I've been a baseball fan for over 40 years. More than people just playing baseball here, there are great life lessons to be had. First, this goes to show who your friends really are when things go south. The people making rude and obscene comments are the perfect example, and they could also use a good psychiatric evaluation. Two faced fans are the absolute worse. The true love of a fan comes through both the bitter and the sweet. It's a game. We're human, and we make mistakes. And I for one, have made many mistakes which have taught me great life lessons. I've learned best, the hard way. That's what I get for being so thick-headed.

[@randyrobey5643]

I believe Buckner was injured when he missed the famous play at first base. He had a bad ankle, if I remember. Putting him in the game was a gamble that didn't pan out. He caught a ton of abuse for the play, but he did what he could. I can still see the look on his face when it happened. Ugh.

I was watching the game when the Buckner error happened. He was in a crouch stance 20 feet behind the bag. He also had the worst knees in Baseball. On the other hand, Mookie Wilson was one of the fastest runners in Baseball and by the time the ball reaches Buckner, Mookie was nearly halfway down the line running full speed. I've seen the replay 50 times since then and my opinion has not changed. Even if Buckner fields the ball cleanly there's no way he beats Mookie to the bag. And yet he's had to live with the shame of that error for all these years. Man, talk about cruel fate.

@artfuldp You are 1000% correct. Mookie Wilson was insanely fast. Bob Stanley didn't get off the mound fast enough for Buckner to feel that he could go to a knee, catch it and toss it to Stanley covering first. The official scorer ruled it E3 as opposed to an infield hit for Mookie, but the official scorer was wrong.

Apparently, the man was so hated in Boston after the game he had to move himself and his family to Idaho because of the backlash. He would stay there for the remainder of his life btw.

[@DionysusAlS]

Bartman didn't do himself any favors by being such a nudnik.

I'm in Chicago and was a Cubs fanatic back then, and I certainly didn't blame Bartman for the Cubs losing.

If Lonnie scores (and everything else goes the same way), then the Braves really do go from Worst to First, but instead they only got to be Worst to First in the NL. Just at a glance it's also fair to give credit to Chuck Knoblach for heroically duping the Braves out of the World Series, and also the third base coach (Jimmy Williams if memory serves) doesn't seem to be helping things.
