Reliving One Inning of the 1986 World Series

How perfect. 2006 is the 20th Anniversary of the 1986 World Championship for the Mets and San Diego Serenade made an amazin' re-enactment of one of the signature moments of the World Series. As a tribute to RBI Baseball, Serenade's "favorite video game of all time," he made the video above, re-enacting the bottom of the 10th inning in game 6 and setting it to Vin Scully's broadcast of the same game. If you have 10 minutes so spare, we highly recommend watching and listening to the re-enactment. After all, can you imagine the time that was put into the re-enactment? Every pitch in the inning, every foul ball, and the final tough at bat by Mookie Wilson.

Plus, you get to hear Scully's classic words at the end of the game:
"If one picture is worth a thousand words, you have seen about a million words. But more than that, you have seen an absolutely bizarre finish to Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The Mets are not only alive, they are well and they will play the Red Sox in Game 7 tomorrow."

Omg, I am tearing up a bit. I'll never forget sitting up with my brother listening to the game on wfan in his bedroom, trying not to scream each time mookie hit a foul.

Very cool stuff.

Poor Buckner. The Mets should really consider putting him in their team Hall of Fame.

This is very cool. How do you think he got the game coordinated to do this?

Being a Sox fan, this makes my stomach hurt.

The box score is off though. and the current record in the newspaper at the end should be at 3-3.
