I know there's another thread that touches on this..

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/bill-buckner-dead-1986-world-series-boston-red-sox-los-angeles-dodgers-chicago-cubs

We seem to be losing many of the greats lately (both sports and non-sports)..

What strikes close to home with Buckner is that my mom is battling this same form of dementia and is about 2 years into her battle with the disease but she's much older than he was....

Be good to one another and live every day to the fullest..

Sad to hear. Dementia is an awful disease to watch a loved one go through.

I always liked Bill Buckner as a ballplayer. He came out to play every night and played the game as it should be played. He definitely deserved better than what Boston gave him. RIP

This is indeed a sad day for baseball. I'm just happy I got to watch him play when I was a kid. He was always right there in thick of things for better or worse. True Grit. RIP Bill Buckner... You will be missed. ------------------------------- Joseph P.S. Inzirillo III
