I don't know which is a better web video creation, this, or Ronaldinho banging it off the crossbar 5 times. Absolute brilliance.... P.S. Scully was the biggest Sox homer in that series, thankfully games 1,6, and 7 were watch in an East Village bar setting (The Dugout, 13th and 3rd).

I wish they'd been able to reenact Keith Hernandez smoking in the clubhouse after making the second out.

Greatest game ever played..thanks for pointing out who the "Oh, brother" was from. Probably would have been a little more poignant for us Mets fans to hear the late Bob Murphy/Gary Thorne call of the game, but this was pretty special in it own right.

Outstanding stuff. Too bad RBI baseball can't have balls go through the legs of 1st basemen.

Hearing that again reminded me of two things: (i) just how much Scully jinxed that game -- between talk of World Series bonuses and Oil Can's day off, he might as well have been poking needles into a voodoo doll; and (ii) it never made sense that Buckner bore the brunt of all the vilification for the loss when the game was already tied up on Bob Stanley's wild pitch.

Very good re-enactment. All that was missing was the knife in Buckner's back. That would have made it complete.

Mookie Wilson was, and still is, a black man. At least to the best of my knowledge. I think it is important that the ugly days before videogame baseball integration are not glorified. At the same time, they should not be allowed to slip from our collective conscience. It took valiant performances like Tecmo Bowl-Bo Jackson to illustrate that black athletes could succeed in a off-white colored sprite dominated world. I can't remember the last time I have seen something so lame and yet so awesome. What would I do without Deadspin?

Wow, after watching that I would like to propose the idea that all baseball games from here on out be simulated live on R.B.I. baseball with either Vin Scully or Ernie Harwell broadcasting. That was more enjoyable than any live action I've seen in years......but that could be because I'm a Tigers fan.

Why is it that I continue to get nervous each and every time I see this damn game -- be it on Classic Sports or, now, in a vintage '80s video game remix? I know how it ends ... but it still sucks. Oh, and my favorite part was Joe Garagiola's "oh brother" spliced in there with 8:39 of Vin Scully. I'm sure NBC was glad to have him on the payroll.
