BROOKLYN WEEKLY, JULY 28, 2019
BY CHANDLER KIDD
Mets fans gathered at a Flatlands
watering hole to meet legendary
slugger Mookie Wilson,
who signed autographs and partied
with the kids of some of his
biggest fans!
“My father was a die-hard
Mets fan and it was a very high
honor,” said Ricky Zawacki,
himself a diehard Mets fan.
The famous Mets center
fi elder — who signed a picture of
himself for Zawacki, before enjoying
his evening at Flatbush
Avenue’s Bulls Eye Sports Pub —
famously hit a ground ball that
rolled through Boston Red Sox
player Bill Buckner’s legs in the
bottom of the 10th inning during
Game 6 of the 1986 World Series,
helping the Mets force a seventh
game that they ultimately won to
become champions.
At least 60 people signed up
for their chance to have Wilson
sign shirts, baseballs, bats, pictures
and even a Shea Stadium
unday, November 13th, 12 to 3 PM
seat. One fan, Dafna Alma,
brought eight items for Wilson
to sign.
