I was 26 years old, my sister's wedding was that afternoon, then later that night, the party spills over to my house, everyone is around the TV screaming and yelling, and this happens. One of the best all around days of my life.. Never forget it.
At least he made a perfect landing. As a young kid, it was the first World Series I watched on TV and I just assumed this type of craziness was part of the World Series action.
I attempted to skydive onto the field in Game 5 of the 2016 W/S. Pilot got confused, and I ended up sticking my landing behind 2nd base at Comiskey Park.
Was watching this game in a bar in Newport R.I. with my girlfriend. At the time we were active skydivers and had jumped at various airports throughout the northeast. When the guy landed and turned briefly towards the camera, we both recognized him. "That's Sergio!" I yelled to the crowd, who looked at me like I was crazy. Mike Sergio spent about two months in jail for contempt for not naming the pilot of the plane that flew him over the busiest air traffic control sector in the world. BTW, I know who the pilot is, and even jumped out of that very same plane a few years earlier. Statute of limitations has passed, so they can't arrest me.
Nice bullshit story.Everything you said is in Mike Sergio's Wikipedia entry. And here i thought you were sharing an inside story. Geez the things that people will do for attention. Here is part of the entry.... "Sergio spent a short time in jail because he would not reveal the name of the pilot who flew him over Queens that evening. Senator Al D'Amato later intervened on his behalf, and Sergio was released".
Joe Buck: "We apologize for the delay. I have never seen anything that stupid and disgusting in my life. I am ashamed of what I have seen." Meanwhile FOX doesn't show anything going on We need TV like it was in 86, way to uptight now!
This is an incident in a pre-9/11 world. People were amused by this show in 1986. In a post 9/11 world people would not be amused at all. This man would not have been treated so nicely by security in a post 9/11 world. He would've been tackled by security to say the least.
What great lines from Vin.... The sheer genius to come up with some solid one liners off the cuff during a live broadcast..... Vin really was a great broadcaster... Great voice as well.....
I was reminded of this on SNY a few minutes ago. Hadn't thought about it in a while. I was watching the game, either at home, or in a home electronics store in a mall, and thought it was the most epic thing EVER.
Oh please blame the coach for pulling Clemens, and Stanley and Shiraldi for blowing Game 6. The game was already tied, and if you watch the replay even if Buckner fielded it Mookie beats either Buckner or the pitcher to the bag. One of the most ridiculous things ever is blaming Buckner for that loss. Stanley and Shiraldi were pathetic at best out there.
@@MM-yn9db there were a lot of contributing factors, but if he doesnt make that error the game continuesso I wouldn't call it rediculous. Whats rediculous is calling the manager a coach.
@@johnp82 They were done. Period. And another thing ridiculous is calling McNamara a manager, or my error using coach. Clemens was pitching great, including 1-2-3 in the 7th, and McNamara pulls him in the 8th? Doesn't even let him face one batter? That's called "mismanaging". The big play was Kevin Mitchell going to 3rd on Knights's single. Then he scored on the wild pitch, and Knight went to second on that pathetic pitch by Stanley. Huge play. And you blame Buckner??? Buckner is #4 on the blame list, yet NO ONE talks about the top 3 that blew the game. Get some perspective please, Buckner was a great player and a class act and did NOT deserve the abuse he got.
@@MM-yn9db First of all, calm down. How is Buckner #4 on the blame list? The other errors and mistakes in the game didn't lose the game. Buckner's error directly lost the game. And McNamara is a manager, that's not rediculous.
It kinda poetic that this Mets fan parachuted down while Buckner was at bat considering what would happen about 9 innings later and how the series eventually concluded. It's like the parachuter was a harbinger of ill fortune for Mr. Buckner.
Just another example how much fun the 70's and 80's were. Everybody laughed and had a good time with it. Fast forward to 2018 and the country is sensitive and uptight as can be.
Wrong the war on drugs started in the 70s and didn’t reach its peak til the 90s which was filled with big government regulation and way more uptight. The 80s was about deregulation and probably the last “simple” decade America had. Since the 90s society has been getting more complex and complicated.
I was at this game and I was responsible for the camera guy getting that shot. I was sitting in the last seat in the last row in the upper right deck. As I was sitting there, a cameraman knelt besides me in the aisle. As he was filming, I noticed something in the sky. As it got closer I could see the parachutist getting closer. I tapped the cameraman on the shoulder. He got annoyed and made a gesture for me to leave him alone. I insisted and yelled to him, "there's a guy parachuting into the stadium!!". He finally turned and got the shot you see here.
You can never do that today. If it happened today, the dude would've been tackled or shot. It was such a different time back then. Look how calmly he was escorted off field by the cops AND EVERYONE LOVED IT!
Thank god I was a kid during these last few years before America changed . The way the crowd reacted and Ron Darling giving the guy a five was just the way we lived back in the 80’s Have fun don’t worry and enjoy life ! I miss the 80’s …
I was there. I was 9 years old. My dad and I were with our neighbors who were rabid Mets fans, we were sitting in the loge 3rd baseline. I’m a yankee fan myself, but have always been willing to watch the Sox lose. I remember seeing this with my own little eyes. What a series!
I was at home watching 10 minutes away. This was the best I have ever seen in my life...wow the Mets could never lose after that distraction. Let's Go Mets.
I'm not sure but I vaguely remember the Mets being behind when this happened. Not sure what inning it was. But it did seem to provide a spark and the rest is history. And the noise of the fans during this incident speaks for itself.
vince was the best ,and if not for his call of the game this would have not have taken on a another life yr after yr ..if you ever heard the mets call on the game,possibly ralph kiner it was like nothing big happened
Fox just showed this game today. I had forgotten all about it until this afternoon. What I did remember is John McNamara not using Dave Stapleton as a defensive replacement for Bill Buckner late in the game thereby making me and countless other Sox fans wait until 2004 to finally see them take it all. Congrats to the Mets 34 years later.
I was a young child but I remember this vividlY and my Dads reaction of excitement. The Reaction today however would be the exact opposite ... Television cameras also would have never shown it and perhaps the stadium would have been evacuated and this person would have been charged with Federal crimes .
It was an omen for the ball that went between Buckner's legs that caused the Mets to win; the count was 1-0 to Buckner right when the guy parachuted down!
7 years later another parachute adrenaline junkie dropped into Caesars Palace in Las Vegas during a championship fight between Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe. He missed the actual ring and instead landed on the ropes after which he was mobbed by the audience. This guy landed beautifully into Shea stadium with that beautiful go Mets banner.
Damn!!! If that happened in 2022 they would have evacuated the whole stadium in 1986 they just brush it off like nothing can we please go back to 1986 The world was a much better and simpler place
Michael Sergio, who parachuted into Game Six of the 1986 World Series at New York's Shea Stadium, is fined $500 and sentenced to 100 hours of community service.
From the NY Daily News article the next day: "Less than charmed were the cops who hustled Sergio underneath the stadium before charging him with criminal trespass, reckless endangerment and “anything else we can think of.”
Like everyone else said, this was definitely a different era. Nowadays, the networks probably would’ve cut to commercial and this guy would’ve been tackled and very physically arrested. I like how everyone cheers and the cops simply escort him off the field. No harm done. Play ball.
"That's about the only way to beat the traffic in this town." Classic.
