Bill Buckner Returns to Fenway Park

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

In a classy move, the Boston Red Sox invited former first-baseman Bill Buckner to throw out the first pitch for opening day at Fenway Park.  Buckner had been made into a goat by Red Sox fans due to a botched play on a slow roller in game six of the 1986 World Series.  Buckner recieved a long deserved ovation from the capacity crowd.
