So no, this is not breaking news by any means, but always intriguing to hear, especially as the Mets are about to commemorate the 1986 World Series Champions from May 27-29.
Both Wilson and Buckner contributed to this championship win three decades ago. It’s a moment that Mets fans will never forget. It was the bottom of the 10th inning of Game 6. Wilson hit a grounder towards first. Instead of the easy out it should have been, the ball rolled through Buckner’s legs, allowing Ray Knight to score.
This doesn’t sound like the start of a beautiful relationship, does it?
