The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
We are coming upon the 20th anniversary of one of the most heartbreaking moments ever in Boston sports history. The 20th anniversary of this
If you have a heart condition or homicidal/suicidal tendencies view at your own risk. This was probably the highlight/lowlight of the Curse of the Bambino. A rolling grounder, that a high school player could field to lose game six, and game you were one out away to winning the Series . . .
This play has been analyzed and over analyzed, and yes, Schiraldi has as much blame for this as Buckner, but Buckner has become the symbol. Buckner, with is busted ankles, and average glove, should not have been in there, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Well, their is some new information brought to light by ESPN's Page 2. Evidently, after reviewing some pictures of Buckner for a 20th anniversary article about the play, someone noticed something. A picture of Buckner leaving the field, after the play, glove removed from his hand . .
That's right my fellow Nation Members. He was wearing a Cub's batting glove on his fielding hand under his glove. He was doubly cursed. Read more on Page 2's Uni Watch.
I am Malach and Bill Buckner, I forgive you (2004 has made us soft).

Nice catch! I mean, nice catch to ESPN.
In the director's cut version of the broadcast, you also find out that he had a picture of Mike Dukakais on the inside of his ballcap.
Three times cursed.
I always thought it was a moustached Dukakis mask.
wow cool
