Dave Stapleton was the late-inning defensive replacement for most of the season.
And then Mcnamara fails to use him at the most critical moment of the year....

It was Dave Stapleton, and he was usually brought in as a defensive replacement (especially when the game was on the line). Buckner was suffering injuries to his ankles, and was often replaced in later innings.
BTW - it was not an easy play, and the Mets had already tied the game on a wild pitch. Buckner had 102 rbi's that year, and they probably would not have made it to the Show without him.
