A ticket from the unforgettable Game 6 rally that kept the 1986 New York Mets alive in the World Series.
Why This Ticket Matters
On October 25, 1986, the Boston Red Sox entered the bottom of the 10th inning at Shea Stadium leading the Mets 5–3 and standing one strike from a championship.
With two outs and nobody on base, New York mounted an extraordinary rally. After the tying run scored on a wild pitch, Mookie Wilson’s ground ball went through first baseman Bill Buckner’s legs, allowing Ray Knight to score the winning run in a 6–5 Mets victory.
The Mets still had to win Game 7, but Game 6 became one of baseball’s defining reversals of fortune. This ticket represents admission to the moment most closely associated with the 1986 World Series.
