Buckner to Speak at Winter Banquet

The 7th Annual Burlington Bees/Friends of Community Field Winter Banquet will be held on Friday, January 15th in the PZAZZ! Convention & Events Center. This year's event will feature former baseball great Bill Buckner as the keynote speaker. The event will also include an exciting line of autographed memorabilia and collectible items that can be purchased through auctions or won through a raffle.

I'm not going to mention that thing for which he his best known, because there was so much more to his career than that one game at Shea Stadium in 1986. Like:

Mainly an outfielder and first-basemen, Buckner played for five teams in his 22-year career: the Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, Angels, and Royals. He was known as one of the more consistent contact hitters in the major leagues. In 2,517 games, Buckner accumulated 2,715 hits and only 453 strikeouts. He ended his career with 174 home runs, 1,208 RBI, and a .289 batting average.
