Yankees Lineup, September 30 1978

I think this was in the game day program you got at the park. My brother in law is a big deal and likes the Yankees a lot so maybe it's something he got for us, but anyway here's a real piece of ephemera- a typed sheet with the Yankees and Cleveland Indians line-ups. This was the epic stretch where the Red Sox choked and then battled back to force a one game playoff against the Yankees which was decided by a home run by Bucky F. Dent.

For the record, I stayed home from school to watch that playoff game. My older brother got home just as the game was getting to the later innings, right before Dent came up. He literally said "Bucky's gonna crank one." Not sure if I was more mad or amazed, and the rest is history.


The names on this are amazing- Mickey Rivers, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson, Craig Nettles, Roy White, Chris Chambliss.
