Ya think it might be because more people watch the Men's game and attend those games?

Peace

The answer to your first question would be "Why not?"

The answer to your second would be "DUH!!"

I guess this is the internet, I guess we should not expect any more than that.

And again, the points go sailing over your head, much like a BoSox outfielder watching the homeruns go past...

Wait...not always...sometimes their firstbasemen watch the ball go between their legs.

You can watch Mr. Buckner over and over and over and over...

Buckner was on some program the other night and he said he is constantly reminded of that 1 play. Even though I am not a Bosox fan (who is other than Chuck), but you have to feel sorry for the guy. If I remember right, he was actually injured during the series. Yankees rule!!

DrakeM Thu Apr 03, 2003 07:18am

Ok.
I'm not a Sox fan,
BUT.....
The game was already TIED when the ball went through Buckner's legs!
(Chuck, you owe me!);):D

ChuckElias Thu Apr 03, 2003 07:41am

Ok, this has obviously been rehashed ad nauseum up here in New England, but as Drake pointed out, the Sox had already blown a 3-run lead. So the bullpen is as much to blame for the loss as Buckner.

Secondly, Buckner's ankles had been bad for much of the season, at least since the All-Star break. He was routinely replaced in the late innings of games that season for defensive purposes. The fact is that even if Buckner had come up with the ball, it's not at all a given that he would've beaten the runner to the bag. He just couldn't run. However, b/c it was the first Series-clinching game for the Sox in almost 70 years, the manager wanted Buckner on the field to celebrate the final out. So bullpen woes and sentimentality are to blame more than the man himself.

I think there are very few in Boston who still blame him or hold the grudge. We all remember that it was him, of course; but it wasn't all his fault. (In fact, he was brought back to the Sox near the end of his career and received a standing ovation when he took the field at Fenway.)

Kevzebra,
The mechanics are the same.
Over-exuberance of immediately selling the call could have been the cause of the double whistle, or it could have been in the dual coverage area.
Either way, prevention may be found in a slower whistle.
...And that's no different from Women's mechanics.

mick, I think Kevzebra is saying that it's not a double foul in Women's ball. They go with the call of the official who's primary the foul occurred in. But IMHO, that can also be a gray area.

Tony,
I thought he was implying that in Women's ball that two officials will never have a blarge. Because they stay in their primaries, it will never happen.
That ain't so.

We've discussed before that in NBA and NCAA Women's play, this is not a double foul. It's the primary's call that will be used. I'm pretty sure that's what he was referring to. Perhaps he/she will confirm.
