He hit .289 with 2,715 hits and a .408 on-base average. Buckner was a tough out, a great competitor and the kind of guy that you wanted on your team. Indeed, a great major league hitter.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
