Very nice. I happened to be a Mets fan living in Boston in '86. I will always remember Mookie Wilson's hit and Buckner's error. What I was wondering, and maybe this should be posted as a question is whether Buckner really shouldn't be blamed. Mookie was the fastest player on the Mets and I think Buckner took his eye off the ball because the pitcher (whose name I can't remember) hadn't run quickly enough to cover first or he ran just slow enough to cause Buckner to screw up the play.
I have my reasons but I became a Sox fan in 2002/2003, I didn't leave the Mets as much as they left me.
