Lenny Dykstra’s Walk-Off Home Run | 1986 NLCS Game 3

Lenny Dykstra’s Walk-Off Home Run | 1986 NLCS Game 3

So now Dave Smith will pitch to Lenny Dystra. Jean Mock once told me that you can score a lot of runs with the types of outs you make. That was not a good type of out to make because Bachman’s still at second base. No runner advanced [Applause] with Dystra up. Mookie Wilson now to the on deck circle and one out. 54 Houston lead. Might say no types of outs are nice to make, but if you do make them, you want to at least advance the runner, especially in this situation. Backra fouls it back. Strike one. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Walling on the grass at third. Davis just off the grass at first. Everybody’s on the dirt or the edge of their seats. Hit to right. Bass going back. Going back. It’s gone. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] A two-run home run by Lenny Daxra. And the Mets beat the Astros in the bottom of the ninth inning 6-5 and take a twogame to one lead in the National League Championship Series. Dave Smith, the ace of the bullpen for Houston, throws a fork ball and Lenny Dystra hit it out as the Mets win 6-5. [Applause]

10/11/86: In one of the most unforgettable moments of the 1986 postseason, Lenny Dykstra lifted the Mets to victory with a walk-off home run in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Houston Astros. Dykstra’s two-run shot off Dave Smith sent Shea Stadium into a frenzy and gave the Mets a 2–1 series lead on their way to the NLCS and World Series.
