Cruz's mis-play will go down in baseball history along with Bill Buckner's error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

I was at game 5 of the ALCS in Anaheim(one of the best games ever)...the Red Sox "used up all their wishes" just to get to the WS that year.

And let's face it...Buckner's fate ended up a lot better than Donnie Moore's.

“...the Red Sox “used up all their wishes” just to get to the WS that year.”

Nobody remembers that, or that they weren't supposed to have a chance against the Mets (who in turn were lucky to have got past the Astros in the NLCS).

“Buckner's fate ended up a lot better than Donnie Moore's.”

Red Sox Nation was more forgiving then - Billy Buck got a standing O his first AB the next season.
