Buckner is most remembered for a game ending error on a slow roller off the bat of Mookie Wilson in the tenth inning of Game 6 when playing for the Boston Red Sox in the 1986 World Series against the New York Mets. The play aroused the anger of Red Sox fans and has since become prominently entrenched in American baseball lore.[1]

Instead of being "The" hero he became the one who lost it all for Boston
That may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things as it should be but in our eagerness to judge all things by your score in the Colosseum it was made him immortal for the wrong reasons

He was a really good ball player and a great 1st baseman.
Look at his stats, when he was with the Dodgers he was really good.
The media made him a goat.
