Forgiven

The opening ceremonies to the Red Sox home opener yesterday made me - and a lot of other people - cry. I've always felt so badly for Bill Buckner because people up here held him responsible for the 1986 Red Sox loss of the World Series.

Yesterday, all was forgiven.

The most beautiful word in the dictionary....Forgiven.

Kristen, not everyone felt that way about him. He led the team in runs batted in that year and they would never have been in the world series if it wasn't for him, daddy.

Wow I learned something today. I never knew all that. I wouldn't have blamed him.
