Bill Buckner was run out of Boston and now owns a Car Dealership 15 miles from my house in Emmett Idaho for one similar bad moment. Merkle and Buckner both were great players who should be remembered for other reasons, but at least they will always be remembered for something.

It reminds me of when I was playing baseball in College and I went on a date the day after striking out with the bases loaded to lose a game. The girl I was with saw the paper and even though I was embarassed, she thought it was cool and said, "hey at least you got your name in the paper." I guess she was right to some extent.
