I was watching an MLB Network “Seasons” entry the other day about the 1986 Season. Of course, that makes sense given that was the year the New York Mets won the World Series after the Red Sox were down to their last strike twice in Game 6 and down by 2. Then of course, they hit three singles before Mookie Wilson hit a bouncer to first base that Bill Buckner misplayed for the winning run to score and the Mets won Game 7 for the championship. As the footage played out, Vin Scully quoted one of my favorite aspects about baseball: “You can’t run the clock out in baseball.
