William Hayward "Mookie" Wilson (born February 9th, 1956) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder and coach remembered as the Met who hit the ground ball that rolled through Bill Buckner's legs in the bottom of the 10th inning of game six of the 1986 World Series.

A switch hitter with excellent speed, his positive attitude and hustle immediately endeared him to a New York Mets fan base with precious few stars to root for when he first came up in the early 1980s. He was enshrined in the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1996.

History with the Macy's Parade[]

Mookie Wilson with Lee Mazzilli were featured on the Big Apple float at the 60th Macy's Parade.
