It Was 25 Years Ago Today

The Sox choked away their chance at their first World Series title in 86 years.  First of all, fuck 'em.  Secondly, this guy HERE correctly points out that they'd already choked several times over before Buckner's error; Buckner has been abused way too much, while Shiraldi et al haven't received a scratch.  I also don't recall Buckner turning around and losing Game 7 single-handedly, either.  Thirdly, how crazy is it that of all the billions of people in the world, Bill Buckner of all people is the one that looks as if Sam Malone and Cliff Clavin had a baby?  Finally, more than anything I'm impressed by the guy that recreated the at-bat on a Nintendo. Wow.
