November 10th Birthdays

Red Sox closer Bob Stanley turns 57. Although Bill Buckner gets much of the blame for Game 6 of the 1986 World Series(no explanation there), a chunk of the blame should belong to otherwise solid closer Bob Stanley. With 2 outs and and runners on first and third, the Red Sox pulled ineffective pitcher Calvin Schiraldi who had given up a run to decrease the Red Sox lead to 5-4. Then, Stanley threw a wild pitch scoring Kevin Mitchell and putting Bob Knight in scoring position, tying the game. Then, the fatal ball went through Buckner’s legs. Anyway, Stanley had an otherwise strong career in 13 years with Boston, making 2 All Star Games with 132 career saves.
