There are many but if I had to narrow down the one for me is

The error by Bill Buckner in the ‘86 World Series

This is the one that came to mind immediately for me.

I disagree on Buckner. It's only in hindsight that it became so momentous. If the Red Sox had won game 7. and they had a 3-0 lead, it would have been a footnote.

I couldn’t disagree with this more having watched it as a young Mets fan but to each his own.

No question it was an epic game and comeback, or from the opposite side an epic blown win. But it didn't end anything, the way Mazeroski and Thomson did. I wasn't even thinking about it watching game 7 and I suspect not a lot of other people were either.

Strange there's no love for Disco demolition or ten cent beer night.
Very memorable, if not the most pleasant memories.

I may be a bit odd in enjoying promotions gone awry.

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.
