It turns out that Buckner was fighting a double curse when he botched that ground ball in the '86 series. Not only was he a member of the cursed Red Sox, but he was wearing a CUBS batting glove underneath his first baseman's mitt. The Cub curse is even worse than the Red Sox curse. Amazing that he was willing to tempt fate like that. Turns out the glove was only discovered a couple of years ago by a 12 year old, and no experts had ever noticed.
Cool Story. Link.
