Craig Nettles was the third baseman..
...Bucky "not yet ****y" Dent was the shortstop and he hit a homer just barely clearing the Green Monster to defeat the Boston Red Sox in a one game playoff after the Yankees came from 14 back in August. That was one but the most incredible proof of the curse of the Bambino occured in the 86 world series when the ball hit by Mookie Wilson of the Mets dribbled through Bill Buckner's legs and the Mets went on to win the World Series. What a year for NY sports teams with The Rangers, Giants and Mets all winning World titles.
