Perhaps the most infamous blunder in baseball history was the product of many different mistakes by many different people that ultimately led to Mookie Wilson's weak ground ball slipping under the glove and through the legs of Bill Buckner. On the 40th anniversary of the Red Sox's heartbreaking loss in Game 6 and the Mets' triumphant win in Game 6, Mike and Bill look back on the 1986 World Series, how the teams got to this fateful point, and what happened next.

Plus, happy birthday to Bip Roberts and Vic Aldridge!
