#2746 RE: lojjm #2744

lojjm: The Red Sox had close calls in both the ’75 Series and the ’86 Series. The ’75 Series was the one where Carlton Fisk hit the home run off the foul pole in game 6, and the Reds went on to win game 7.

The game which last night reminded me of was game 6 of the ’86 Series, where the Red Sox were up 5-3 in the 10th inning and one strike away from winning the whole thing vs the Mets. Then the Sox surrendered three singles, a wild pitch, and the infamous Bill Buckner play to lose 6-5.

What struck me as similar to last night’s game was the game-6 setting, the identical final score, and the suddenness of the comeback.
