Billy Buck...

Thanks for forgiving us, Bill.

I'M SO PROUD TO SEE THAT BOSTON FANS GAVE BILL BUCKNER THE CLASS RECEPTION HE HAS HAD COMEING FOR ALL THESE YEARS HE NEVER LOST A WORLD SERIES HE WAS GUILTY OF TRYING TO WIN IT ALL FOR US WHEN MAYBE HE WASN,T HEALTHY ENOUGH TO DO IT AND THATS WHAT PLAYING IN BOSTON TAKES! WELCOME HOME MR. BUCKNER.

A Billy Buck ovation at Fenway. It's about time. There may be hope for this new ownership after all.

20 + years of injustice...Hope he can forgive us.

And it was an added bonus for me to see Dewey Evans catch that ball.

A class act all around!

A class act on Mr Buckner's part, as well as a class act on the Red Sox organization's part. And the warm ovation the fans gave him was very well-deserved.

People seem to have forgotten, or it's been lost in all the Buckner-as-hated-goat mythology, but Sox fans publicly forgave Buckner long ago. When the Sox re-signed him for the 1990 season, I was in the bleachers opening day when he was introduced and we all gave him a standing ovation. I will never forget it. It didn't take a WS ring for Sox fans to forgive him. They already had. It was my proudest moment as a sox fan.

I remember it like it was yesterday, and Buckner couldn't move either achilles tendon. I can still see him in my mind's eye trying to run the bases without being able to move his feet. He missed the ball at first because he couldn't bend down.

As much as the loss hurt -- and it hurt -- it was never right to blame him. He was playing hurt. Maybe he shouldn't have been in there, but that wasn't his decision.

I remember game 6 - Clemens started that game, and had a 1-0 lead, as I recall. He was due up at the top of an inning (the fifth?) and McNamara put in a pinch hitter to try and get insurance runs. Nobody on, nobody out. Roger had been running out of gas, but I don't think his tank was empty.

In his previous WS game, Roger had sucessfully laid down a sacrifice bunt.

Instead of having Roger take three strikes and be able to go back to the mound, someone else got an out.

I never, ever blamed Billy Buck for losing game six. 21 years later, I still think pulling Roger early was a bad idea.

I¹ve actually taken the 10 minutes it requires to join this wacky bunch of optimists and I¹m hoping that there are others out there that will spare the change to try this. READ ON. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send only $1.00 to each of the 6 email addresses stated in this article. You then place your name and address at the bottom of the list at the #6th position and email it to your friends as well as post this message (with your email address in the list) to at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except $6.00,right? So I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!! Within days, I started getting money coming into my Pay Pal account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00 which means that 25 people joined the group after they saw my posted messages. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it¹s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it¹s still coming in rapidly. It¹s certainly worth $6.00,and the few minutes it took to join Paypal. I have spent more than that on the lottery! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions EXACTLY, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It¹s that easy. It¹s legal. And, your investment is only $6.00.

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not ; and it is virtually no risk- it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $20,000 or more can be yours in 4 to 6 weeks. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it¹s a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Take a few minutes to join Paypal.
The Internet's most trusted Internet banking system for your future income. When creating your Paypal account make sure you use the same Email address as your user name in the list below so people can send money to your account.

STEP 2 Once you have a Paypal account running, use Paypal to post $1 to EACH of the 6 Email Addresses below because you pay people with an email address in Paypal. To do this you may need to use a credit card, which is very easy, and secure so nobody but Paypal may see it. If you don¹t have a credit card show this great lucrative offer to someone that has one and get them to help you pay the $6. What you are doing is creating a service. This is absolutely legal! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. But I looked around and did some homework and found it was perfectly legal. Here are the 6 individual Email addresses that you have to send $1 to through Paypal for this to work properly and for you to receive money.

1.) caper1974@lycos.com
2.) melindabarrera@tiagris.com
3.) angelemeraldsweddings@gmail.com
4.) georgewalsh2000@yahoo.com
5.) stevegross02@yahoo.com
6.) angelinamatthews@hotmail.com

STEP 3 Now take the #1 Email Address off the list that you see above, move the other Email Addresses up (6 becomes 5,5 becomes 4,etc.) and add Your Email Address as number 6 on the list.

STEP 4 Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands of groups). And email your message to as many people you can. But remember, the more you post and email the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. You are simply paying into a money making chain of participants and if the chain is broken you are screwing someone else out of their fair share. So, as each person who joins the family and the directions are followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. You then insert your Email Address into the list and it will move up geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will have potentially received thousands of dollars in your account!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above).

HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS: Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com, etc., then search with the subject ‘‘millionaire message board’’ or ‘‘money making message board’’ or ‘‘employment message board’’or ‘‘money making discussions’’ or ‘‘money making forum’’ or ‘‘business message board’’ etc.You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click on them one by one and you will find the option post a new message.
Post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting copy then paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message on. You're done with your first one! Only takes about 60 seconds to complete postings on message boards after you catch on.

REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200! That is it! You will begin receiving money in your account from around the world within days! JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.

Now the WHY part out of 200 postings Say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at # 5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5,this is an additional $25.00 for me. Now those 24 each make 200 minimum posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each. This brings in an additional $125.00. Now those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00. Ok, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each. That just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 react, I will receive an additional $15,625.00!! With an investment of only $6.00!! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to Email Addresses using Paypal on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday. JUST LIKE YOU ARE NOW!! So, can you afford $6.00 to see if it really works?? I think so! People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? : Anyway, it is only $6.00 for a chance at thousands. Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. There's no use trying to cheat for only $6.00
