The Boston Massacre 1978: Yankees swept Red Sox

Tuesday, September 10, 2019 1:27

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

In July 1978, Boston had a 14-game lead over New York.

In August, the Yankees started to win and the Red Sox started to lose. To be fair, Boston was hit with a ton of injuries.

In early September, the Yankees came into Boston 4 games back. They left Boston tied for first. New York swept a 4 game series outscoring Boston, 67-21.

It was brutal for the home fans who could not believe what they were watching:

The Yankees won all four games by an average margin of over eight runs.
In the four games, Lou Piniella was 10-for-16 with five RBIs, White was 8-for-15, Randolph 8-for-16 with six RBIs, Munson 8-for-16 with three RBIs, and Rivers 5-for-13. A Yankees shortstop named Bucky Dent was 7-for-18 with seven RBIs. (MLB)

To their credit, Boston won the last 9 and forced a dramatic one game playoff in Fenway. The Yankees won it on Bucky Dent’s HR.
