One of New York sports history's most surreal nights occurred 40 years ago tonight
The Mets win Game 7 of the 1986 World Series over the Red Sox, while simultaneously 15 miles to the west, the Giants defeat the Redskins in a key divisional MNF showdown at the Meadowlands.
Nearly everyone at Giants Stadium follows every pitch of the baseball action on Sony Watchmans or by radio
October 27, 1986
1986: OTD 40 years ago: #NYGiants had a key MNF matchup w/ Washington but the fans used their portable TVs/radios to follow along w/ Game 7 of the World Series at Shea. The crowd would burst into cheers randomly on Mets' HRs as they beat Boston & NYG won 27-20
