Larry David Doesn't Hate the Red Sox As Much as He Used To, Will Feature Bill Buckner in Upcoming Episode of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'
Good news? Or who the fuck cares?
In an upcoming episode this season, David will seek out the advice of former Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner after letting a ground ball get by him during a softball game.
After writing the script for the episode, David initially worried if Buckner would want to play along.
“I didn’t want to change the character to Bruckner,” David admits. Ultimately, Buckner agreed to come on board to play himself, much to David’s delight.
As a fan of both the Red Sox and Curb Your Enthusiasm, I, for one, can’t wait to see this. Granted, in 1986 I cared more about My Little Pony than Bill Buckner, so perhaps the laughs will come easier for me (and for the rest of you, it’s time to get over it).
