The 10 Most Tragic Mistakes In MLB HISTORY...

I loved Buckners guest appearance on "Curb Your Enthusiasm". He gets Mookie to sign a ball for him. "He owes me a favor." Loses the ball out a window, "That was a bad throw!" And finally makes it good by catching a falling baby. Nice to see he has a sense of humor about it.

People forget that the cubs completely fell apart after that foul ball. Alex Gonzalez forgot that he owned a glove. And Dusty Baker left Prior out there to rot, which he has a long history of doing throughout his career as a manager.

Great job! Most of the time when I see the headline "BEST/WORST....IN HISTORY", they seem to think history began around 2000. You clearly covered all the big ones.

Love how there is ZERO bs and you get RIGHT to the point, refreshing!

It’s great to watch a compilation of plays made by someone who is aware that baseball wasn’t invented in 1980. So many compilations have no awareness of baseball history before 1980. Great video!!!

For as many things as you mentioned for why it wasn't all Buckner's fault, you still missed one: Stanley didn't get off the mound to cover first base, and as mentioned before, Buckner's knees were shot. While the official scorer did say "Wilson reached on E3 (Ground Ball), Knight scores/unER", the proper scoring really should've been "Wilson infield single to 1B; Knight to 3B; Knight scores on E3 (Ground Ball)/unER".

Appreciate your added perspective on these plays. Too many do not recall all of the events that surrounded #4 (Gonzalez) and #2 (Buckner). Cubs had many chances to make the Bartman event a non-factor and so many forget that the Buckner game was tied already at the time of the play and there was still a game 7 to be played. As a huge baseball fan, I was embarrassed not to have known the Ruth play though. Thanks for the video.

As a Red Sox Fan since 1975 I remember game 6 of the 86 Series. I was watching it in an Airport Terminal at LaGuadia. I was flying back from FLA and was wearing my Sox Cap with my Dad (another lifelong Sox Fan) standing beside me. I remember watching Calvin Schiraldi looking like a dear in headlights. My Dad said "Get him out of there, he's doesn't want to be there". Then as Bob Stanley came out of the bullpen we both Scream "NOOOOOO" and it was then we knew it was over.

Corrections: The Marlins Cubs NLCS was 2003, not 2005.. also apparently I accidentally said Jose Cabrera instead of Miguel Cabrera.. that is a stupid slip up; I know who Miggy is.. one of my favorites of all time. My bad.

I'm a huge Mets fan and remember game 6 well. Sure Buckner errored but Schiraldi and Stanley had already blown the game.

1972 NLCS Game 5: Bob Moose's wild pitch wins the pennant for the Reds. 1992 NLCS Game 7: Randy Marsh calls a ball on a clear third strike, keeping the Braves alive for Francisco Cabrera to win it for them.

Really appreciate your take on the Cubs game. It's unbelievably absurd that Bartman enters into the discussion about this game, when the Cubs, a team I like, absolutely dug their own grave in the eighth. The fact that Bartman received harassments and death threats is obscene. Anyone who understands baseball one iota would have no ill will to Bartman. Maybe a mild 'hey dude" but nothing like the vitriol the he received.

FYI - Merkle’s action was not a “blunder”. It was standard play at the time (especially at the Polo Grounds) for runners like Merkle to not bother to advance to the next base on a walk-off hit. 2 reasons for this. First, at the Polo Grounds the clubhouses were out through the centerfield wall. Second, it was normal for the fans to storm the field after EVERY game, not just important ones. So Merkle, seeing that the game was over, did not ‘fail to touch second base’. Rather, he ran for the clubhouse - something he had likely done many times before, as had hundreds of veterans before him.

The Tigers' win over the Padres in the 1984 World Series capped one of the most dominant seasons ever. Detroit won 19 of its first 21 games that year and never looked back. And RIP Vin Scully, who had the call on Gibson's HR over Gossage.

Babe Ruth was not running on his own. It was reported at the time that the batter, Meusel, called for a hit & run and then proceeded to swing & miss, What's more, Meusel had two costly misplays earlier in the game. It is Bob Meusel that should be remembered as the goat of the series.

Man anytime someone mentions the 91 series the only thing I can think is "He's holding Gant's leg!"

Not "tragic" but one of the best blunders in MLB history was in 1962.. Marv Throneberry of the Mets hits what looks to be a triple.. but gets called out for missing second base. When Casey Stengal came out to argue, the Mets first base coach told him not to bother because Throneberry missed first base too!

As a Mets fan, that lose wasn't on Buckner. He shouldn't even have been on the field. Calvin fell apart. And of course the next game.....

3:28 What's ironic there is that Gibson faced this same situation in the 2011 NLDS. Game 1, 8th inning, Brewers lead DBacks 2-1, Braun just doubled and Prince Fielder up with first base open, 1 out. Gibson let Ian Kennedy pitch to Fielder, and after strike 1, where Prince smiled in disbelief that he was being pitched to, then hit a 2-run homer on the next pitch, and the Brewers won 4-1.

I can't help but smile everytime I see Sparky saying "Hey don't wanna walk you!!" It's like even Sparky knew it was a foolish move to pitch to Gibson there!!
