Wrong!

In bottom of the 10th inning, in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, the New York Mets were just one strike away from watching their championship dreams slip away. With two men on, Mookie Wilson stepped up to the plate and hit a slow grounder that, in any other game, would have been an easy out. But this was the World Series, and the pressure of the moment (or perhaps the Curse of the Bambino!) caused the slow grounder to roll right through Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner’s legs allowing the winning run in. Buckner’s error, one of the most lasting and memorable moments in baseball history, forced the series to a seventh game where the New York Mets finally laid claim to the World Series championship.
