First baseman Bill Buckner allowed a slow roller from Mookie Wilson to go between his legs that scored Ray Knight with the winning run in Game 6. It is so easy to second guess but ... why wasn't Dave Stapleton in the game as a defensive replacement like he was so many times during the regular season?
The score was tied, 5-5.
