  Best line from this game...when asked about the last time he'd hit a "walk off" homer, Dykstra said "it was playing Strat O Matic baseball against my brother"...

  I met Lenny that year ( 1986 ) mid season in Cincinnati before the ball game. He was eating icecream and agreed to give me an autograph before he got into a cab on the way to the game. I opened the cab door to let him in...but would not close that door.! I let him close it....did not want ANY CHANCE of him getting hurt ! Great guy  and competitor  !!!

  RIP Mel Stottlemyere, Yogi Berra, Ed Koch, Gary Carter, and Keith Jackson.  God bless your souls.  You’re all deeply missed.

  Keith Jackson, the legendary voice of college football for more than half a century, passed away Friday night at the age of 89. RIP

  This is when I fell in love with Baseball and my Brother kissed the floor because he promised he would if Dykstra hits a homerun. Baseball like it oughta be!

  1986 was the Mets greatest comeback team. They just would not lose !!

  Dykstra and Strawberry were my favorite Mets (though, I loved them all), so this had to be the most satisfying game I ever watched.

  I love the way announcers like Keith Jackson, Vin Scully, and Pat Summerall handled big game ending moments. They called it &quot;GONE!&quot; and then they shut their mouths and let the pictures and the sound do the talking.

  I remember being on a bus on Main St. and Roosevelt Ave. in Flushing Queens when Lenny Dykstra hit the game winning homer. &nbsp;The bus was full of folks from all walks of life, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Korean, Latino, Irish, Italian, Japanese ... you name it. &nbsp;When Dykstra hit the home run everyone in the bus yelled in excitement ! Everyone ! Even the old Indian lady in her Sari and the old Chinese old sitting in her seat wearing her traditional Chinese gear. &nbsp;It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.
