Well, Joy,
They did it again! Unbelievable but the Sox won another game today!
And the Patriots won today too! 

As to Billy Buckner, I don't know where he is living now, but I doubt 
it's around here.  Poor ickle Bill.  But I think he's got a sense of 
humor about the whole thing, as I think he owns some batting cages 
somewhere in the NE area and (a previous fellow employee told me 
this, don't know if its really true), apparently, when you go through 
the entrance, there are a pair of legs (about 10 feet high or so), in 
full baseball regalia, on either side of the door!!  Good that he can 
laugh about it; don't know how many people besides him can even after 
17 years!
