Many Met fans that are old enough to remember the moment, will probably be able to tell you where they were when veteran outfielder Mookie Wilson hit a ground ball toward first base that Bill Buckner failed to come up with in the late moments of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, which the Mets went on to win in Game 7. The 1986 World Series champion New York Mets set a franchise record of 108-54 en route to dispatching Boston, with the “Curse of the Bambino” rising to prominence once again after Buckner’s on-field mishap during Game 6 serving as proof that the curse was real.
