Former New York Mets outfielder Mookie Wilson will move to the front office of the Major League Baseball team after not being retained as first-base coach.

Wilson, 56, whose grounder went through the legs of Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner to score the winning run in the sixth game of the 1986 World Series, will handle baseball and business duties for the club.
