to win. So credit to the Mets in the biggest most epic comeback in a huge world series game where they were about to be eliminated win it. I still get chills watching it from the point of Keith making the 2nd out & literally the scoreboard at Shea congratulated the Sox & the locker room had the t shirts champagne & when it was tied they had to book everything out of there. So the Sox came as close to winning a title as u can. 5 x only 1 strike away. The Mets were just clutch city. Then they were down again in game 7 & came back. They refused to say die.
They should have let Oil Can Boyd start his regular rotation for game 7. It were pure discrimination against Oil Can Boyd. The Bible say's people will reap what they sow. They sowed discrimination and they reap a humiliating loss !!
Why couldn't oil can pitch game 7
Doc Goodrn switch hit game 6 😂
❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢
Thirty years ago today, The Amazing Mets completed an awesome season. Comeback after comeback, everyone is always so quick to blame Bill Buckner, but the Red Sox had a 3-0 lead in game 7 and still couldn't find a way to win. Way to go Mets!!!
Rich Gedman was the bigger culprit. Though it was called a wild pich that scored the Kevin Mitchell tying run....it should have been scored a passed ball. That pitch was knee high and inside......but quite catchable. 8 of 10 catchers have that pitch in their mit. He simply took too long to react to it.
I was there. What a great game. Orosco's hit was one of the most amazing things that ever happened.
How old were u?
How was you experience at this game? My guess that you had a great thrill.

One Of The Greatest World Series In MLB History !!!
i was a huge mazzilee fan growing up, when they got him back in 86 it meant the world to me, then to see him contribute in the world series...wow!!!!! home is a time, not a place......
I still have this on VHS lol. SO many memories. Great upload
Kim Martin I agree Kim, I had a game going on the computer yesterday... I heard the voice announcing and realized it was Vin Scully. Was a Dodger game. I watched it just cause of him. :)
Really did they have VHS back then
John Windsor My dad paid $1,000 for a VCR in 1981
I don't have the actual game on VHS but months later MLB released a VHS of the Series, with key moments of every game. I still have it. Need to have it transfered to a disc.
i was doing security that night in a Condo in Manhattan and was watching the game, that was a dream team, they had all the right players at the right time, i will never forget that night.
One of my greatest childhood memories. I was 5 and I remember that it was the first time I had ever felt complete elation. My house was in pandemonium for the end of game 6 and 7. Great team, wonderful personalities, one of a kind experience. America was a better place back then.
One of my worst. Told mom in game 6, "the Sox are finally going to do it!"...We know how that ended. By the time I saw Boggs crying on the bench in Game 7 I had to go upstairs and shed a few myself.
@@TheocratOfPoontang
I can only imagine how it felt to be on the losing end in that series. Despondent and gut wrenching no doubt.
@@MaximusWolfe It only took 18 years for the pain to fully go away. 😉 Now, we're rather spoiled as Sox fans. But honestly, I still think of the drama of the '86 Series (and playoffs) the most.
35 year old Met fan. Watched this game more than any other in my life
Sid saved this WS for the Mets.
You got that right. Darling struggled and the Mets weren't scoring. It was some dire times when Sid Fernandez came in. Fernandez handled his biz and the Mets were better for it.
1:01:00 Sid Fernandez pitching against Rice and Evans like a BOSS. Love it.
El Sid was the momentum change the Mets needed in this game.
rm1133 exactly correct
Man I miss the 80's. What a time
One of the happiest nights of my life.
R.I.P.Gary Carter.
I tear up seeing good ol’ Gary. RIP, Gary. I remember this series clearly, though I was a kid. Thanks for sending me down memory lane!😊
I thought the key was Sid's pitching, especially blowing away Rice and striking out Evans with a mix of slow stuff and a fastball. It really set the crowd on fire.
Not a Mets fan, but Vin Scully was magnificent during this whole series.
