Dent is widely remembered for hitting a three-run homer that gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the 1978 AL East division playoff game against the Boston Red Sox. It was notable because he was not known as a power hitter, having hit just 40 home runs in 12 years in the major leagues, and occupying the ninth spot in the batting order. The Yankees went on to win the game 5-4, securing the division title in the process. Dent batted .417 in the 1978 World Series, earning Series Most Valuable Player honors as the Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, four games to two.
Bucky Dent has hand signed this MLB Baseball with his full name, “Russell Earl Dent - Bucky”, and added the following inscriptions: “WS MVP 78, 3x All Star, 40 HR, 423 RBI, WS Champs 77-78”.
