Description: Bucky Dent Signed Baseball AHS Yankees Mike Torrez Auto 10-2-78 Inscription JSA Steiner Rawlings OML Allan H. “Bud” Selig baseball signed by Mike Torrez (sweet spot in blue ballpoint with a “10-2-78” inscription) & Bucky Dent (north panel in blue ballpoint). Comes with certification from JSA, as well as a hologram from Steiner Sports. alltimenicestuff In 1978, Bucky Dent is widely remembered for hitting a three-run home run off former teammate Mike Torrez that gave the Yankees a 3–2 lead in the AL East division tie-breaker game against the Boston Red Sox. This was all the more remarkable because Dent was not a power hitter; his seventh-inning home run was one of only 40 he hit in his entire 12-year career. Further, Dent occupied the ninth spot in the batting order, not generally considered a power slot, and did it with a bat borrowed from center fielder Mickey Rivers. The Yankees went on to win the game 5–4 for the division title; Boston was left out of the playoffs, after squandering one of the largest July leads in major league history. Generations of Red Sox fans have since referred to him as "Bucky F**king Dent".
