Mets @ Astros - October 15, 1986 – (NLCS Game 6)

in one of the most iconic games in baseball history, the New York Mets triumphed over the Houston Astros 7–6 in a 16-inning marathon at the Astrodome, clinching their first National League pennant since 1973. The game featured a dramatic comeback, with the Mets scoring three runs in the ninth inning to tie the game, and later adding three more in the top of the 16th. Astros' Billy Hatcher responded with a solo home run in the bottom of the 16th, but Mets' reliever Jesse Orosco struck out Kevin Bass with the tying and winning runs on base to secure the victory.

The broadcast was called by legendary sportscaster Keith Jackson, known for his distinctive voice and memorable catchphrases. This game marked one of Jackson's final baseball broadcasts, adding to its historical significance.
