howbout Mitch Williams of Phillies in 1993 ?
he gave up Joe Carter's series ending homer
Mitch endured death threats

the saddest story I know ...
(concerning single event ruining a great career)
is Billy Buckner
in 1986 World Series, his error opened the door for Mets to win World Series against my RedSox
I was in Boston at the time

talk about the Curse of the Bambino !!!

Buckner's career is pure Hall of Fame
not gonna happen
check his stats, incredibly strong year after year
the untold story is he had bad knee injury that game
he shouldnt have played, but committed error from lack of stretch range

Fox Sports Legends has told the story, fine piece
so it isnt really an untold story
but for years, it was untold

Buckner had to move his family out of Boston area
death threats, constant taunting of his children
he is now hiding in Idaho
