Bill Buckner's error allowed the winning run to score in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Contrary to popular belief: * The game was already tied before Buckner's error. Popular myth has it that the Red Sox were still winning and that Buckner could have ended the game and the Sox World Series drought by making the play. * The error only forced a Game 7, it did not in itself lose the series. * It was not a routine play.
