43 Years Later: Yankees/Red Sox
What a long, strange season it’s been.
Someone asked me yesterday if I thought the Yankees would win.
Much like in 1978, I have no idea.
Back then the Yankees were throwing the eventual Cy Young, Ron Guidry against a former Yankee, Mike Torrez.
Today the Yankees may be throwing this year’s Cy Young, Gerrit Cole against a former Yankee, Nate Eovaldi.
The ‘78 team had Reggie and Munson.
This team has Judge and Stanton.
Reggie came up big, but Bucky Dent got a new middle name by hitting a 3-run homer.
I think the Yankees will win, but I always think that.
I’m an optimistic fan, but this team can score 10 or get just 2 hits.
I have no idea why!
Cole was brought in to pitch these big games. Pitching hasn’t been the problem all year.
Will there be a Bucky F****ng Dent in this game?
Maybe.
If there is, I have a prediction:
Rougned Odor.
I think he hits a big home run and the Yankees survive and advance:
Yankees 6 Red Sox 4
Book it!
1978 all over again.
