ESPN, so classy....
Bill Buckner, 69, died due to Dementia...ESPN the Sports News Leader reports his death, all they could sum up his life with was. 'Made the costly error in the 1986 World Series'.

I hated Buckner when he with the Cubs, but he was one hell of a player his whole career. And a whole lot of people didn't remember him from his Dodger days before his ankle injury. He was an excellent outfielder who made himself a pretty damn good defensive first baseman despite losing his wheels. Guy could rake, and didn't care if he was facing a lefty either. Dementia just sucks. That shit is flat out wrong.

Another Buckner stat, in 22 seasons he NEVER struck out 3 times in a game.

One season only struck out 18 times! Sure he made that error but people forget how badly that game was mismanaged by John McNamara. Also that was game 6, Sox had a chance in game 7.BTW the lowest rated game in MNF history (perhaps that has changed?) went up against that game 7.

Simms vs Schoeder. I watched football that night.

Well at least he could laugh about it many years later.

This one saddens me a lot. I had to buy doubles of Hemispjeres, 2112, and Permanent Waves because they got played so much. RIP buddy.

Moving Pictures was their apex, imo. Permanent Waves a close second.
