Once I realized this meant I could get an autograph or six, I dug through the commons and found 4 cards of Buck. Like an idiot though, I completely forgot that I owned a copy of his book 'From Worst to First'. DERP!
Anyways, Buck was nice and friendly and didn't mind signing at all. I was disappointed that he didn't get more of a shot to manage the Jays, but I suppose that whole experience factor kind of worked against him.
Buck was always famous for his amazing play at home plate, when he tagged out two guys with a broken ankle. If you've never heard about that, read about it here. Theres's also a link to the video.
