Mailed Bill Buckner 4 cards and a check a few weeks ago. Received all 4 signed LAST WEEK with hit total 2715 written on the back as requested. Shocked and heartbroken to hear he passed away today. I wonder if I was the last request he had for autographs in the mail? I was putting off mailing to him for months and finally got them mailed to him a few weeks ago. While his is a common auto these 4 cards are meaningful to me considering the timing of them being signed. Very special in my collection. I always thought and heard he was a good man in addition to a great player. Glad to see so many nice articles written about him today echoing those thoughts. To bad one bad play overshadows a wonderful career. I hope in time future gens will be taught what a great player he was. He actually was a great base stealer the first half of his career.
Rest in peace classy MLB man. Your career is worthy of HOF mention and discussion.