This was the year my family got cable so this was especially memorable for me, being a kid watching the Mets the entire season. This team is legend. I don't think any team can top this for me. This is up there with childhood Christmases & trips to Disneyland. Pure magic.
IMHO, the BEST WORLD SERIES EVER. I didn't see the 75' Series, except through vintage classics thanks to RUclips or MLB Network. Some say the 91' Series, but how can you give any series that type of credit when no one won on the road? This series had everything, from Boston coming in and winning the first two, to Davey Johnson giving his team a day off, thus coming back to win two in Boston. After it look like the Red Sox was about to win, Carter said he was not making the final out. Mitchell too, then Knight and then Mookie, wild pitch and Bill Buckner. Classic! Great post season for every baseball fan!
Gary Street Yeah. That 16 inning classic in the NLCS Mets vs Stros and the ALCS where the Red Sox themselves down to their last out when Henderson played hero and clubbed a home run.
MetsGiantsRangersKnicksNYSports Rarely do you see the 3 biggest post-season series all go to game 7. Both the ALCS and the NLCS were insane
Mets/Astros NLCS was actually 6 games, but felt like 7. If you count all the extra innings in that series though, it adds up to about 7 games. Probably the most intense and greatest series EVER that didn't go the full 7 games.
I remember watching the Mets on, channel 9 (WOR tv) I believe, I was six years old when my mother bought her first house on 43st n Queens Blvd,about a dozen stops before the Shea Stadium #7train stop. Those where great days n after that, going to the stadium with my Grammer school friends n seeing the Mets play at Shea the following year n paying a $1.50 for a general admission bleecher ticket n sneaking down to c the players n Yogi Berra. The NYJETS won the SUPER BOWL THAT YEAR TOO! I was 6yrs old in 1969,beautiful women,great music n fast muscle cars!! Papa...
Robert Schalk the train stop is/was Willets Point/Shea Stadium.
LETS GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!
2019 and I'm still thrilled by this game and great Mets team. There was never a Mets team with this many characters.
After Game 6, I remember having no doubt about winning 7. I went to the '86 season Mets home opener which they won and then watched so many comebacks that year. They had the talent and the will to win that was unmatched to this day.
this makes me proud and sad that they haven't won again. but this was one of those once in a lifetime stars aligned moments. yankee fan forever but you cant not like this gritty mets team. r.i.p. #8
They have a good chance this year.
Love Gary Carter hugging Wally. Awesome.
30 years ago when the Mets won the world series!
Where has time gone!WHAT A NERVE BITING SERIES IT WAS!
Tom Ok their first was in 1969
30 years after that, the Chicago Cubs broke a 108-year curse by winning their first World Series in over a century, and no one Cubs fan could be more happier: one of childrens' TV's most beloved, and one of WGN-TV's most beloved personalities Bozo the Clown!
Yeah, the Mets haven't done shit since the Berlin Wall fell!!!
RIP Gary Carter You are Sadly missed by all of your Fans ETC Who is watching this in 2019.?
My tears still come down when I see this... i grew up 5 minutes away from Shea Stadium ✌️from Elmhurst, Queens, New York baby, Let's go Mets let's do it again....⚾️⚾️⚾️
Wish the Mets could have team captains again like Hernandez and Carter.
Sad about great SS Bud Harrilson Suffering with Dementia, Wish him well also etc.
Right on
Well they had David Wright and Jose Reyes kind of like co captains in my opinion😳
They’ve had a bunch of captains since these days. Wright was an official captain, although he didn’t want the C on his jersey which I completely agree w/. John Franco was a captain for many years who did wear a C. And Hernandez and Carter weren’t captains until ‘87.
Cubs fan here. Not to mention Mookie Wilson, Wally Backman, Keith Hernandez, Ray Knight, Darryl Strawberry, Len Dykstra and Hubie Brooks. Jesse Orosco and Dwight Gooden also.
THIS IS BASEBALL!!! god I love this. Lets go Mets!!!
