At the Red Sox home opener against the Tigers Monday, one longtime goat finally received a warm welcome.
Could you imagine being made the ultimate scapegoat for one team’s misery for over two decades? Or how much hate and angst he received from psychotic fans who base their whole lives off of what their favorite sports teams accomplish? I don’t care who you are – that’s a great moment for Buckner.
That’s a great moment for Buckner, but I doubt the Red Sox faithful would have been as kind without the club’s recent success.
Your probably right John – But it was the right thing to do. Let it go people – it’s only a game.
Maybe the Cubs will do the right thing with Stevie B ?
I say Cubs-Red Sox World Series and you have Buckner and Bartman out there throwing out the first pitch………what….a….sight….
I agree – their recent success is the only reason those miserable fans were able to finally give him his due.
That said, it is definitely the right thing to do and at least Buckner can now live in peace.
Cubs-Sawx … awesome ! The most watch World Series Ever ?
