https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_World_Series#Game_6With the Red Sox leading the Mets 5-4 in the bottom of the 10th, with a 2-2 count and 2 out, Boston pitcher Bob Stanley picks off Knight at first (who had taken a large lead toward second), ending the game and giving Boston its first World Series win in 68 years.
No wild pitch, no ball between Buckner's legs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_Massachusetts_general_election#Question_5With one less reason to "lash out", do MA voters still vote to dump the secondary seat belt law 10 days later? IRL, the law was voted down 46.5-53.5, with only Barnstable, Dukes, Hampden, Hampshire and Nantucket counties-- all well outside the Boston media market-- voting to retain the law. Boston proper voted it down, and Cambridge voted just 63% yes.
