Bill Buckner's 1986 World Series error

In the bottom of the tenth inning of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series at Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens, New York on October 25, 1986, Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner made a fielding error that resulted in the New York Mets winning the game; it remains one of the most memorable plays in baseball history. With the Red Sox leading the best-of-seven series three games to two but having allowed the Mets to tie the game with two runs in the bottom of the tenth, with two outs and a runner on second base, New York's Mookie Wilson hit a seemingly routine groundball along the first base foul line that Buckner, known to be playing through injury, was unable to field.
