That’s Amaury News and Commentary
Does anybody remember the 1986 World Series? The one won by the New York Mets over the Boston Red Sox in seven games?
Well I do very well, since I was broadcasting with two other colleagues, for the old CBS Hispanic Radio Network, when on game six, a ground ball from the bat of Mookie Wilson went right through the legs of first
baseman Billy Buckner, that error was key and one error never forgotten by Red Sox fans.
I will bet anything that if the Red Sox do not win this 2013 World Series, many of their very passionate fans will blame third base umpire Jim Joyce for calling obstruction in the ninth inning by third baseman Will Middlebrooks. But, what Red Sox fans should remember,(during the first three games of this 2013 Series) is the two very bad throws to third base, one by reliever Craig Breslow, and last night by catcher Jarrod Saltalamachia, which cost them the game.
With pitching this good, if you made errors like this, you will not win.
It is as simple as that.
