during the Kison/George Bell karate kick brawl Buckner kicked the Jays aged pitching coach when the old man was on the ground, i was 10 rows up on the sidelines at The Ex enjoying one of the more noted games of the era in 1985....
the 86 WS infamy could not have happened to a nicer guy
but hey, all is well, his appearance on Curb was a great and grand gesture, and he helped the 74 Dodgers get to the WS.
RIP Sir....
