It's been 22 years and two World Series championships, but poor Bill Buckner still can't catch a break.
The following is from a Bloomberg News Service story about former Fed charman Alan Greenspan's testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform today. SEC chairman Christopher Cox former Treasury Secretary John Snow also tesified. (And, yes, don't be so surprised that the simpleton sports goons know who these three guys are. We have failing 401(k)s too, you know!!!")
"Addressing the trio that oversaw the U.S. financial markets as the housing bubble developed, Representative John Yarmuth, a Democrat from Kentucky, characterized them as "three Bill Buckners,'' referring to the Boston Red Sox first baseman whose fielding error some fans blame for the team's loss in the 1986 World Series."
Enough with the Bill Buckner already!!! Let the man live in peace!!!
