NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — He played a central role in one of the most famous plays in baseball history.
Mookie Wilson hit the ball that slipped through Bill Buckner’s legs. That enabled the Mets to win Game 6 and, ultimately, the 1986 World Series.
The players are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their title this weekend at Citi Field.
WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell asked Wilson if he ever gets tired of talking about the Buckner play.
“It never gets tired because the questions always come from a different person and a different point of view,” said Wilson, who spoke to veterans Friday at the VA Hospital in Turtle Bay.
