Description: MOOKIE WILSON 8x10 SIGNED AND DATED 10/25/86 COLOR PHOTO BILL ROBINSON 1ST BASE COACH BOB STANLEY RICH GEDMAN UMPIRE DALE FORD BILL BUCKNER PLAYCERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY FROM T&A SPORTS This was hand signed in sharpie by Mookie with date 10/25/86. Mookie Wilson will forever be remembered for one World Series at-bat lasting ten pitches. With the Red Sox one strike away from clinching the 1986 WS in the bottom of the tenth inning of Game Six, Wilson fouled off pitch after pitch with last-second swings. With a 2-2 count, he fouled off two pitches. Then, reliever Bob Stanley threw one in the dirt at Wilson's feet, and the long-time Met favorite skipped rope to avoid being hit. The wild pitch allowed Kevin Mitchell to score, tying the game, and moved Ray Knight to second base. Wilson fouled off two more pitches and then hit a slow grounder to first baseman Bill Buckner , playing well behind the bag. The speedy Wilson would have been safe anyway, but Buckner let the ball go between his legs, allowing Knight to score the winning run. With drama quite different from a game-winning home run, the accumulated excitement of the slowly building rally capped by the tension of Wilson's at-bat made the game one of the most exciting in Series history. For most of his career, Wilson was a hustling fan favorite whose at-bats were greeted at home with cries of Moooooo-kie. As the senior member of the team in the second half of the 1980s, Wilson was an important clubhouse influence. His hustle, even when the Mets had been notorious non-contenders, set an example for younger players. He grumbled about his reduced playing time, but continued to be an unselfish team leader until he was traded to Toronto in the second half of 1989. He sparked the Blue Jays to the 1989 division title and fittingly scored the run that clinched first place.
