1986 World Series Game 6 Re-Enacted in RBI Baseball

This is very cool. A fella by the name of Conor Lastowka recreated the the bottom of the tenth inning of the Mets-Red Sox World Series games 6 using the old Nintendo 'RBI Baseball' game.

The game of course wasn't recreated by chance but by repeating scenerios over and over until he got the right result. For example it took him over 200 attempts to get Keith Hernandez to fly out to centre. Voice over is done using the original broadcast commentary by Vince Scully (so turn your sound on).

For those of you who don't remember the particulars of the game, this is the game the Red Sox needed only one out to win their first World Series since 1918 but the pitchers fell apart then the Mets' Mookie Wilson hit a dribbler to Bill Buckner who let it go through his legs scoring the winning run. The Mets would win game seven and the Red Sox had to wait another 18 years before getting another shot at the title.

Here's another link to the file on YouTube. Also you can watch the orginal final play here.
