ESPN had an intriguing perspective on it today. They had an interview with Buckner and his wife, talking about how Sox fans would say "we forgive Buckner now" after the Sox won two WS titles.
His wife's take on it was, Buckner was the one who should be forgiving the fans. Buckner was crucified in Boston for years, so much so that his family moved to Idaho to get away from Boston fans.
The story really made me think about it from Buckner's perspective - good story...
