The Mets took the decisive Game 7 to win their second World Championship. Showing heart and determination symbolic of that memorable season, the Mets rallied from a 3–0 deficit to win 8–5. Pitcher Sid Fernandez stopped Boston’s momentum with 2.1 shutout innings in relief. First baseman Keith Hernandez had three RBI and third baseman Ray Knight hit a clutch home run.

Net proceeds of Citi Field Fanwalk bricks have been donated to the Mets Foundation, which supports area charities and causes.
