Bill Buckner passed away early the morning of May 27th surrounded by his family. 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."

Buckner played parts of five seasons with the Red Sox. He drove in more than 100 runs in both 1985 and 1986, but was also the face of the 1986 World Series collapse against the New York Mets. His error in the 10th inning of Game 6 allowed the Mets to come back and win the series, prolonging the franchise's long World Series drought.