Thank You 1986 METS it was a Special time in this City and I'll NEVER FORGET IT
No, this is Patrick! Lol
P.S. I was six months old when this game took place.
No cell phones. No muscle batters. Everyone in to the game.. Times were different not to long ago...Amazing!
Statistically speaking, the 1986 NY Mets were the greatest National League team of all time. Even better than the Big Red Machine Reds of 1975, and that's saying something. Just dominant from start to finish.
@War Productions Too lazy to look into it yourself moron?
My aunt and uncle were at my home when this game was played and after the Sox took the lead early in the 2nd inning, my aunt said to my uncle, "Come on, it's all over, let's go home." But I said, "It's only the 2nd inning!" The rest is history. It's hard to compare the '86 Mets team and season with the '69 Miracle Mets, but the '86 Mets were incredible all year long. It's sad that they faltered in '87 and lost to L.A. in the NLCS in '88 but they were great teams. I was sorry to see Ray Knight leave after the '86 season.
Can't compare a 108 win team to the 69 Mets who defeated the virtually invincible Baltimore O's (that were WS champs 3 years earlier and one year later). In both cases it was pitching, Bobby Ojeda shut the Sox down the same way Jerry Koosman shut the O's down.
Man I was 11 months old win the Mets won, being a Mets fan since 96 I’ve had lots of ups and downs, but man I need to watch the 86 series in full
Definitely one of the best celebration pileups of all-time
What a series. This game is, among other things, a tribute to the greatness of Keith Hernandez, one of the greatest defensive first basemen in history. Too bad he had a tinge of scandal - rumored cocaine use - early in his career. To me, a Hall of Famer. Not just all the Gold Gloves. But those HUGE clutch hits in two winning Game Seven efforts = 82 and 86. KEITH!!!!!
It wasn't rumored. He admitted to using cocaine in the early 1980's to a grand jury during the Pittsburgh Pirate drug investigation in 1985 and he also he admitted in a book he wrote on the 1985 season "If at First"
@@paulsonj72 I still have the updated paperback of that book. He includes the 1986 season in it. Glad he kicked it because he was a huge part of the '86 season.
@@2010metsfan I had a copy of the same book but lost it over the years with many moves.
The cocaine habit is why the Cardinals traded him. It was a confusing trade that made no sense at the time. Only later was the real reason for the trade reveled. That being said, I agree with your assessment of Hernandez’s abilities. Also, when the Cardinals traded him they sat in 1st pace, they ended the season in 4th.
Orosco’s reaction always gives me chills.
I wrote a silly limerick that was spoken on the radio (WNEW) before the game..."There once was a pitcher named Hurst; His forkball, they say, was the worst...But game seven at Shea just wasn't his day, as the Red Sox' bubble was burst."
2:33:48-2:33:55, "Now the pitch on the way. HE STRUCK HIM OUT! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE METS HAVE WON THE WORLD SERIES!"-Bob Murphy.
Watching this game and seeing all those people in the stands, wondering how many are still alive.
That loud & crazy crowd (55K+) at Shea no doubt helped the Mets rally. With the COVID-19 situation I just have a really hard time picturing baseball, esp the World Series, being played with no fans.
@@2010metsfan Here we are 2 years later, & the Mets are rocking, again!
Watching Keith's reaction after his two run single gives me chills!!! Knights home run there was no fucking showboating, no bullshit around the bases. Just pure excitement. These kids nowadays can take a lesson that type of class.
2:33:45 is the moment of glory you came here to see
Strawberry took a long time circling the bases after that homer. Some might remember that he got beaned by Nipper the following pre season for that very reason.
I keep thinking that was why Ray Knight got in Strawberry's face after Darryl touched home plate. Looks like he gave him a good tongue lashing and told him to smarten up. I could be wrong, but that's what it seemed like to me.
In retrospect this was one of the happiest times of my life I was 12. It was an exciting series and New York teams had not been champions yet in my lifetime.
