. . . but apparently things have changed!
Earlier we mentioned Bill Buckner’s who-would-have-guessed-it-before-2004 return to Fenway Park yesterday. And, as this article mentions, Billy Boy was verklempt upon being received so kindly. But the article also highlights some of baseball’s greatest Buckner-esque gaffes. Check it out if you want to engage in schadenfreude (joy through other people’s misery) or relive the all-too-well-remembered pain, depending on your disposition. (Any guesses as to which category we belong?)
P.S. Thanks for sending this, Pat!

Is it baseball season already?! As an Orioles fan I guess I can be excused for not looking forward to the next 5 months. :)
Like I always say, Mark. Come over to the Dark Side. (That is, become a NE fan if you’re disappointed in your hometeam).
The link is a gem–worthy of its own post!
