It was Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, and the Red Sox were seconds away from winning their first championship in 68 years. But, Bill Buckner let a routine groundball go through his legs, and the rest was history.
After 22 years, the Boston Red Sox Nation has finally accepted the man who left them hopeless when all signs pointed to the light at the end of the tunnel. It was a touching moment – you have got feel great for Buckner.
