Only the BIGGEST choke in Major league Baseball.....NO OTHER TEAM IN MLB HAS BLOWN A 3-0 LEAD (and don't even try and compare that to the Ball between Buckner's legs.....that only made it a 3-3 series tie).........And what have they done since then.....that pretty much sucked the "Mystique" right out of them. |

Buckner cost them the World Series but I guess in your little world the ALCS is more important.  |

Actually, he didn't....Calvin Schiraldi, "Boston Creme Bob" Stanley and Rich Gedman cost them that game. Should never have gotten to the point where the ball could go through his legs
Buckner was just the Goat.... |

I've been saying the same things for years!
Bob Stanley, wild pitch let in the tying run after Schiraldi gave up a 2 run lead!
Manager should have been hung for leaving Buckner in that late in the game !
I think it was Dave Stapleton who played 1st base late innings all season long ! |

Yep...Macnamara always put him in for Buckner late in the game for defense....just not that game |

Don't lose sight of the fact that Buckner's rusty gate imitation came in game 6, and it was already tied, with the momentum swung the Mets' way, and---most importantly--the Sox had a 3-0 lead in game 7 and Buckner wasn't around to blow it.
If Buckner fielded that ball cleaniy, he still would have had a had time beating Mookie Wilson to the bag. And do you really think that fatass Stanley would have gotten over to cover the bag in time? There was no one--NO ONE--faster from the box to first in the mid-80s than Mookie Wilson. He was two steps down the line by the time the bat left his hands  |
