Vintage Bloom!  Glad to know he still delights in baiting the fans.  That
sure was a shame, though, Buckner's error.  He was a great player,
and that's what he'll be remembered for.  He couldn't do anything
right.  I remember that a lot of commentators [and fans] shit on him
because he crashed the wall trying to catch Hank Aaron's record
homerun.  As I see it, he was trying to help his team win a game...
