Do you have a twitter? What does “don’t @ me” mean?

Also do you think if Wade Boggs had fielded that roller in game 6 of the ‘86 Series that he could have thrown out Ray Knight?

Since your comment wasn't directed to me, I won't address those first two questions but will take a shot at the third.

The '86 series is a famous one. It was between the Red Sox and the Mets. The game six play that I recall was the Bill Buckner error. A slow grounder rolled between his legs at First and that allowed the Mets to score and win the game, and then win the series in the 7th game.

If Buckner had made the play? I'm not sure; probably the Sox would have won the series right there.

That very famous play is not what I was talking about, I’m talking about an earlier play that is never mentioned.

With an 0-1 count Ray Knight hit a roller along the third base line, Boggs moved toward it but let it go foul (and Knight singled in a run on the next pitch), my question is if he charges it and fields it in fair territory would he have had a chance at getting Knight at first base? If he had that would have ended the series, if not then it would have been bases loaded for Mookie. If Buckner had made his play then the game would have gone to another inning as it was tied at that point.
