Exactly. Buckner got a bad rap too. Watch the replay. Buckner would never have beaten Mookie Wilson to the bag and the pitcher broke late from the mound. Even if he catches the grounder, the run scores.
Buckner lives somewhere like North Dakota or Montana. Yes, Buckner never beats WIlson to the bag and the run scores. The game was already tied due to bad ptching by pitchers whose name I can't remember (I'm guilty of Buckner association too). But, Buckner is remembered for that play and not his clutch play throughout that postseason or his 2700 career hits.
