As a Met fan, I unfortunately have to agree with Peter. Had Mets not won the series Buckner's error would be in the same historical dustbin as Endy Chavez's catch in 2006 NLCS Game 7. A great moment but not historically significant at all.

Right. At the time, I was like oh shit, I hope Hurst has his good stuff tomorrow.

Don't see Johnny Vander Meer's final 3 outs of his second of 2 consecutive (back to back) no-hitters, on the first-ever night game at Ebbets Field. My attention span and eyesight aren't what they once were, so maybe someone already mentioned this. Incidentally, I have Red Barber's re-creation of the radio call. I also have a re-creation of the 1926 World Series game 7 (complete game), when Alex came in and struck out Lazzeri.

I would love to hear that.

Here is where I bought my copy of the 1926 World Series game 7 radio broadcast re-creation. I then just ripped the 2 CD-ROMs off to my hard drive. The whole game is individual innings.

I know this is not a game moment, but I would have to say Lou Gehrig's farewell speech. What a brave man.
