I was at a party and this game was playing in the background on a TV over the bar. By the 10th inning the party stopped and everyone, even the Yankees fans lol were cheering on the Mets. I still get choked up watching this many years later. One of the true great moments in sports and a reminder to never give up.
If I recall correctly (always in doubt), for two solid minutes there was absolutely no commentary...they just showed the stands and the fans. Gawd, I love this game.
Lifelong Phillies fan here but this was one of my earliest spots memories. Amazing game and series! I really enjoyed the "Once Upon a Time in Queen" 30-for-30 documentary as well. One thing I was a little annoyed by that the glossed over however was the rainout on what should have been the next day's game seven. This allowed McNamara to start Bruce Hurst on only three-days rest instead of going with Oil Can Boyd who would've normally been the scheduled hurler. Facinating to think what would have transpired had Game 7 gone off as regularly scheduled the following evening. Two possible scenarios that come to mind... 1) The Mets carry their momentum over from the previous night and bury Boston in a game that's never in doubt. 2) The enigmatic Oil Can pitches the game of his life - instead of a tiring-by-the-sixth-inning Bruce Hurst - and the Sox win the game + series.
my favorite Sports championship of all time. As good as this series was the national division series was just as good. I lived ate and slept baseball that year as 9 year old houston kid. when the mets beat my stros I was heart broken. But the mets red sox series was epic and VERY entertaining too.
It's amazing how many more views Game 7 has. People really sleep on Game 6, arguably the best Game 6 ever right there with CIN vs. BOS from the 1975 WS. This was the first WS for me as a kid and most dramatic game I've ever watched to this day.
@@dominickclaflin5295 Agreed. After looking at MLB Vault's numbers, it appears to be much more accurate than I originally presumed. Great channel, thanks.
This is actually Game 6 tho, not Game 7. But anyways, thanks for uploading these highlights, keep 'em comin', we've got a lot of times on our hands nowadays, for obvious reasons.... ;-) :-)
@@dominickclaflin5295 As soon as I saw that fella parachuting onto the field( Michael Sergio ), I said "he did that just as Game 6 was underway so this must be Game 6 instead of Game 7" so that's how it caught my attention. Anyways, no prob.... :-)
The killer in that inning was really Stanley’s WP that allowed the tying run to score. But I remember watching this game at a party and telling the folks there “Why is Bill Buckner still at first base? Where is Dave Stapleton?” Buckner was on his last legs that year and McNamara would routinely bring in Stapleton as a defensive replacement for him in close games in the 9th inning. Inexplicably, he did not do so this time. Some say McNamara wanted Buckner, who was beloved and respected by all, to be on the field as the Red Sox celebrated their championship. But no one will ever know. All I know is saying he should have been replaced…win first, then celebrate. No one on that Boston team, to their credit, ever blamed either Buckner or McNamara, and the Boston fans eventually forgave Buckner (now that they’ve won a few World Series, it’s probably easier, of course).
15:27 Mookie was such a team player. He doesn't stop at first and congratulate himself. He's so unselfish he forgets Knight's run will win the game so he runs for 2nd.
Mets just got there 7 game winning streak snapped and the Red Sox have a 6 game streak going. So New York has passed the baton to Boston. Maybe we will get Mets vs Red Sox World Series. That would be better than a boring Yankees vs Phillies one.
heres what i dont understand, i know alot of yankee fans that were rooting for the red sox to beat the mets. that made no sense at all to root for the red sox to end there curse. why give the red sox fans the satisfaction of rooting for the red sox, do you think there was one red sox fan in all of new england that was rooting for the yamkees to win any of the world series they were in, i think not
The mid-late 80s NY Mets were very high profile. And to a certain extent, the more glamorous of the two NY baseball teams at that time. That had to rub many Yankees fans (and George Steinbrenner?) the wrong way on so many levels. The NY Yankees WERE New York for so many years. And then to have this young, very talented, and brash team from Queens NY grabbing all the headlines? I can understand why Yankees fans were rooting for the Red Sox to beat them.
@@deanladue3151 why would they want to see the red sox break there curse for and why would any yankee give the satisfaction to any red sox fan by rooting for the red sox, let me ask you, do you think one red sox fan in all of new england rooted for the yankees in any of the world series they were in. i think not!!!!
@@deanladue3151 when the ball went under bill buckners legs and red sox then lost the world series yankee fans should of been jubilant and happy that the red sox lost and the curse of the bambino continued
Even if he gets the ball, Mookie could’ve feasibly beaten Buckner to first base given how fast he was. Ray Knight wouldn’t have scored, though, so it would’ve gone to another at-bat. Either way, the Mets had a good chance of winning regardless of what happened on that play.
Never understand why Johnson hit for Santana in the 4th and Strawberry in the 6th. That said, I think it took me three months to re-grow my stomach lining.
Came here prompted by a distant American relative. Jeepers, more jargon than a chemist's convention. I thought cricket was fully stocked with its own terminology, but baseball takes the biscuit. Base hit, a bit of English on it, fly ball, double play; I think I'll go back to Charlie Brown. 2 weird things immediately occur to me; the Red Sox wear white socks, and instead of cheering the crowd goes quiet when someone takes a catch. No disrepect intended; I come from a place of ignorance. These are just ignorant observations. Congrats on your xcomeback, Mets.

Why would Yankee fans cheer on the red sox who have always been their biggest rival? Yankee fans don't really hate Mets fans.
Tbf the Yankees fans probably didn't want the Red Sox to win
I remember watching this game as a kid while sitting on the living room floor late into the night…..good times
Same here dude 😎. I was a newly turned 12 year old boy
2 outs in the 10th inning down by 2 runs in an elimination WS game. Mets winning percentage was probably 1% yet they came back and won it. Amazing.
Would never happen again in a million years unfortunately 😭
And two strikes on Carter so yeah, 1% if not less
I will never get tired of watching mets '86 highlights
I always get chills watching this game 6..
If I recall correctly (always in doubt), for two solid minutes there was absolutely no commentary...they just showed the stands and the fans.
Gawd, I love this game.
Scully was the best.
Best game ever!
Love New York Mets Baseball forever 1986 World Series Champions 🇺🇲⚾💍❤️✝️
I remember watching this live on Tv with my dad, I was 8yo at the time. Great memories ☺️

Wtf your channel is perfect for this quarantine i love you so much even if you don’t get much views
Ventrick thanks, these videos are so much fun to make
Dominick Claflin Yeah keep them coming, stop putting them as “made for kids” though it’s annoying bc that removes permissions for the users
How time flies I remember this like it was yesterday
Clemens had a very generous strike zone lol coming from a red Sox fan
Thanks for putting this together

No, game 6 is the most popular game of the series. I don’t think it gets slept on

The most incredible ball game I ever saw
Nicely edited. Thanks for the memories.

That grounder to Buckner hit a clod or something and went from a high hopper to a skipper.
thats really intresting that clemens was going for his 4 straight championship. imagine if he got it done.....
I cry when I see this...
amazing

If you had to explain the game of baseball to someone who had never watched it, is there a better possible game for them to watch than this?

Even if Buckner gets the ball, they go to another inning.

Why do you always say sub to that football guy
He’s my brother. I’m trying to help him get subs

Seek God. Fear God. Repent. Put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ
Great comment for a video of baseball highlights.
Repent.
Nothing wrong with you is there …🤦🏻
What a bunch of nonsense!
