I'll bet he's glad Shea Stadium is going to be demolished

Bill Buckner returned to Fenway today and received a five minute standing ovation. Video at HuffPo, along with his classic error in the 1986 World Series. As an '86 Mets fan, I'm glad for the guy -- I really am -- though I can guarantee you the fans wouldn't have been this effusive if the BoSox hadn't won the '04 and '07 World Series.

On a related note, never wear a Cubs batting glove under your fielding glove, at least not if you play first base for the BoSox in the World Series.
