The Yankees are pulling out all the stops for their do-or-die ALDS Game 4 against the Red Sox Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
New York enlisted former shortstop Bucky Dent to throw out the first pitch, after a colossal 16-1 defeat in Game 3 Monday night gave Boston the 2-1 edge in a best-of-five series. Dent, who won two World Series during his five and a half seasons in New York, is sure to stir up nightmarish memories for Sox fans who remember the tribulations of the late 70’s.
The 66-year-old is probably most well-known for his three-run, seventh-inning home run in the 1978 AL East tiebreaker game against the Red Sox.
