For some reason this decision has disappeared from the collective sports memory. You still hear about Bill Buckner, but IMHO Osborne was far worse. It wasn't an instinctive play in the middle of a game, but a conscious, thought-out decision
it was just alluded to, but Buckner shouldn't have been in the game. They always brought in Dave Stapleton as a defensive replacement at the end of the game. That was the only game he didn't go in, because the manager thought Buckner deserved to be on the field to celebrate.
THAT was the screwup.

THAT was the screwup.
This, plus even if Buckner had gotten control of the ball, Mookie Wilson still could have outran him to first base.
McNamara also removing Clemens and putting in Schiraldi/Stanley was stupid as well.
