In 1973, Dent broke with the Chicago White Sox. He hit .260 over 4 seasons as Chicago's shortstop.
From 1977 to '82, he was with the Yankees and that's where he hit one of the most famous HR's in New York-Boston history. It happened in the 1-game 1978 playoff to determine the AL East champion.
Overall, he played 12 seasons and hit .247. However, it was that swing at Fenway Park that made him a big hero for the Yankees and forever hated in Boston.
Bucky Dent was a part of the 1978 New York Yankees, one of the most amazing championship teams ever.
