I met Bill Buckner in the mid 1990's when he was a hitting coach in the Blue Jays Minor League system. He signed a 1993 Ted Williams baseball card for me. Mr. Buckner had a solid MLB career which included a batting title in 1980, 2,715 career hits and a lifetime batting average of .289. In my opinion, that is a strong case for the Hall of Fame. However, Bill's amazing career was overshadowed by one costly mistake during game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Regardless, I'm very happy to have Mr. Bucker's autograph in my collection!
