New York METS at Houston ASTROS 7/20/86 (15) Original KTXH Broadcast

Another marathon game out from the archives and a great game between the soon to be NLCS teams in the National League. Original KTXH Vision20 Broadcast with Milo Hamilton and Larry Dierker from the Houston Astrodome, taken off original pre recorded VHS tapes which was later transferred to DVD (2002) and now restored and digitalized and making its debut on youtube. Classic game between the two rivals as the starters Sid Fernandez and Jim Deshaies take the mound as almost all pitchers from both clubs appear in this 15 inning game as Houston is ahead in the western division with San Francisco right behind them as New York keeps taking a comanding in the NL East. Houston takes the lead in this game and the Mets come right back to tie the game throughout. Astros manager Hal Lanier gets ejected..soon comes down to the wire in the 15th and ends on a close play at the plate. This is probably the longest game I have in my archives and one of the best games out there from the classic 1986 season Boxscore https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1986/B07200HOU1986.htm Great write up retrospective of this game from John Fredland SARB games project: https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/july-20-1986-astros-outlast-mets-rallies-win-15-inning-nlcs-preview-on-controversial-call/
