Of the last 13 Major League teams that won a Game 6 playoff game at home to force a Game 7, 12 went on to win Game 7. The one exception is the 2006 Mets, who lost to the Cardinals in the NLCS
How Mr Beltan could take a third strike three to end that series still gives me nightmares.
However, one of the best games I ever saw in person was earlier in 2006.
Mr Pulhoz hits a grand slam and a three run homer.
Cards have 7 run lead.
Mr Delgado hit his 400th home run a solo shot. Later in the game he hits a grand slam. Mets down by 1, Bottom of the 9th, first man gets on and Mr Beltran hits a shot to win game. Shea almost fell down.
Best ball game I ever saw in person and it just tops the 1964 allstar game I witnessed, only allstar game Mets ever hosted. Hello MLB!
