The butt of a million jokes and the name that would cause chills down the spines of Sox fans whenever it was uttered is back in Boston. Who you ask? Bucky "F'in" Dent? Nay. Grady Little? Nope.

Bill Buckner.

The former member of the doomed 1986 Red Sox is in town to throw out the first pitch for Opening Day . No word yet if Steve Bartman or Billy Sianis and his pet goat will be joining him for today's festivities.

We're sure the fans at Fenway will treat him with the respect he deserves. Welcome back, Buckner.
