Buckner was man enough to appear on Curb Your Enthusiasm this past season, in which Larry David wrote a show that spoofed the moment. Larry befriends Buckner at a baseball card show, and tosses him the Mookie Wilson ball he had signed...which slips through Buckner's hands and drops out a window! Later in the episode a woman is forced to throw her baby three stories out of a burning building, and Buckner catches it on a fly and ends up the hero. But the episode had passersby cursing him as he walked down the street, and he told Larry he gets that every day. I bet that part is true.
