	1986 World Series - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The 1986 World Series, the 83rd playing of the modern championship series in Major League Baseball, was a memorable battle between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox which helped to spread the legend of the "Curse of the Bambino" to mass public awareness.
		Throughout the series, NBC announcers Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola made repeated references to the fact that Bill Buckner's legs were not 100% healthy.
		NBC was broadcasting Game 6 of the 1986 World Series on the evening of October 25; the game entered extra innings, causing that night's broadcast of SNL to be first delayed and then cancelled.

	1986 World Series
		The Shea Stadium fans, frenetic but orderly for a change, were on their feet crying for the final blow, and the mounted police were preparing a charge from the bullpen to barricade the field.
		Boston's Marty Barrett, who had tied a Series record in the second inning when he got his 13th hit, was standing at the plate in swirling mists, a ghost of Series past for all those Red Sox fans who have dutifully borne more than their share of suffering.
		There went a season of hope, an incredible escape from defeat in the playoffs and a World Series of such promise (two straight wins at the start) and maybe the last chance for New England fans to believe that it's possible for their team not to bomb in the big ones.

		Although the "Beantown Bombers" had appeared in nine previous World Series contests (winning five), their last championship title had come an agonizing sixty-eight years prior (in 1918) when Babe Ruth pitched the Sox to two victories over the Chicago Cubs.
		The New York Mets were making their third World Series appearance (winning last in 1969) and totaled one-hundred eight regular season wins while finishing a whopping 21½ games ahead of their nearest competition.
		However his teammates were unable to finish the job, leaving fourteen men on base and committing one of the most devastating errors in World Series history.

	DVD Verdict Review - New York Mets: 1986 World Series
		But as it stands, they weren't, and their run of success in the mid '80s that culminated with their World Series championship in 1986 is remembered more by the team that lost the series than the winning team.
		While the Red Sox Series win in 2004 does take the sting out of most of the pain of the last eight decades, never let it be said we don't care for all people.
		Mookie Wilson, Len Dykstra, Hernandez and Mitchell are among those who reflect on various moments of the 1986 series, capped off with the ring ceremony and banner unfurling at the opening of the 1987 season.

		With Hurst seeking his third victory of the Series (besides winning Game 5, he was a 1-0 victor in Game 1), the Red Sox clipped Ron Darling for three second-inning runs in the climactic game when Dwight Evans and Rich Gedman belted back-to-back homers and Boggs delivered an RBI single.
		The failure of Clemens and Gooden to excel in the Series drew considerable attention.
		And then there was the fact that the Mets became only the second team in World Series history to lose the first two games at home and rally for the championship.

		However, in terms of the 1986 baseball season the story was that the New York Mets, having won 108 games during the regular season, was strike away from blowing the series having been big favorites.

	San Diego Serenade: 1986 World Series Game 6 Re-Enacted in RBI Baseball
		Game Six is one of the most surreal, unbelievable displays of sports in history, and hopefully now that the Sox have emerged victorious in the World Series, it can be seen more as an utterly stupifying comeback, and less of a devastating choke job.
		The 1986 WS are particularly enjoyable for me because I have Keith Hernandez's autobiography 'If At First' in which he details that game, how he was feeling, how shocked he was, etc, etc...so seeing it re-played (in RBI baseball, bringing back childhood memories nonetheless) was awesome.
		I was 12 years old on that night in 1986, and sitting in the right field stands.

	TIME: World Series Memorable Moments - Bill Buckner's Error
		In reality, it was merely a fielding error in a game already tied after Boston relievers couldn't hold a two-run, two-out lead in the 10th inning of what should have been the game that gave the Red Sox a World Series win.
		But considering the cursed history of the Red Sox — no World Series championship since 1918; Game 7 losses in 1946, '67 and '75 — there are many who remember the play as if the World Series trophy itself rolled through first baseman Bill Buckner's legs.
		The Red Sox have not returned to the World Series since.
