Why I Love Baseball History

[barking_iguana]

In a post at the baseball-reference blog about teams that won a lot of games at home, the 1978 Red Sox were listed with 59 wins and this side conversation developed:

Larry R.: Too bad Boston in '78 couldn't have been 60. Effin' Bucky Dent!

Panrell: Get it right- it's Bucky Effin Dent.

David Huemer: It's Effin' Bucky effin' Dent in some households.

John Autin: No Yankee fan here, but ... If you have an outfield fence that turns pop flies into home runs, sooner or later someone is going to break your heart by hitting a pop fly that turns into a home run.

Effin’ Fenway Effin’ Park. That’s what Yankees fans would be muttering if they’d been stuck with a Little League park that lost them the pennant to a weakling shortstop. :)
