As a Cubs fan, I thought about posting this the day it happened, but decided against it.

Bill Buckner is my all-time favorite player.  In a time when the Cubs were trash, he was a silver lining.  Learned to bat left handed in whiffle ball imitating his stance.  Even had a black whiffle bat. 

Fun fact - in 19 seasons, Buckner never walked more than 40 times.  But amazingly, he also never struck out more than 40 times in a single season.

RIP #22.
