"(John) McNamara never even considered replacing Bill Buckner with dependable Dave Stapleton. Sure, Buckner was being held together by glue, spit, and little wads of bubble gum. And sure, Stapleton had served as a late-game replacement throughout the regular season and playoffs. Buckner, however, was a warrior, a guy who had given the Red Sox his heart and guts. If anyone deserved to be on the field for the victory celebration, it was good old number 6... This will go down as the greatest managerial screwup in baseball history." - Author Jeff Pearlman in The Bad Guys Won! (2004) |

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
