I have never cared about baseball and haven't been to a game in 5+ years (I would go just to spend time with friends and family) but I have been binging your videos today and really enjoy them. There's a lot of interesting things about the sport but because the game has never connected with me, just watching a game or hearing friends talk about the games doesn't do anything for me. Hearing all these stories and learning about the game is actually really interesting. I doubt I'll become a big fan/viewer of the games but it does make me appreciate the sport a lot more and I may check out Rockies games every now and then

He caught a ton of abuse for the play, but he did what he could. I can still see the look on his face when it happened. Ugh.

    I was watching the game when the Buckner error happened. He was in a crouch stance 20 feet behind the bag. He also had the worst knees in Baseball. On the other hand, Mookie Wilson was one of the fastest runners in Baseball and by the time the ball reaches Buckner, Mookie was nearly halfway down the line running full speed. I've seen the replay 50 times since then and my opinion has not changed. Even if Buckner fields the ball cleanly there's no way he beats Mookie to the bag. And yet he's had to live with the shame of that error for all these years. Man, talk about cruel fate.

We just love rooting for our team. But if your teams wins or loses, it doesn’t matter. You’re going to wake up, brush your teeth, maybe take a shower, make breakfast, and start your day at work. Your life will go on. Sending death threats for a human being making a mistake, something ALL OF US do, is what an unstable person does.

    I was watching the '86 series as a BoSox fan, of course. My friend and I were shocked that Buckner went back into the game on defense in the bottom of that fateful inning. The Sox had a backup fist baseman known for his defense, but to our chagrin, he didn't come into the game.
    That's baseball...a game of inches, bad hops, and missed opportunities.

      That was the case with Steve Bartman. I was only 10 years old, but I remember SportsCenter egging on about that play on repeat, and I felt ashamed of ESPN painting him as a scapegoat
      Bartman didn't deserve that... Maybe 1%, but the guy had nothing to do with the outcome.

      This video represents sloppy, sloppy work. Typical of BDE.
      As a Met fan, I can point out the falsehoods he published here _just_ about the Mets:
      1. Daniel Murphy is royalty in this town. After his 2015 WS error, everyone noted that Murph was the one who got them to the World Series. Without Murphy, the Mets would have lost the NLDS to the Dodgers, even before he hit four more HRs in the NLCS against the Cubs. Perhaps a couple of yahoos tweeted something stupid, but that was _not_ the general opinion in NY. Not then, not now.
      2. Who the hell is "Rich" Aguilera? Really?? Rick Aguilera had a wonderful career, including winning another World Series while closing games for the 1991 Twins. You don't know his name??
      3. In G6 of the 1986 World Series, Bob Stanley did not "immediately" throw a wild pitch. It was something like the fifth pitch of the at bat.
      4. No, Mookie Wilson was not followed in the order by Mookie Wilson. It was not the "next batter" who grounded to first under Buckner's glove. It was the same person who had avoided the wild pitch.
      (5. A technicality saves BDE on the next mistake. He said that the next day the Red Sox lost the World Series to the Mets. But Game 7 was rained out, and postponed by one day, a major story at the time because it allowed Boston to bring back Bruce Hurst (who'd owned the Mets) to start G7 instead of Oil Can Boyd (who'd gotten smacked around). BDE gets lucky on this one, because G6 ended around 12:30 AM, so technically it was the "next" day, 47 hours later (11:27 pm).)
      Bonus: At times in this video, BDE makes it sound as if every fan in Chicago wanted to assault Bartman, and every Boston fan Buckner, everyone in St. Louis Denkinger, etc. I would imagine that the physical threats came from .00000000001% of the population. Every one of those noobs should be locked up, but should the whole town be blamed? Really??

    From what I know, the Red Sox put Bill at 1st base at that point in the game because he was a baseball veteran and it was near the end of his career anyway (so like an act of appreciation for all that he did in his career). Apparently, the man was so hated in Boston after the game he had to move himself and his family to Idaho because of the backlash. He would stay there for the remainder of his life btw. Just remember that when you watch back the footage on that ground ball mistake Buckner made, you are essentially watching the worst day of someone's life second by second.

      * Inaccurate. BDE makes many, many mistakes.
      This video represents sloppy, sloppy work. Typical of BDE.
      As a Met fan, I can point out the falsehoods he published here _just_ about the Mets:
      1. Daniel Murphy is royalty in this town. After his 2015 WS error, everyone noted that Murph was the one who got them to the World Series. Without Murphy, the Mets would have lost the NLDS to the Dodgers, even before he hit four more HRs in the NLCS against the Cubs. Perhaps a couple of yahoos tweeted something stupid, but that was _not_ the general opinion in NY. Not then, not now.
      2. Who the hell is "Rich" Aguilera? Really?? Rick Aguilera had a wonderful career, including winning another World Series while closing games for the 1991 Twins. You don't know his name??
      3. In G6 of the 1986 World Series, Bob Stanley did not "immediately" throw a wild pitch. It was something like the fifth pitch of the at bat.
      4. No, Mookie Wilson was not followed in the order by Mookie Wilson. It was not the "next batter" who grounded to first under Buckner's glove. It was the same person who had avoided the wild pitch.
      (5. A technicality saves BDE on the next mistake. He said that the next day the Red Sox lost the World Series to the Mets. But Game 7 was rained out, and postponed by one day, a major story at the time because it allowed Boston to bring back Bruce Hurst (who'd owned the Mets) to start G7 instead of Oil Can Boyd (who'd gotten smacked around). BDE gets lucky on this one, because G6 ended around 12:30 AM, so technically it was the "next" day, 47 hours later (11:27 pm).)
      Bonus: At times in this video, BDE makes it sound as if every fan in Chicago wanted to assault Bartman, and every Boston fan Buckner, everyone in St. Louis Denkinger, etc. I would imagine that the physical threats came from .00000000001% of the population. Every one of those noobs should be locked up, but should the whole town be blamed? Really??
      Anyway...if you make that many mistakes regarding just one team in this 20+ minute video, how many more errors did _you_ make? Such is TH-cam.
      Do your homework, BDE.
