I can't believe it took this long.
Shame on whomever still hates on this guy.
Dude was a good player, and the fact that he had to exile himself and his family to Idaho for 20 years because of a single error is absolutely unconscionable. There are others who deserve as much or more blame than Buckner received for the Game 6 loss; he shouldn't have even had the chance to make that error.
And even if he had made the play.....the Sox still could've lost that game in extra innings.
Sad.
