On October 2, 1978, Bucky Dent's 3-run home run lifted the Yankees to win the AL East division tie-breaker game vs. the Red Sox after trailing by 14 games. And tonight 43 years and three days later, the Yankees and the Red Sox are back at Fenway Park in another do or die game. Tonight it is in the American League Wildcard game where the winner moves on to the Division Series and the loser goes home. Will history repeat?
Will the 2021 Yankee cutie Tyler Wade hit the big home run?
Nobody knows but it will be an exciting scene tonight in Boston in historic Fenway Park. Games like tonight’s are why I love baseball and rooting on my team.

I remember that Bucky Dent three run homer. I was listening to the radio to the Red Sox announcers who called it as a pop up that clicked the screen on its downward flight just as the Red Sox leftfielder was about to make an easy catch. In contrast my Yankee fan brother was listening to Yankee announcer Phil Rozzuto who called it as a long titanic blast clearly a home run from the get go. Funny how opposing team announcers see opposite things on the same fly ball!

Cole is a great pitcher, but he seems to be less consistent with the Yanks than he was with the Astros. Hard to believe that the Yankees swept a three game series in Fenway the weekend before last, but then turned around and lost the one game wild card game in Fenway tonight. That's baseball. Their regular season record was great, but they seemed to be streaky, being unbeatable for a few weeks and then losing for a few weeks, which is dangerous going into a one game winner takes all wild card game, as which Yankee team will you get? The Mets were worse being in first place for over a hundred days until August 1st and then finishing with a losing record. Still the Yankees made the playoffs, so they should be congratulated on a successful season.

I think that Leo Durocher first said that! In 1969, Leo managed the first place Cubs until they came to Shea Stadium for a show down series against the Mets. Just before the first pitch, a black cat mysteriously appeared and walked in front of the Cubs dugout and their manager Leo. No one knows where that black cat came from, but we do know that the Mets won that game, that series and went on to win the World Series.
