Bruce Hurst was widely considered a good player for the Boston Red Sox, particularly for his contributions in the 1986 World Series. While he had a 42-46 record and a 4.59 ERA before that season, his performance in the 1986 postseason was notable, including two wins and a stellar 1.96 ERA. He also established a Red Sox record for lefties with 189 strikeouts.  In the 1986 World Series, Hurst pitched brilliantly holding the New York Mets to just four hits in the Game 1 pitchers’ duel with Ron Darling, won 1–0 by the Red Sox.In Game 5, Hurst pitched a complete game victory to give Boston a 3–2 lead in the Series. Notably with Boston leading 5–3 in the 10th inning of Game 6, the Mets were down to their last out with no one on base. A Red Sox World Series victory seemed likely as the Shea Stadiums Score-Board was set to display “Congratulations Boston Red Sox, 1986 World Champions.” Hurst had been selected as the World Series Most Valuable Player until the Mets rallied to win the game with three runs, forcing a decisive Game 7. He set a Red Sox record for left-handers with 189 strikeouts in 1986. His 56 wins at Fenway Park are second among left-handers for the Red Sox.
