Bill Buckner dies at 69 after battling dementia


May 27, 2019, 6:41 PM

Buckner, the longtime major leaguer whose error in the 1986 World Series for years lived in Red Sox infamy.

now they had to sum up his baseball career by showing that one play. That was low-class and unnecessary when reporting the man's death.

Bill played that entire year on two bad achilles and without him they don't make the playoffs in 86. Boston treated him almost as bad as they treated Bill Russell. When Buckner finally came back to Fenway-some idiots put up a poster that said that they "forgive him". For what? He was a class act all the way.

What people forget is the guy had over 2700 hits in his major league career and as a life time average of .289. Not bad at all. Rip mr Buckner.

That's not done often .

People forget it was GAME 6, and Boston was leading in game 7 only to eventually lose. Also, even if he makes the play in game 6. it would have resulted in an additional inning, but would not have won the game.
