For New York Yankees fans, the 1978 pennant race is a thing of beauty. Not only did the Yanks battle back from a 14-game deficit, but they crushed the dreams of the Boston Red Sox on game 163 of the season.
It’s a sweet thing. A sweet, sweet thing.
Which is exactly why you’re going to want to check out Sports Illustrated’s new film, “14 Back.” It will transport you back to 1978 – through all the turmoil, all the wins, and the swing of one Bucky Dent.
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.
