It was THE ONE ERROR for which he will be forever remembered.

.991 FP for a 1B is well below average. this year, there are 23 qualified 1B, the lowest has a .990 FP
pulling up a random buckner year, in 86 he was 13/16 qualified 1B in FP.
people forget there was a good chance mookie beats out the play at first even with a clean catch by buckner.
