22 years after Bill Buckner allegedly blew the 1986 world series, Buckner was welcomed back with open arms in Boston. Open arms? did I say open arms? I should say a 2 minute standing ovation. In what was a real class act by The Boston Redsox organization and the Red Sox fans, Bill Buckner was invited back to throw out the first pitch of the 2008 baseball season at Fenway Park. Buckner was introduced as a “champion” during a day of champions as the red sox recieved their world championship rings. Buckner wiped away a tear, glad that a ball that went through his legs 22 years ago..can finally be forgiven.
