25 years ago today, Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully uttered these three little words. Mets' fans all over New York, including myself, age 9, went crazy. Just moments prior, Boston was leading Game 6 of the 1986 Series 5-3, with two out and no one on base. They were on the verge of their first title since 1918.
Then it happened.
Gary Carter singles. Kevin Mitchell singles, Ray Knight singles home Carter. Bob Stanley uncorks a wild pitch to Mookie Wilson that allows Mitchell to come home and tie it at 5. Then it's Mookie's "little roller up along first..." Bill Buckner watches it go through his legs. Mets win. See you in Game 7.
No matter how many times I watch it, or talk about it, it will never not make me smile.
