The “Curse of the Bambino” struck in the 1986 World Series, when a Mookie Wilson dribbler down the first base line managed to trickle through the legs of reliable first baseman Bill Buckner. This infamous miscue allowed the New York Mets to complete a dramatic extra innings victory, opening the door to a Game 7 triumph for the Mets, that stunned Boston Red Sox fans. This error for the ages is commemorated for posterity, with this 1986 World Series Game 6 full ticket. Encapsulated by PSA with a grade of (VG 3), this handsome ticket has a paper clip impression that is obviously the reason for the VG rating, as otherwise it presents much better. Label notations include “1986 World Series GM 6, Mets - 6, Red Sox - 5, Oct. 25, Ball Rolls Through Buckner’s Legs”. Opening Bid $400.
