Buckner’s Revenge: The Video Game
Posted by: Richie Rich in Mets, Red Sox, Video Games, YouTube
It’s been over 21 years since Game Six of the 1986 World Series … you know, when the Red Sox were only one strike away from winning their first World Series in 68 years … and Bill Buckner let that lazy Mookie Wilson grounder roll through his legs to give the Mets new life and eventually the Championship.
Since then, the Red Sox have won two World Series Championships. Bill Buckner and Mookie Wilson even co-sign photographs of the play and baseballs. Red Sox Nation has forgiven Buckner and has expunged October 1986 from their franchise history.
So it’s been long enough. Home Run Derby presents … Buckner’s Revenge.
For those of you weren’t around to remember any video games before Madden and Sega Genesis … that’s the graphics from RBI Baseball (the greatest baseball video game ever) combined with the music and sound effects from Custer’s Revenge (which was a naughty game for the Atari 2600).
