I always say that...I think Mookie would have been safe regardless. It's hard to tell from the only view they give, but Mookie was bookin down that line and I couldn't see Shiraldi covering in that shot.

3:16 "Even if I made the last out, I didn't want it to be a strikeout".....I really wish Beltran had seen this part of the interview.

not to burst your bubble but it was bob stanley who pitched to mookie not calvin schrldi they took him out after ray knight had a single which scored gary carter.

And by "Calvin Shiraldi" I meant "Bob Stanley". :-)

Oh, Mookie, it wasn't "just a simple ground ball" and the interviewer's characterization is not a "silver lining on a cloud".

The wild pitch and the missed grounder were memorable, for sure. But so were the foul balls after foul balls that you hit -- tough pitches all -- with 2 strikes!

I mean, there must have been 15 pitches in that at-bat. Most of them foul balls of tough Calvin Shiraldi pitches.

Just keeping the at-bat alive long enough to get the wild pitch was astounding.

great guy I'd vote him for President
