1. 1960, Game 7, October 13: the bad hop that hit Tony Kubek in the throat, leading to a 5-run 8th inning; the walk-off homer by Bill Mazeroski (the most recent in a World Series Game 7 and the last time in nearly 60 years any Pittsburgh team--Pirates, Steelers, or Penguins--would win a championship at home); the fact that the Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 across 7 games and still lost (alas, Yankee Bill Richardson, 2B, was awarded series MVP, the only time this honor has been bestowed on the losing team); the fact that this was the only World Series game ever in which no strikeouts were recorded by either side.

2. 1975, Game 6, October 21-22: Carlton Fisk HR off the foul pole.

3. 1986, Game 6, October 25: "one strike away" then the hit, the wild pitch, and the errant ball to Buckner.

4. 2003, Game 6 of the NLCS, fan interference costs the Cubs a trip to the World Series.

Any other great moments I may be missing?

I don't have the entire history of baseball in my head, so this is relativley un-weird on the grand scheme of things, but I remember Game 3 of the 2013 World Series getting a lot of talk at the time:

Game 7 of the 2016 World Series was pretty wild. No one unique thing happened, but the game as a whole had everything--a lead-off home run, a wild pitch, some genuinely painful fielding errors, a hair-raising ninth inning followed by extra innings, even a rain delay that's thought to have psychologically influenced the game's outcome.

And Game 5 of the 1956 World Series goes without saying, of course.

Three additional ones:

Game 3, 1989: Game postponed due to an earthquake right before first pitch

Game 5, 2008: A rainstorm suspended the game in the 6th inning on Monday night, and the Phillies had to wait two more days to finish the game and clinch the WS

Game 3, 2018: A marathon game that just felt like it was never going to end (also the only Dodgers victory in that series)

Game 7 2014 was remarkable for how unremarkable it was. If I recall correctly it ended up being 3 - 2 and ended on a pop-out. In a series with so many back-and-forths, I was seriously expecting something with more fireworks than that.

Pretty much all the Astros-Dodgers games were great too.

Yes. That would be the best WS game ever to me.
