This review is from: Mlb: 1978 Al East Playoff [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The condensed version of the famous "Bucky Dent" game is a terrific addition to any collection of historic baseball. Even apart from the storied home run over the Green Monster, the rest of the game itself stands up well to repeated viewings.

This October 1978 game has lots of great features to appeal to Yankees fans. The play-by-play is led by Phil Rizzuto, long before his on-air descent into senility and cannoli reviews. The starting New York pitcher is Ron Guidry, in what will be his 25th win of the season. You also get Mickey Rivers and Reggie Jackson in their primes and in the spotlight, where they functioned best, and a big hit by Thurman Munson, playing in the final October of his too-short life.

The innings selected for rebroadcast are exciting and contain most of the game's scoring, and exciting final innings. The Red Sox made the game a real contest, even after Dent's heroics. By the time Lou Piniella fights the late-afternoon, 9th inning, ferocious Fenway Park sun , you'll be ready to rewind and start again from the beginning.
