Bucky Fucking Dent

40 home runs in 12 seasons.

The Red Sox were up 14 in July, 1978. The Yankees won the pennant and the Series.

Of course, the Yankees still own the biggest choke in baseball history.

Let us go back to the 2004 ALCS. The Yankees lead the ALCS 3-0. The Wild Card Red Sox win the next 8 games (including ALCS Games 6 and 7 in Yankee Stadium, and Fall Classic Games 3 and 4 in St. Louis), erase the Curse of theBambino, and win their first World Series title in 86 years.

Oh, and my two favourite sounds:

First, the sound of silence in Busch Stadium when Johnny Damon hit a lead-off home run to start Game 4.

Second, the sound of Mariano Rivera choking. Soft, gurgling coughs. And the Sox win! The Sox win!
