Bucky (expletive) Dent. For years, Red Sox fans were cursed with the memories of Dent’s home run in Fenway Park during game 163 of the 1978 season. The Yankees had come back from a 14-game deficit to win the American League East.
The hurtful memories were masked by the 2004 team that came back from three games down in the American League Championship Series – but it’s worth diving back into the 1978 pennant race with Sports Illustrated’s new documentary, “14 Back.”
The new 90-minute film, which is produced by 11-time Emmy winner Jonathan Hock, takes us back to 1978 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the craziest pennant race in MLB history.
