Swirsky is the current owner of the Buckner Ball
As an interesting aside, Swirsky has what he claims to be a note from 86 Red Sox manager John McNamara regarding the Buckner Ball. The text of that note follows:
Seth:I hate to remember the 86 W.S. — it still is bitter. Bill Buckner is not to blame for that loss as we had chances to score more & didnt capitalize; The wild pitch or passed ball that tied the game was the “major” factor in that inning. The ground ball just ended the game.John
