Forgiveness?

It felt good to see Bill Buckner throw out the first pitch before the Sox first home game. I have always maintained that the way he was treated by Bostonians following his famous error in the '86 World Series was classless at best. During the 1986 Series I was only 8 years old. I barely have any recollection of it, and at the time, I certainly had no perspective on what it meant for the Sox to lose that game and the series. I'm just glad that after all he and his family went through that he was able to put it all behind him and make an appearance in Boston again. If the Sox didn't have two titles at this point, I'm not so sure Bill would be back. I'm sorry if this makes you question my fanhood, but it is the truth.
