Game Six of the 1986 World Series between the Mets and The Red Sox was the greatest game in baseball history. I don't think it will ever be matched. Of course, all of us Met fans know the key to victory was the women in the second row behind home plate who kept moving her arms in a circular motion during every pitch (the greatest fan of all-time).
The only piece I felt bad about was making Bill Buckner into a goat. Sure, he made a bad play but the Mets had already tied the game. To me, it would have been much worse if he had let in the tying run. Also, it overshadowed what was a great career as a hitter. I hope the same does not become true for Wes Welker.
Anyway for all of us Met lovers out there, here are some trivia questions from Game 6 of the 1986 World Series (no cheating)
1) Who said after David Henderson hit the go ahead Home Run for the Red Sox in the Top of the tenth, "It was so quiet in New York, you can almost hear Boston?"
2) Who was the only Met player with multiple hits in the game?
3) Three Red Sox players had three hits in Game 6. Can you name any of them?
4) Many of us remember Keith Hernandez making the second out of the bottom of the tenth for the Mets. Do you remember who made the first out that inning for the Mets?
5) Who was the normal defensive replacement for Bill Buckner at first base in late innings of games?
6) Who was scheduled to be World Series MVP if the Red Sox had won in six games?
7) Who won the game for the Mets despite giving up two runs in the top of the 10th?
8) Who sang the National Anthem before Game 6?
