@Chris - That's a cool card. Has there been a player with so many gets such little respect? I've watched that play at least 100x, I still say Mookie would have beat him to the bag!
Buckner should be remembered for his fine career and for almost reaching 3000 hits ( I think he had over 2700). Unfortunately, one lousy play, and he is remembered as a bonehead. I guess that's baseball.
Is this the image Mookie Wilson was thinking while running to first base during Game 6?
Love this card. I got Buckner to autograph this card a number of years ago. I don't think he was that crazy about it...
ReplyDeleteThis one's cooler ... 1985 Fleer:

Now, if you could just Photoshop the rolled up tarp from the UD card to the Fleer card.....

ReplyDeleteTony - You are right. He's the Fred Merkle of this era.
