Captain Murica Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Bill Buckner. Not really......!@#$ him. Mookie would've beaten him to the base anyways! One of the few things I can hang over the Boston fan bases head being a Mets fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that Mookie would have been safe at first the runner at third (don't remember who that was) would not have scored the winning run had Buckner not booted it.

Ray Knight Yeah was only game 6 though, I mean people remember that moment but still had another game to make amends. No doubt, that turned the tide for the entire series.

Yeah, it was. Also, won the WS MVP and batted close to .400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Charles Barkley (always catching flack from Shaq and Kenny for never winning an NBA title, for a guy at 6'5 and be the top 10 in rebounds at the time he retired, he was a beast), Carlos Beltran (looking at strike 3 in the NLCS, that Mets team was good and was missing Pedro and El Duque who throughout the season their 1 and 2 in the rotation, as a Mets fan I can tell you the fan base will never forget him looking at strike 3) Ken Griffey Jr (never winning a WS and injuries derailing his career during his prime, he would've broken Aaron's record IMO), and I would watch Yankees games when they played the Mariners just to watch him. I thought about Griffey too, specifically because injuries held him back from having even more outrageous numbers. I didn't say him because he ended up with highest Hall of Fame voting percentage of all time. Just imagine what he would have done if he didn't lose about 3-4 seasons worth of games.

Mark Vader Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ray Knight Yeah was only game 6 though, I mean people remember that moment but still had another game to make amends. No doubt, that turned the tide for the entire series. Kirk Gibson's Home Run did the same thing. That moment did not end the series, but the A's never recovered from it.

He would've had well over 3,000 hits, close to maybe 800 home runs, 2,200+ RBIs, and probably 1-2 more Glode Gloves making it 12 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Tom Brady. Must be awful to know your whole life is defined by cheating and live in denial. Same with Lance Armstrong... But he came clean. They both make Baby Jesus & me weep w/sympathy. Give it a couple of years after he retires and the real story may come out Charles Barkley (always catching flack from Shaq and Kenny for never winning an NBA title, for a guy at 6'5 and be the top 10 in rebounds at the time he retired, he was a beast), Carlos Beltran (looking at strike 3 in the NLCS, that Mets team was good and was missing Pedro and El Duque who throughout the season their 1 and 2 in the rotation, as a Mets fan I can tell you the fan base will never forget him looking at strike 3) Ken Griffey Jr (never winning a WS and injuries derailing his career during his prime, he would've broken Aaron's record IMO), and I would watch Yankees games when they played the Mariners just to watch him. Met fan as well. Beltran was all right as a Met overall. I don't hold a grudge on him for striking out against Wainwright. What bothered me more about him was years later when he signed with the Yankees, his first action was to talk about how bad the Mets treated him. That was without seemingly provoked into it.

Just turns out he made it worse by running his mouth when he went to the cross-town rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember exactly which kitchen I was working in when he hit that. People had brought a TV into the restaurant. No iPhones back then. The place went nuts!!!

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Denis Savard. Great player, rotten team. Great find! I agree. And stand-up guy that got dumped for Coach Q because dirtball Kane was being dirtball Kane. Another gentleman I feel bad for is Gilbert Perreault... Never brought that Cup home.

KD in CA Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Carlos Beltran (looking at strike 3 in the NLCS, that Mets team was good and was missing Pedro and El Duque who throughout the season their 1 and 2 in the rotation, as a Mets fan I can tell you the fan base will never forget him looking at strike 3) . Yup. Guy was a terrific player for years in Shea but that called 3d strike is all anyone remembers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Tim Duncan is a name that comes to mind. He never really made the highlight reals or made for any good sound bites, but he was the rock that made the Spurs the dynasty it was. NaVarro Barman is the most underrated player in the league right now imo. He's stuck in San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
