The article as it currently stands at Bill Buckner literally reads as follows:

With two outs and no one on base, New York struck back with three straight singles off Calvin Schiraldi, and tied the game on a wild pitch by Bob Stanley. Mookie Wilson fouled off several pitches before hitting a slow roller to Buckner at first base. Aware of Wilson's speed, Buckner tried to rush the play. As a result, the ball rolled to the left side of his glove,[22] through his legs, and into shallow right field, allowing Ray Knight to score the winning run from second base.[23] Had Buckner fielded the ball with Wilson safe at first, the score would have remained tied for the next Mets batter. Had Buckner put out Wilson at first base, Game 6 would have gone to an 11th inning.

And the image illustrates this point, very effectively I feel! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 05:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
