Buckner's '86 WS glove & cleats up for auction

The glove and cleats worn by Bill Buckner on the day he made the most famous error in baseball history are hitting the auction block.

Goldin Auctions is auctioning off what was on the Boston Red Sox first basemen's hands and feet during Game 6 of the 1986 World Series when a Mookie Wilson ground ball rolled through his legs. The New York Mets eventually went on to win the game and the series.

The glove, a black MacGregor model mitt, was autographed by Buckner and inscribed to famous collector Barry Halper. Halper's collection was sold by Sotheby's in 1999.
