Billy "F***ing" Buckner

Ah, the glories of the Internet.

First, a dude out in San Diego (is there anyone in San Diego besides a "dude") splices the audio broadcast from Game 6 of the 1986 World Series with a recreation of the action on, yep, RBI Baseball. For those of you who can't imagine this, it's basically Vin Scully talking over an exact action replica of the game.

Then the dude gets an interview on Yahoo Sports, where he comes off as surprisingly normal. Plus, an exec from a movie production company saw the video and hired the dude as a Production Assistant. Not bad for 10 hours (yep, 10 hours) of work.

So, what do we learn from this?

1) Bill Buckner committed an error that broke the hearts of Red Sox fans everywhere.
2) We (yes, we) had already choked a two-run, two-out lead in the bottom of the ninth away. Somehow, this is always forgotten when people rush to blame Bill Buckner for all things wrong in the world (pre-2004 when the Sox finally won the damn World Series). Oh, and we lost Game 7 too, just for kicks I suppose.
3) Make a cool video, become a semi-Internet celebrity, get a job, get interviewed on Yahoo Sports. Almost the same career trajectory as Paris Hilton, minus all the nudity.
