RIP Bill Buckner
Bad week for the sports world.

quote:
"After battling the disease of Lewy Body Dementia, Bill Buckner passed away early the morning of May 27th surrounded by his family," his family said in a statement. "Bill fought with courage and grit as he did all things in life. Our hearts are broken but we are at peace knowing he is in the arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Well, this one really hits close to home. Buckner was still a young dodger, as in close to my age, when I was still a pretty big dodger fan. Dying at age 69 of dementia? That’s horrible.
