| From USA Today interview 11/24/2003: In the interview, Kerry cautioned his rivals not to count him out just yet. "I was about 30 yards away from Billy Buckner when that ball wiggled away," he says, a reference to the infamous error by the Red Sox first basemen when the team was on the verge of winning the World Series in 1986. "I had cracked a bottle of champagne, was jumping up and down — prematurely. Nobody should celebrate prematurely. This race is really open."
Game 6 of the 1986 World Series was held in New York City, on the evening of October 25, 1986.

| #19 If it gets back to Boston, everybody's waiting to see if this asshole and his entourage show up to muscle their way into Fenway for the sixth or seventh game. That'll screw a couple of hundred people outta their seats. And, if I'm Buckner, I come back to Boston just to shove a bat up his ass just for bringing that ugly memory up. |

| #15 This just in: "Skeery has revealed that he was aboard the Leonov for its 2010 Space Odyssey and was present when chlorophyll was detected by a probe on the Jupiter moon Europa. He personally flew a probe to the oddly-named moon's surface, interviewed the entity detected, and has reported back that 'Jacques', the EUropa entity, warned him that continued failure to coordinate American policy with the UN and EU would lead to catatrophic consequences. HAL concurred, according to the intrepid Senator - Astronaut, though this account can't be confirmed because Odyssey's antenna was manually pointed away from Earth. Additionally, there has been no comment, as yet, from Roy Scheider or the Monolith." |

| #8 Yes, It remember it well... it was a Christmas Eve night game back in Boston, er, New York - and a helluvalot colder... My lucky hat was shaped like a baseball cap that day - and I had to imagine it had ear flaps to keep me warm, though I was sweating like a dog flying through the air between Swift Boats under fire and hitting mines left and right. I ran Buckner down with an M-15, or was it my M-17? Anyway, I shot that sucker and he got one off before he passed on - a rice grenade which nearly severed my arm. If not for my Felix the Cat Lucky hat, which transformed itself into a time machine and took me far far into the future, where I saw myself running for President of an electorate who would believe anything I said and a conspiratorial MSM who would only report what my advisors wanted them to. What a grand vision, it was... "Wake up, Senator! You have another speech to give. No - leave the lucky hat in your briefcase..." |

| #7 Wow, I figured the game must have been played in Cambodia. |

| #6 I don't remember the 86 games but I lived in Boston for the 75 world series and I can say it is seared, seared, into my memory. I almost missed my birthday because of that damn series. My parents would have dumped me off with a babysitter in heartbeat if there was any delays or anything. |

| #5 I was in a Tijuana motel with a girlfriend. I certainly had more fun than Kerry at that dinner. She made me forget the pain of the moment... |

| #4 Actually, he is correct. The head waiter at the banquet was a guy named Billy Buckner. He was in the back of the room near the TV set that was tuned to the game. When the ballplayer Billy Buckner missed the grounder, he shouted as load as he could "You f**king worthless piece of sh*t" and that is when Kerry looked up from popping his champagne! |

| #3 No wonder Buckner missed that ball, he wasn't even in New York! |