For me as well. I was 28 & recently married. I was happy & watched every game on WOR TV. I would love to time travel back.
Three months later you got to see the Giants win the Super Bowl!
@altoM40: but you've been spoiled since lol!!!
I was there! Have Shea seats in my house and the tickets in a safe place. There for Game 1, 2, 6, 7. Seems like yesterday! Go Mets!
I am now 56 & THIS, was the last of a GREAT era !!
I am 57 n what u say is true indeed. Have a good one to All.
I remember that day in Manhattan working my night job watching the game on tv the place went crazy banging pots and pans out he window that was the dream team Mets back then, all the right players came together on one team, amazing.
i remember that too.was outside that pub on 33rd second ave.couldnt get in so grabed some brews and so the game from out side so glad i did.the real pulse came from out side.that i wont forget.the cars honking and folks banging pots out there windows..that was something...........
Every announcer can take a page from Vin Scully. Let the crowd and the scene tell the story. No way could McCarver/Buck/Morgan keep their mouths shut for a few seconds, let alone minutes, to let the scene sink in. Scully did it masterfully at the end of Games 6 and 7.
I'm really LOVING the lady in the white flat brimmed hat rolling her arms to try to distract the Boston pitchers -- I swear it's almost every pitch. You go girl! :-)
I could care less about both teams but speaking as an impartial viewer those people rolling thier arms should've been kicked out of the stadium
@@clanshepard you must be fun at parties
I loved the Mets and never blamed Buckner for the Sox losing the Series. I think that the blame he received wasn't so much for the misplay itself, but for standing there helplessly as the Mets finished their miraculous comeback. It's unfortunate how he was blamed and not forgiven for it. A true class act throughout his career and life.
One of the most amazing World Series ever
Just watched game six, what a game! Now I have to watch game 7!! Thank you for posting.
One of my most fortunate times ever. To be there and win it in Game 7. It was tremendous. The crowd was so electric throughout and it was a pulse like never before or since. The whole game here, really nice because there that night, even better. Game 6 was sick. For all of us who had tickets or the next one, it was an elixir we'll never see or experience again. Unreal. Love you Mex and Fid, the damn game MVP who kept us in there when it looked rough down 3.
I remember watching Game 7 like it was yesterday. I remember the guy who parachuted in, and you knew right then and there Bruce Hurst wasn’t going to stop. It was like the parachutist lit up the stadium. Great memories
World Series MVP should have gone to the crazy witch lady in orange behind the plate hexing all the Red Sox pitchers.
DISTRACTING the Red Sox pitchers....😋
She annoyed the hell out of me! What a weirdo! She must have the biggest, strongest arms in the world!
As amazing as this series was, the League Championships Series' between the Mets and Astros and the Angels and Red Sox were both as dramatic and mind-blowing. Perhaps the greatest all-around playoffs I've seen in my lifetime.
Yes,all the series that year were classic.
It was my 1st time in the US in 1986 (I was 17 yrs old)and I lived in Queens NY. This was part of my childhood and the Mets winning the world series was part of my New York experience and I loved it. I watched the ticker-tape parade with my Uncle back then. He passed away 20 yrs ago. Those were good times. 30 plus years later, (Im now 53) living in Houston. Seeing this video brings back memories. I miss those times.
I'm a Jets and Mets fan. We don't have the most championships, but man, we have arguably the 2 best!
Unbelievable series. The Mets were never truly ahead in the series until Knights homer in the 7th inning of game 7.
Let's Go Mets Baseball ❤️⚾🇺🇸❤️🙏✝️ .... New York Mets World Series Champions 💍💍🏆🏆 1969, 1986 .... Forever
RIP Vin Scully the GOAT. What a pleasure compared to Buck who talks the entire game including during the celebrations.
