This was in 1986 when the Red Sox were very good and went to the World Series (only to lose to the Mets after they had it *almost* in the bag!).

You must be referring to that useless Red Sox first basemen who let the world Series winning out roll, roll I tell you, between his legs.

The curse of the Bambino was strong back then

You mean Billy Buckner.

Yeah, the joke later was:

Did you here Billy Buckner was almost hit by a bus?

No! What happened? Is he OK?

Yeah, he’s fine. Bus went right between his legs!

Seriously, though, the real goat was Bob Stanley, the relief pitcher. All he needed was 3 outs. He got two, and then—bam! He throws a wild pitch. Mets come back and tie it. Buckner’s debacle was later in the game...

Buckner. His name is a swear word in Fenway.
