Bill Buckner was a professional baseball player known for his time as a first baseman in Major League Baseball (MLB). He played for several teams, including the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Dodgers, over a career that spanned 22 seasons from 1969 to 1990. Buckner was recognized for his hitting ability, accumulating over 2,700 hits and earning an All-Star selection in 1981. Despite his successful career, Buckner is often remembered for a critical error during the 1986 World Series while playing for the Red Sox. In Game 6, he let a ground ball go through his legs, which allowed the New York Mets to score the winning run. This moment became a significant part of baseball history, overshadowing his many accomplishments.
