I loved Buckners guest appearance on "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

He gets Mookie to sign a ball for him. "He owes me a favor." Loses the ball out a window, "That was a bad throw!" And finally makes it good by catching a falling baby. Nice to see he has a sense of humor about it.

People forget that the cubs completely fell apart after that foul ball. Alex Gonzalez forgot that he owned a glove. And Dusty Baker left Prior out there to rot, which he has a long history of doing throughout his career as a manager.

Love how there is ZERO bs and you get RIGHT to the point, refreshing!

Babe Ruth was not running on his own. It was reported at the time that the batter, Meusel, called for a hit & run and then proceeded to swing & miss, What's more, Meusel had two costly misplays earlier in the game. It is Bob Meusel that should be remembered as the goat of the series.

3:28 What's ironic there is that Gibson faced this same situation in the 2011 NLDS. Game 1, 8th inning, Brewers lead DBacks 2-1, Braun just doubled and Prince Fielder up with first base open, 1 out. Gibson let Ian Kennedy pitch to Fielder, and after strike 1, where Prince smiled in disbelief that he was being pitched to, then hit a 2-run homer on the next pitch, and the Brewers won 4-1.

It’s great to watch a compilation of plays made by someone who is aware that baseball wasn’t invented in 1980. So many compilations have no awareness of baseball history before 1980. Great video!!!

As a Red Sox Fan since 1975 I remember game 6 of the 86 Series. I was watching it in an Airport Terminal at LaGuadia. I was flying back from FLA and was wearing my Sox Cap with my Dad (another lifelong Sox Fan) standing beside me. I remember watching Calvin Schiraldi looking like a dear in headlights. My Dad said "Get him out of there, he's doesn't want to be there". Then as Bob Stanley came out of the bullpen we both Scream "NOOOOOO" and it was then we knew it was over.

I can't help but smile everytime I see Sparky saying "Hey don't wanna walk you!!" It's like even Sparky knew it was a foolish move to pitch to Gibson there!!

For as many things as you mentioned for why it wasn't all Buckner's fault, you still missed one: Stanley didn't get off the mound to cover first base, and as mentioned before, Buckner's knees were shot. While the official scorer did say "Wilson reached on E3 (Ground Ball), Knight scores/unER", the proper scoring really should've been "Wilson infield single to 1B; Knight to 3B; Knight scores on E3 (Ground Ball)/unER".

How about in 2002, game six: Dusty Baker hands Russ Ortiz the World Series game ball, with 5 outs yet to record for the win. That arrogant move of premature celebration apparently fired up the Angels dugout, who staged an amazing comeback. As a Giants fan, it was literally one one of the worst nights of my life. Everyone knew there was no way SF was winning game 7.

Great job! Most of the time when I see the headline "BEST/WORST....IN HISTORY", they seem to think history began around 2000. You clearly covered all the big ones.

Man anytime someone mentions the 91 series the only thing I can think is "He's holding Gant's leg!"

@darrylcalhoun6315 3 years ago

I know it’s not the best but the ball bouncing off Jose Cansenco head for a home run is absolutely funny

@EdGloss 4 years ago

I'm a huge Mets fan and remember game 6 well. Sure Buckner errored but Schiraldi and Stanley had already blown the game.

@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace 4 years ago

Not "tragic" but one of the best blunders in MLB history was in 1962.. Marv Throneberry of the Mets hits what looks to be a triple.. but gets called out for missing second base. When Casey Stengal came out to argue, the Mets first base coach told him not to bother because Throneberry missed first base too!

The Tigers' win over the Padres in the 1984 World Series capped one of the most dominant seasons ever. Detroit won 19 of its first 21 games that year and never looked back. And RIP Vin Scully, who had the call on Gibson's HR over Gossage.

@pigalleycatemanresu7321 4 years ago

Strange that you did not even mention the name of the HOF "relief pitcher" in the 26 WS: Grover Cleveland Alexander. This game is better known for his strikeout of Tony Lazzeri to end the bottom of the 8th inning. He had pitched a complete game victory the day before, and was sleeping in the bullpen when called on to relieve with 2 out in the 8th. Ruth said he stole because Alexander was pitching so well, he thought he better get in scoring position.

@MrTee-hw7mp 3 years ago

Who would think that something as simple as a decoy throw to second base would still be talked about thirty years after the fact. In baseball, sometimes it’s the little things that make a huge difference.

@dustyledbetter6224 4 years ago

One of the funniest bloopers was from Jose Canseco’s head on May 26, 1993 causing a home run. Now that’s a blooper.

Appreciate your added perspective on these plays. Too many do not recall all of the events that surrounded #4 (Gonzalez) and #2 (Buckner). Cubs had many chances to make the Bartman event a non-factor and so many forget that the Buckner game was tied already at the time of the play and there was still a game 7 to be played. As a huge baseball fan, I was embarrassed not to have known the Ruth play though. Thanks for the video.
