to bat and hits a slow grounder that, in any other
game, would have been an easy out. But this was
the World Series where
the pressure of
the moment or
the Curse of
the Bambino caused
the slow grounder to trickle through Boston Red Sox's first baseman Bill Buckner's legs allowing
the winning run in. Buckner's error, one of
the most lasting and memorable moments in baseball history, forced
the series to a seventh
game where
the New York Mets finally laid claim to their second World Series championship since 1969. This fantastic 8x10 photograph of
the error that saved a franchise was hand signed by both Mookie Wilson and Bill Buckner and includes a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
