Fun fact. In 1968, Yaz was the only player in the AL to hit over .300.

Fun fact 2. Yaz was the last player to win the Triple Crown (1967) until 2012.

He is still the only player since 1937 to achieve the Quadruple Crown, which includes most hits.

As a die hard Yankee fan, I can't say I'm proud to have gotten them all right. As a die hard baseball fan, maybe I'm a little proud.

Correct. This needs to be reworded. Had Buckner not made the error, the game would have still been tied. His error didn't cost them the World Series -- they had already blown the lead at that point. If anything, Stanley cost them the World Series.

His error put a runner across home plate with a tie score in the bottom half of an extra inning.

Game thus over.

I agree this question needs to be reworded or eliminated. We'll never know what might have happened if the wild pitch had not occurred. We'll never know what might have happened if the error had not occurred. What we do know is that the Red Sox as a team lost Game 6 and then Game 7 to lose the Series. Let poor Bill Buckner rest in peace.

The question has been reworded, thanks. I was always under the impression that the Red Sox were ahead and would have won Game 6 if not for Buckner's error. I didn't know that the game was tied.

The wording is now perfect, QM. Anybody who pins the loss on Buckner simply did not watch the game. Every Red Sox fan on this planet was already inconsolable before Mookie Wilson ever hit that ball. Up by 2 runs, nobody on, two outs...1 more out and the Sox were champions. Then the Mets rose from the dead thanks to Calvin Schiraldi and Bob Stanley. Once it was tied, Boston had already thrown a sure World Series title away. Buckner's error was just the final small piece of the collapse.

His former teammates are liars. No way he drank 50 pounds of beer on a cross-country flight.

"Rumored to be able". In my opinion, the rumors are almost certainly not true.

Polar Park in Worcester is indeed on the way to host the WooSox. Pawtucket and Providence couldn't move fast enough on an upgrade or replacement for McCoy Stadium. Thank goodness for Route 146.

One of my proudest Twitter accomplishments is the fact that I've been personally blocked by Curt Schilling. I used to be so taken with him – until he stopped winning baseball games and started talking about topics other than Everquest.

1918 = Babe Ruth traded, the last World Series win for the Red Sox forever. 1986 = one strike to go to win the Series, on simple ground ball to throw to first, Buckner f's it up. 1918+86=2004, the year the Sox steamrolled all their division final games and the Series to win. 86 years, not 85. If you want to say "calendar years", one could counter with actually a little longer than 86 years because the Series was later in the year 2004 than 1918.

Oh my. More errors than Chuck Knoblauch. I'm sure you mean last World Series win in what seemed forever. But your memory of 1986 needs a lot of work. Calvin Schiraldi and Bob Stanley both needed just one more out to end Game 6 and therefore the Series. When the ball was hit to Buckner, the score was tied. If he doesn't commit an error, the game continues and who knows what happens. But a "simple ground ball" was not going to win the Series for the Red Sox. And if Red Sox pitching didn't fail again in Game 7, the Curse would have been broken 18 years earlier.

Spot on, UCF. Get Kevin Mitchell out. Get Gary Carter out. Get Ray Knight out. Don't throw a wild pitch. And you're WS champs.

You have the triple-A affiliate listed as the Pawtucket Red Sox which as of this year is not accurate. They are now located in Worcester, Massachusetts.
