Wow, that was something I thought I'd never see in my lifetime; Bill Buckner getting a standing O by a packed Fenway Park. Also can't say I thoughtI'd see the Red Sox win 2 championships before I graduated college
lol wow Bill Buckner just threw out the opening pitch at Fenway

My Dad would still punch him in his face if he saw him. Sorry Bill but some people don't forget.

Yeah, I was shocked by that. I thought it was a really funny, but nice moment. Buckner shed a tear.

Dude was a great player, still unfair people judge him off one miscue.
If Boston never won those 2 rings this decade I'm pretty sure he would not be there today.

Would've been comedy if Varitek let the pitch pass between his legs.

Your dad would be better off punching whoever the pitcher was that night who gave up a ton of hits in that inning. Buckner was the least of Boston'sproblems in that inning.

Bill Buckner went to my high school, people still talk about how he could hit the ball out of the field.

I'm glad he threw out the pitch, when the Sox won in 2004, so many people were happy for Buckner because it absolved him of a lot of blame.
I know that some people went out to his home to ask him his opinion and I think he just wanted to move on from 1986. The fact that he showed up at Fenway sothat Boston could show him their appreciation is a great thing because he was a good player who shouldn't be branded for one error.

Wasn't even Buckner's fault
He's just an scape goat, just like how Steve Bertman was the scape goat for them losing that game.

That would have been a little more fitting than a pitch.

Bill Buckner on the broadcast with NESN just said if Jacque Jones read the ball better he should have made the catch in left.
