In terms of importance, it was nowhere near Buckner-a first round playoff game obviously pales against a game where if you win, you win the World Series, and for the first time in-at the time-68 years. But, in terms of damage, Holliday's was much worse: people forget that the Mets went from being two runs down, two outs, nobody on to tying the game before Buckner's error, which means had he made the play, all it meant was that the Sox got to go to the top of the 11th inning, on the road, against a heavily favored opponent who had all of the momentum-in other words, they were still a good sized dog from that point. And what people also don't realize is that Buckner (who had sore feet and should've been removed for defensive purposes, as he had been during the season and even earlier in that Series), was not likely to beat the speedy Mookie Wilson to first (the brain dead reliever, Bob Stanley, didn't break to cover first). But to go from evening up the series and taking away home field advantage while doing so, to droping an easy pop fly and losing the game 5 minutes later, ugh.
