PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Temple coach Matt Rhule was only 11 the first time he left a stadium drenched in beer and responsible for an amazin' win.
Long before Rhule drew up X's and O's, he called the shots in favor of his beloved New York Mets.
World Series. 1986. Game 6. With the Mets down to their last out and the tying run on third, Rhule ordered up one more curse on the Boston Red Sox.
"How about a wild pitch!" he shouted from the concourse.
Sure enough, Bob Stanley's next pitch scooted toward the backstop and sent Kevin Mitchell scurrying home with the tying run.
