Bucky Dent & Mike Torrez Signed "Game #163" Jersey "1 Game Playoff" & "10-2-78"

Custom on-field style jersey. Everything is sewn on, size XL. Hand-signed and inscribed by Bucky Dent (New York Yankees) and Mike Torrez (Boston Red Sox).

In 1978, Dent is widely remembered for hitting a three-run home run that gave the Yankees a 3–2 lead in the AL East division tie-breaker game against the Boston Red Sox. This was all the more remarkable because Dent was not a power hitter; his seventh-inning home run was one of only 40 he hit in his entire 12-year career. Further, Dent occupied the ninth spot in the batting order, not generally considered a power slot, and did it with a bat borrowed from center fielder Mickey Rivers. The Yankees went on to win the game 5–4 for the division title; Boston was left out of the playoffs, after squandering one of the largest July leads in major league history. 

Generations of Red Sox fans have since referred to him as "Bucky F**king Dent". 

The autographs includes an official Dave & Adam's hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
