Buckner's career highlight came during the 1986 World Series while playing for the Boston Red Sox. In game six, with the Red Sox in a commanding 3-2 series lead and one out from winning their first World Series title since 1918, Buckner allowed a routine ground ball to go between his legs which sparked a New York Mets comeback, and they won game six, and eventually, the series. This mistake branded him as the scapegoat for the Red Sox's loss and subjected him to years of ridicule from fans and the media, a single moment overshadowing an impressive career.In total, we tracked 1458 items since 01/01/2008.
