I was watching a video about worst ways teams have lost and after seeing the Buckner error I'm not sure if he makes the play he gets to the bag

before Mookie. Mookie was fast and Buckner was old and broken. He's rather far back from the bag and the pitcher Stanley was slow and behind Mookie running to first.

Obviously, we don't know what would have happened. Does Mookie beat out the grounder? Do the Mets have another hit in them to get the run home from 3rd if Mookie's safe? We'll never know but I think Mookie beats Buckner and the pitcher to the bag.

Responses:

There was no reason for Buckner to be in the game at that time. Manager McNamara knew he was hurt but for some reason did not put in a defensive - King of Oklahoma Dec 30, 11:39 2
- He had him in since he had been so vital through the years, he deserved to be there for the title. - Will Hunting Dec 30, 11:40 1
  - We agree it's not on Buckner. Checked and it was only his 3rd year with the BoSox. He had played for the Dodgers longer and Cubs longer. - King of Oklahoma Dec 30, 11:48
This would be excellent offseason r/baseball content. -- nm - Reagen Dec 30, 10:47
the problem with booting it (even if Wilson had been safe) is Ray Knight only gets to third -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 30, 10:46 1
- That's why I said do the Mets have another hit in them to get him home from 3rd. I don't know but we know momentum had swung their way and that leads - Krusty Dec 30, 10:51
