    Reggie's Revenge vs Bob Welch, 2 R HR in the 7th. The Catfish and Goose Show.

    Dent- 78 W.S. MVP

    Yanx were 14 GB Boston in mid-July.

    The Boston Massacre began on Sept. 7th, with a 42 to 9, 4 game rout. At the end of the 4 game series, NY and Boston were tied for 1st in the AL East, with 20 games remaining.

    With a one-game playoff on Oct. 2nd; Dent hit the 3 run HR that lives in infamy/history, defeating any hopes for Boston to see another W.S.

    Billy Martin was fired as a result of the dugout fight, and ultimately paid a dear price for the skirmish on National TV.

    Guidry won 25 games in 78.

    That was a great team with further greatness derailed by Munson's tragic death.
