Long enough that Bill Buckner, whose 102 RBI's for the Red Sox that season were eclipsed by his error at first base in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, was chosen to throw out the first pitch of Boston's home opener at Fenway Park on Tuesday as the Red Sox celebrated their 2007 title and gave out World Series rings, as reported by ESPN.com. Loud cheers and a long ovation greeted Buckner, who occasionally dabbed at his eyes as he walked to the mound to throw out the first pitch. Former Red Sox' Dwight Evans caught his throw from the mound. |
