There are a few events you never get tired of watching. May 6, 1998 was one of them.

You would think the batter would have been able to hit at least one of those balls.

My only Buckner story - I was in Des Moines to visit a friend who had season tickets to the I-Cubs.  The subject of Bill Buckner came up and he mentioned seeing the Chicago Cubs play at Sec Taylor Stadium.  Buckner hustled as if the game meant something.

Buckner didn't know any other way to play.  He always "respected 90."

He didn't have much of a voice but Bill Buckner conducted the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley a number of times and it was always fun to listen to his interviews.

I'm guessing we'll see him on the video board during the next homestand.   Maybe he'll even be added to the list of Cubs greats who have that distinction on a regular basis.
