I doubt it. And for that, I have to applaud the Red Sox. It was never Buckner's fault anyway.... Mcnamara should have taken him out. And I still don't think that Buckner would have beaten Mookie Wilson to the bag anyway.
Red Sox fans never blamed Buckner..it's McNamara that usually gets the vitriol.
Quite possibly true, but if Buckner fields it cleanly, Knight doesn't score from second on the play. Of course, if that had happened, the odds of the Red Sox retiring the next batter were about 1 in 6 billion, so it was probably moot in the end.
And yes, Buckner was unfairly given the bulk of the blame for that inning, when McNamara, Schiraldi, Stanley and Gedman all had co-starring roles in that miserable ****ing frame.
Just wonderful.
From the first base side we could see Dwight Evans standing with uniform shirt and glove. When they started announcing the ceremonial first pitch, they were talking about a key player for Boston in the 1986 regular season - yep, Dewey - and the playoffs - yep, Dewey. Seriously, we were all shocked when it came: "number 6, Bill Buckner!" Holy crap, yeah!
The rest of the ceremony was great, as was the game. Nice to see Matsuzaka pitch himself out of trouble, rather than imploding in an inning.
There was also an appearance by the red-tailed hawk that had nested in Fenway in the offseason. That was interesting, but a little creepy. Ooh, that reminds me - Steven Tyler sang "God Bless America".
