Game 6-10th Inning-1986 World Series-An Observation

Game 6 of the 1986 World Series in 10th Inning took place at Shea Stadium, which is now the site of the Citi Field Parking Lot. SNY was showing that Game 6 repeat after a Grapefruit League Contest with the Red Sox, where the Mets were creamed 8-2.

Now, I viewed a different Camera Angle, used by MLB Productions and from that angle, Red Sox Reliever Bob Stanley, CLEARLY uncorked a wild pitch in the at bat by William Heywood "Mookie" Wilson. Wilson was fouling off pitch after pitch, giving Stanley a battle at the plate.

Gedman actually had no chance.

But what should not be forgotten is that Calvin Schiraldi went to pieces with two out and no one on. This was nothing new for Calvin Schiraldi, the Red Sox Reliever, as he was in the Mets Organization from 1982 until 1985, traded for Bob Ojeda. Calvin had a history of "S--tting The Bed" at Shea Stadium." Granted, this was Schiraldi's Third Inning of Relief Duty, but he seemed to cruise along in the 10th Inning.

Schiraldi was there only because the starter, Mr. William Roger Clemens, complained about a blister and was removed. One wonders if the blister was to Roger's Ego.

My verdict is that Bob Stanley uncorked a wild pitch-case closed, perhaps panicking after being battled by Mookie Wilson. One never knows.
