Not true- he's no speedster, but I'd bet he runs faster than Bill Freaking Buckner at the end of his career

I keep forgetting that most of you weren't even born in 1986.

I don't think there's ever been a pro athlete, in any sport, who looked worse running than Billy Buck at the end of his career. He literally looked like an old man, with knees that were barely held together, in shoes that were way too tight.

You've seen Kirk Gibson's famous HR, where he can barely get around the bases? That HR trot was close to Buckner's top speed, and I'm only exaggerating slightly.
