  The Greatest Game in Boston
Thanks to the folks at Boston magazine, who give The Greatest Game (out March 18) a nice write-up in their new issue.

The '78 Playoff Revisited. Again.

By John Wolfson


Richard Bradley is a Yankees fan—but don't hold that against him. His new book, The Greatest Game: The Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Playoff of '78, is a sensitive examination, and includes a rare interview with Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski. Bradley argues that Bucky Dent's infamous pop-fly homer unfairly tarnished a brilliant Sox team, noting of Yaz, “There really is such a sadness in him about that season.”

I remember watching this game on WPIX ("11 Alive")when I was about 5 & 1/2 years old, young enough not to know what the 'infield-fly' rule was, but old enough to remember my heroes: Graig Nettles, Bucky Dent, Ron Guidry, and Thurman Munson...

I'll have to check this book out.
