I love that Scully knows when to stop commentating and allow the crowd noise to tell the story. Best broadcaster ever.

[gaussagain]

People shouldn't forget how many pitches Mookie WIlson fouled off to keep his at bat alive. Mookie was an unsung hero.

Vin passed today. I'm heartbroken. This is one of the best games I was fortunate enough to hear him call. We miss you Vin. Thanks a million.

I was 8 years old and watching this with my dad. He was a Mets fan and I am a Mets fan. I remember him looking at me and saying you can go to bed this game is over. We watched until the end and I remember him saying “ other than you being born this is the greatest time in my life”. We watched the rest of the series together and created memories that I hold to this day. So glad he passed the love of this team and all the suffering on to me and I since passed it onto my son.

Vin Scully had a billion amazing play calls, but as a Mets fan, this will always be my favorite one. God bless Vin Scully, and may he forever Rest In Peace.

[scholasticperspectives]

I came here because I’m mourning the passing of Vin Scully. No one told the story or called a game like him. Rest In Peace to the best who ever had a microphone

[koa]

Best thing about Vince Scully was sometimes what he didn't say- He let the game and the crowd do it it for him.

[lamontburton]

Hats off to Mookie Wilson showing class & friendship to Bill Buckner(RIP) all these years in defending him against the haters.

[talia]

One thing I loved about Vin Scully that I haven't heard people talk about is his use of silence. He knew when to talk and when to let the moment play out. This call is a classic example of this. Thanks, Vin. You'll be missed.

[bradenanderson]

who else is coming here after hearing about the legend passing😔 forever goated because of this at bat and many others. rest in paradise🧡💙

4:21 “Little roller up along first..BEHIND THE BAG. IT GETS THROUGH BUCKNER. HERE COMES KNIGHT AND THE METS WIN IT!” Absolute chills every time. This call is one of the greatest in all of sports.

[albundy]

A few years later, Mookie said that he felt sorry for Buckner. "Yeah, I wanted to win, but that ruined his whole life. He didn't deserve to be blamed for losing the game like he was. Nobody should have to live with something like that."

[justinklein]

There will be no one as special in baseball as Vin was. You’ll forever be missed! Rest In Peace to the King of broadcasting. ❤️

The day I became a Mets fan. I’m 15 years old sitting with my girlfriend on her mom’s couch watching this game live. Her mother is from Boston and that woman truly hated me. When Mookie Wilson hit his little roller I jumped off the couch yelling and cheering, all to her mother’s chagrin 😂. I’ve worn a Mets hat and gear almost every day since. I had tickets to the last game at Shea and I’ve been to see them play on my birthday. I should mention I was born and raised in Louisiana so it’s a little unusual. But what can I say, I love our metropolitans, our boys of summer. As long as I’m breathing I’ll be a fan, thanks to this day, this game and this play. * Louisianas biggest Mets fan.

[chrisreinking]

Everyone blames Buckner but forgets Stanley's wild pitch that tied it and moved Knight to scoring position in the first place.

[visionistoseo]

Man, I miss Shea. That stadium would shake went it got going.

[manuelsoto]

If one picture is worth 1, 000 words, you’ve seen a million words....Vin Scully was amazing

[ogrebattle]

One of the most epic at bats in a World Series game.... Mookie you were the man...

[freakjob]

God, this sounds just like the baseball I remember. Listening to the play-by-play on an AM radio on a warm summer night...those days were great!

[ameernouh]

Scully’s call gives me goosebumps every time. “Here comes knight and the mets WIN IT!”.
