I was lucky and blessed to be old enough during this era. Surreal!
I was working at Burger King in Times Square (Not there anymore)
I was in the grill area during Game 6. I had my small radio. I was scheduled to be off for game 7. Problem was, it looked like we'd lose the WS in 6.
I just sat down on the floor with my radio. It was eerily quiet in the grill area, because the place was kind of packed because you know TS. Always filled with tourists & regulars. I had on a really ugly BK shirt, as I remember.
Time was running out after the Dave Henderson HR. I remember no one in the place had a clue that a WS game was going on. I remember going in the dining area, looking for reactions after the Hendu HR. No one knew.
I went back to the grill area and slumped down, thinking it was over. The incredible dream season was going to be a letdown, even after escaping the Astros and Mike Scott in the NLCS.
I gave in and convinced myself that it was cool that the RedSox would be champs.Then, well you know what happened!
I remember when it was over, I ran out on the streets screaming, yelling, jumping up and down, but I'll never ever forget that while TS was packed with tourists NO ONE had a clue, so I looked stupid being the only one celebrating!
It was INCREDIBLE!!!!
Then I was off for game 7. Watched it with my younger brother that was nowhere near as hardcore a fan I was, but when the final out was recorded, we hugged.
I still have the '86 champs t-shirt today!!Vin Scully was calling that game! I grew up to the east of LA and always loved listening to Scully calling the Dodgers games!

They just stand there admiring your drive and then you end up on second on top of them like wtf are you still doing here? Very annoying.
The moment for Gary Carter in the Keith Hernandez program is prime example for this, it took me about 10 trys 5 of which was beacuse the runners refused to move or 1 would score and the other would get to 3rd base and just stop

The baseball gods were on my side with this one, passed every mission first try! Then Nolan Ryan showed up to restore balance… 10 tries later I finally beat that one lol.

What does this program look like?
The usual moments and play a game on All Star vs. the Mets. The card hits way better than his past cards. It was super easy to get it done.

It was lucky, defender dove for the ball in left and missed.

On about try 10, I got lucky with a 102 4SB right down the absolute middle of the plate and I was all over it for a HR! I'm glad it didn't take "too" long!

Yes all done and pulled Trout at 650k I’m happy

Keith Hernandez is a disgrace. Spitting on Kramer was so unprofessional. He shouldn’t be in the game. Boycott SDS! Who’s with me?

I found a mistake in the "Carter Ends It!" mission. (Maybe someone else has pointed it out elsewhere in the forum?) It was actually Game 5 of the series and not Game 6 as it is here in The Show. The Mets won Game 6 was a 16 inning marathon in Houston winning the NLCS 4-2.
How do I know this? I was 10 at the time, and I was at Game 5. It was a legendary pitching duel between Gooden and Ryan, but to 10 year old me, it was the most boring thing in the world. The only highlight during the first 11 innings was the crowd in my section booing and heckling a dude in an Astros shirt walking to his seat with a beer. Then came the 12th inning, and you had a feeling that something good was going to happen, and sure enough... Amazin'
I still have my ticket stub from that game. Jeez I'm old.
