I remember where I was when that game occurred quite well. I was on a date and the game was on TV in a restaurant in Houston where we were having dinner. The woman I was with wasn't into baseball at all and I could tell she was irritated with me paying more attention to the game than her - and that was even before the Buckner play. When the Buckner play occurred and the rest of the collapse, I was just trying to maintain my composure but doing a really bad job of it. Needless to say that was our last date upon mutual consent. I can't recall exactly what she said to me, but I recall telling her that this game will last in baseball infamy for ages to come if you can't appreciate that then there's no future for us.
