Reggie Jackson says Bill Buckner was not only a great guy, but a great baseball player -- and it sucks he had to spend years dealing with the blowback from that infamous World Series error.
Reggie and Bill played during the same era in the '70s and '80s and you can tell by the clip, Reggie really liked the guy.
Of course, Bill passed away Monday after a battle with dementia. He was 69.
But Reggie says he feels terrible that Bill had to deal with such a ridiculous amount of harassment after letting that ground ball go through his legs in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
