Would You Pay $45 to Chill With Bill Buckner On Martha's Vineyard?



Meet fromer Red Sox Firtbaseman and current Brockton Rox manager Bill Buckner at Sharky's Cantina in Edgartown. On Saturday, May 14th, 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. Only 100 Tickets Availeble Admision: $45 Donation.  All Attendees will recieve an autograsped Sharks program and a Curt Shilling "Bobble Ankle" figurine.

$45 is a little steep for me.  Ya, ya, I know they are throwing in that sweet Curt Shilling "bobble ankle" doll leftover from the Brockton Rox game in 2005 but its still too much.  Plus, what the fuck do you say to this guy? There is only one image and question that pops in your head when you think of him and we all know what that is.  Sure you will be chill for most of the night.  Just sitting back you and Bill pounding Quesadillas and chicken wings for hours. You'd chat about the Sox new additions of Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford. Maybe even crack a few jokes and see if Bill ever thought of making a porno with that Ron Jeremy stache he's always sported.  Before you know it 8:45 rolls around and those 8 Black Cherry Mojitos you killed are going right to your head.  You were cool all night and then it happens.  The room starts to spin and you have one more question to ask as you stumble out on to the streets of Edgartown...


"Hey Bill.  You.. You... You remember that time in 1986 when the ball went between your legs?  Ya... that was awesome."
