@martinl.lazarinejr.2781 . You are right, my Texan Friend. That was a game for the Ages!! The Mets were totally Comfounded by Mike Scott (who learned his new Pitch from Roger Craig - also an Original Met who lost 22 Games in a Row in 1962 or 1963). Mike Scott was ready for Game 7 which probbaly would have went the Astros' way! Good Luck in Houston! The Mets play the Stros next!

@@Chiroman527 There is this publication that wrote a story about the Mets plane ride back to NYC after winning the 1986 NLCS Game 6 in Houston. This publication wrote that the Mets girlfriends and wives along with the players had a big orgy while in flight back to NYC. what a party that was
I remember Lee attempting to make a Willie Mays basket catch and took the ball right in the mush 😂, knocked him out. It was the day after the Blackout. 😂
living in the Houston area, i am an Astros fan, but growing up, i copied Mazzilli's CF basket catch
