Buckner walking off of the field at the conclusion of Game 6, having just let Wilson's grounder roll through his legs. For some reason, he had chosen to wear his Cubs batting glove in the field, while having worn different batting gloves at the plate.

Love the MLB 100th Anniversary patch on the lower rib area of Reggie's sleeveless vest, and the fact that he apparently batted with his hat crammed down in his back pocket.
