The Mets and Red Sox getting together always evokes memories of 1986 in Flushing. It's even more appropriate this year as the Mets steam toward the postseason. In their loftiest dreams, 2015 will end with the franchise's first World Series title since that magical season.
So the Mets were happy to show video of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series and their miracle comeback. They were happy to bring back fan favorite Mookie Wilson. The last-place Red Sox countered with centerfielder Mookie Betts, making it the first two-Mookie night in baseball history.
Friday night's game featured one comeback by each team and ended in extra innings.
