Craig ThomasHOST
Uh, I was 11 when that happened.
Craig ThomasHOST
It reminded me of ga- it was that game six Mookie Wilson-
Josh RadnorHOST
Yeah
Craig ThomasHOST
... ground ball energy, and it was just, like, magic.
Jeff SniderHOST
I, I suggested that a cousin's death may have led to a bereavement list, and I want to clarify that a cousin does not qualify.
Jeff SpiegelHOST
Unless it's a Mookie Wilson situation and the cousin is also a sibling.
Jeff SniderHOST
Yikes.
Jeff SniderHOST
Okay.
Mike SilvaHOST
Lenny Dykstra could have been, but we all know what happened there.
Mike SilvaHOST
Mookie Wilson was a beautiful player, but he's not Carlos Beltran.
Steve KeenHOST
No.
Steve KeenHOST
He was a component player.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Tim Conroy, he just could not find the plate.
Phil AbramsonHOST
He walked Mookie Wilson and Kevin Mitchell, and then with two outs, the Cardinals intentionally walked Gary Carter to load the bases.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Bad call, because Conroy then threw a wild pitch, and Mookie ran home with a tying run.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Next, Conroy walked Darryl Strawberry for his fourth walk of the inning, once again loading the bases, and his night was done.

Phil AbramsonHOST
The Mets may have clinched a division, but the Phillies were still giving them some September fits.

for having some just unbelievable years while pitching for this New York Mets team.
Marty BrennamanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's having a fine year with the Reds in 81, six wins and a loss with a .208 ERA.
Marty BrennamanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And he's ready to face the center fielder and leadoff batter, rookie Mookie Wilson.
Marty BrennamanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Here's a pitch to him, and he shows the butt, takes it away, strike one.
JoshHOST
Game six became one of baseball's most famous finishes.
JoshHOST
Boston was one strike away from winning the championship before the Mets rallied, capped by Mookie Wilson's ground ball going through Bill Buckner's legs-
PhilHOST
Oh
JoshHOST
... at first base.
John SaponaroHOST
can it be that simple you guys can't we celebrate a milestone for a player who was here who was great for the new york mets and you can clap and you can give him an ovation that he deserves when he first gets back and then he gets in the batter's box and for the rest of the series it's business as usual can't we do that can't we acknowledge the fact that francisco lindor who while he didn't get his 300th home run in this series was also going for his 300th home run this series And his ovations were not nearly as loud, were not nearly as fervent as the visiting player.
John SaponaroHOST
Can we talk about the fact that A.J. Ewing stole his 24th base, which tied him or may have overtaken Mookie Wilson's rookie record for steals in a season as a rookie? Well, he didn't get the ovation.
John SaponaroHOST
No, because it's not Pete Alonzo.
John SaponaroHOST
I mean, the way the Mets fans have treated Pete Alonzo, you would think that he was the reincarnation of Babe Ruth.
Jim BeebeHOST
Ball goes through his legs.
Jim BeebeHOST
Eighth inning, Mookie Wilson ends up scoring.
Jim BeebeHOST
Mets take game six.
Jim BeebeHOST
They come in game seven.
Phil AbramsonHOST
He walked Lenny Dykstra to lead off the game, and Keith Hernandez followed up with a two-run home run, Keith's 12th of the year.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Next, Gary Carter singled, and two batters later, Mookie Wilson also hit a two-run home run.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Just like that, the Mets led four to nothing.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Valdez settled down at that point, but Ron Darling was excellent, throwing seven innings of shutout ball.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Then in the bottom of the seventh, the Mets tacked on two more.
Phil AbramsonHOST
With Wally on third and Keith on second, Strawberry hit a sacrifice fly, scoring one, and Mookie Wilson got a base hit, scoring another.
Phil AbramsonHOST
Finally, in the eighth, the Expos did manage one runoff of Darling, as Wallace Johnson singled, advanced to third, and scored on the Tim Raines RBI single.
Phil AbramsonHOST
But Darling just allowed the one run over five hits through eight innings in this game, which was good enough for Darling's 13th win of the year, and Roger McDowell closed out the game in the ninth.
