Mookie Wilson was the engine that made the 1986 World Champion New York Mets run efficiently. A tough out with the bat, a terror on the base paths, and a perennial favorite with the fans, Wilson was a manager's dream. A career .274 leadoff hitter, his unorthodox style at the plate gave NL pitchers fits throughout the 1980's. But his defining moment came in the bottom of the 10th inning in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series where he hung tough against reliever Bob Stanley until a wild pitch would allow Kevin Mitchell, the tying run, to score.
