Bill Buckner Day
1986 World Series, Game 6, 10th Inning
Boston vs. Mets
Buckner had played well in the 1986 post-season, but came apart in Game 6, going 0-for-5 with runners on in this game.
Buckner's legacy includes:
John Hodges poem Forgiving Buckner, Slide's debut album Forgiving Buckner. His error is referenced on The Simpsons episode Brother's Little Helper, in Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital and an Ally McBeal episode.
Buckner retired in 1990 after 21 years in major league baseball. He is remembered annually by our family.
Happy Anniversary, Roni and Wayne (Oct. 25, 1986).
