In a poll taken among New York Mets fans last year, the team's come-from-behind 1986 World Series victory over the Boston Red Sox was voted the all-time greatest highlight, beating out even the improbable 1969 triumph. No team showed greater heart or guts than the Mets after falling behind 3 games to 2 to the Red Sox, and the 9th inning comeback rally in game six that was climaxed by Mookie Wilson's dribbler that got through Bill Buckner's legs is so fresh in Mets fans' minds that it could have happened yesterday. There are 30 signatures from the team on this near-pristine Official World Series Ueberroth ball including manager Davey Johnson (SS), Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Series MVP Ray Knight, Darryl Strawberry, Wally Backman, Sid Fernandez, Bob Ojeda, Len Dykstra, Jesse Orosco, Ron Darling, etc. the signatures are in blue ink and rate 8s, 9s, and near-10s.
