Answers to New York Mets Game 6, 1986 World Series Trivia

Ready for the answers from the 1986 Game 6 World Series Mets/Red Sox Trivia.

1)  The person who said that quote about David Henderson was the great Vin Scully

2) The only Met in the game with multiple hits was World Series MVP Ray Knight. His second hit was one of the most clutch in New York Met history with two strikes in the bottom of the tenth

3) Three Red Sox had three hits in the game. One was not a surprise, the other two were. The non-surprise was Wade Boggs. The two surprises were second baseman Marty Barrett and shortstop, Spike Owen. That meant the Red Sox infield had nine hits in the game (First Baseman Bill Buckner was hitless--tough game all around for Buckner)

4) The Met player who led off the tenth with an out was Wally Backman

5) Dave Stapleton was the normal replacement for Bill Buckner at first base

6) Bruce Hurst of the Red Sox was likely to be the World Series MVP if the Red Sox won in six games

7) Rick Aguilera was the winning pitcher despite giving up two runs in the top of the tenth

8) The legendary singer who sang the National Anthem before Game 6 was Paul Simon
