The fans who actually attended the game last night were gypped: they only got to watch 9 innings.
You are correct, the Mets were down to the final out and had two strikes in Game 6 of the 1986 Series, before the passed ball and the Bill Buckner goof allowed the Mets to win the game. Worst night of my life. Although many forget that was only Game 6 - the Sox had another chance to win the Series, and were actually ahead in Game 7 too, but lost. That was the night of my second wedding anniversary, and it was miserable.
