In the bottom of the 10th inning, with a two-run lead, first-baseman Bill Buckner let a ground-ball to skip through his legs

Yet another gaffe in this very poorly written article.

The game was tied when the ball when between Buckner's legs.

John Kerry was actually running the Boston Marathon when he was supposed to be at Game 6 in New York.

Congratulations for being the first on this thread to catch it. I always felt bad for Bill Buckner taking the rap for the game tying, not the game losing error in the 6th and not thepivitol 7th game. What is seldom noted is that the Red Sox had a gaping hole at First Base before Bill Buckner took on the position. He not only played it splendidly during the regular season but had over 100 RBIs from the number two spot.

That in itself was noteworthy, but does anyone remember that Billy Bucks struck out only 25 times that year and was one of the best clutch hitters in the game?
