Buckner's blunder, Marshall's wrong way run, and a Tiger for Motivation ... This DiSH for Oct. 25

This Day In Sports History is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In 1986, Mookie Wilson's slow roller snuck under Bill Buckner's glove and the Mets won game 6 of the World Series.

In 1964, Minnesota Viking defensive end Jim Marshall recovered a fumble and returned it the wrong way.

In 2003, the Florida Marlins won their second world championship in their 11 year history.

In 2008, Texas Tech kicker Matt Williams kicked 9 PATs in a win against Kansas. That's not really the story. The story is how he got there.

And in 1980, Dallas Mavericks' Head Coach Dick Motta brought a live tiger into the locker room in an attempt to motivate his team. It didn't work, but Motta did have one regret.