Scully was good, but if you want to hear some real pros listen to any game of the 1979 WS. The Baltimore games were done by Keith Jackson, Howard Cosell, and Don Drysdale. For the Pittsburgh games, they swapped out Keith Jackson for Al Michaels because Jackson had to work some college football games. They were the best broadcasting team that ever did it. The knuckleheads that call baseball today make the game unwatchable so I stopped watching.
@@zephead843the ultimate “real pro” is vin scully. he is the undisputed greatest announcer for a reason.
Gary Thorne is good too regardless of what others say
That first-inning standing ovation for Billy Bucks was epic. I was 12 at the time and well-remember it.
Mets squad was d@mn good that year!!! Won 108 games en route to the title!!!
That pitch from El Sid at 1:14:24 was downright nasty. I watched this game at my college recreation hall TV lounge and remember so well how Sid kept the game from getting further out of reach until the Mets' bats woke up. He was truly the MVP of this game.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY TODAY DAD 6-16-24-RICHARD DONOFRIO--I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS GAME WITH YOU AND HOW WE LEAPED OUT OF OUR CHAIRS IN THE END!!.. THIS DAY WITH YOU WILL BE IN MY HEART FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE!! I LOVE YOU, DAD!! LOVE YOU ALWAYS, DIANE
1986 one of the best World Series no doubt
R.I.P. Bill Buckner 5/27/2019
akaredcrossbow wow! I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this yet. Lewy Body Dementia? I wonder how long he was dealing with that. I’m glad the Boston fans finally made peace with him before he died. It was totally unfair what he went through. Thanks for sharing this.
Alamo James pretty much the worst dementia you can get with Parkinson’s disease. A lot of people don’t understand that the loss of the 86 World Series was not even close to being his fault, it was just a memorable play unfortunately. All the problems happened prior to the ball going through his legs. It was actually pitching and management that should have been blamed for that fiasco, plus the Red Sox had another game to win it and they didn’t. Again it was so unfortunate that the blame was put all on him and the loss had nothing to do with just him. Pitching: 2 outs 3 balls 2 strikes to win the World Series. Instead of striking the batter out he gets on base, then 2 more batters get on base🤔 seems to me blame on pitching and blame on coach for not replacing pitcher, blame on coach for not replacing Buckner “Buckner asked to be replaced” because he could barley walk at that point.
Much respect for Bill Buckner!!
I think Mr. Buckner was much better with the Cubs than with Boston. Sadly one of baseball's greats who went without a single World Series title. May God bless you Mr. Buckner!
RIP Dave Henderson, Don Baylor, Bill Buckner, Sammy Stewart, Gary Carter
Was at this game, despite a math test the next morning and Game 6 laryngitis. Upper deck, first base line. I remember studying on the train going to the game. I aced the exam, but long forgot whatever I studied for. However, I will never forget this game.
Gary Carter was a special player. RIP Kid.
My dads so lucky he got to live during this time
I was watching from my couch biting my nails! ⚾️🏆
Fue una serie mundial espectacular por ambos equipos.Yo la vi por televisión en Puerto Rico 1986 por wapa tv.Que pena hayan fallecidos algunos jugadores.Amigos estadounidenses no continuemos con la injusticia Al GRAN PETE ROSE este pelotero esssss un HALL OF FAME .Una GLORIA para el BASEBALL de LAS GRANDES LIGAS.SALUDOS A TODOS LOS FANÁTICOS DEL BASEBALL.
I was born 6 years after this series, but I'm a die hard mets fan. I grew up hearing the stories but it's so cool to actually be able to watch these guys, they are as good as advertised. What a game.
What a difference betwewn those players and today's show offs. No stupid bat flips, no pointing at the sky as they touch home plate.
At 2:33:48, Orosco gets the final strike and throws his glove in the air, but it never comes down. One of the great mysteries of our time.
My Mets! (when they were good!)
Im a red sox fan born and raised, but i hope the mets take the world series this year.. you mets fans deserve it!
Oil Can looked right at the camera like “Should’ve let me pitch the damn game man”😂😂
