Offered is the 1986 Sports Emmy Award presented to television camera man Phil Cantrell of NBC Sports, for “Outstanding Individual Achievement for Technical Team – Remote” for the 1986 World Series telecast. That legend is engraved in gold letters on the black metal plaque on the base. The 16-inch high gold metal trophy sits on a 7½-inch circumference gold and black metal base, with “The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences” engraved on the top of the base.

The 1986 World Series pitted the New York Mets against the Boston Red Sox. The Mets won the Series in the seventh game, after overcoming a deficit of two runs with two outs and no one on base in the bottom of the 10th inning of Game 6. This was a game in which the Red Sox were twice one strike away from victory and known for the famous error by Boston's first baseman Bill Buckner after their lead had already been blown. NBC's broadcast of Game 7 (which went up against a Monday Night Football game between the Washington Redskins and New York Giants on ABC) garnered a Nielsen rating of 38.9 and a 55 share, making it the highest-rated single World Series game to date.
