From time to time, ESPN has shown a replay of this home run, but only to show what Dibble did afterwards. The never show it with Miller's erroneous call. Tim McCarver once said in a commercial he made "Never say it's out of here before it's out of here." Miller made this mistake, only in reverse. He said it WASN'T out of here before it wasn't. But it was.

The National Anthem was sung by 1950's-60's singer, Julius LaRosa. I worked with his daughter at the time and gave her the tix for him to sign. He wrote: "We won!! Julius LaRosa". I still have the tix in my collection.

But, after fanning Boston to lead off the inning, Dibble got himself into trouble, walking the light-hitting Chris Donnels. Kent, in just his 4th game with the Mets, struck out for the third straight time (and got cascaded with boos), but then Murray walked on 4 pitches, bringing up Bonilla. Guessing (and guessing right) that Dibble would throw a first-pitch get-me-over fastball, Bobby swatted it over the right field wall for a line drive home run -- his first (of four) walk-off dingers in his career. I, like Hank, made note of John Miller's terrible call. His exact words: "This will stay in the ballpark...or is it? NO!"

The Reds looked like they had just lost the World Series after Bonilla's blast. Dibble, as mentioned by the previous commenters, infamously ripped off his jersey walking off the mound, while many players sat on the bench staring blankly onto the field for several minutes in utter disbelief. Not only did they lose a heartbreaker of a game, but they had just been swept in 4 games by the lowly Mets. For New York, this gave them their season-best 7th win in a row. The following day the streak ended when they were swept in a doubleheader by the Braves.

Also of note, the Mets lost two players in the first inning of this game, as Coleman was ejected for arguing balls and strikes (the moron took strike three right down the middle, then decided to jaw at the umpire for no reason from the dugout), and Chico Walker was forced from the game when he pulled up lame scoring on Murray's single. But he'd only miss a couple games, which was good considering HoJo, Magadan, Randolph and Elster were also hurt at the time. And hat tip to Barry Jones, who I don't remember being a Met at all but earned the win by retiring all 5 batters he faced, including two on strikeouts when he came in with 2 on and 1 out in the 8th. How fair is baseball that Jones went 2-0 with a 9.39 ERA for the Mets in 1992, but Anthony Young went 2-14 with a 4.17 ERA?
