Mookie Wilson‘s dash to first base did not end the 1986 World Series and when he hit the “gets through Buckner” roller the New York Mets had already tied Game Six. Even so, it was the most famous play in Mets’ history, and probably will be forever.

The1986 Mets dominated the National League from beginning to end.
