Bucky Dent, Jeff Nelson & Joe Benigno Talk Yankees, Red Sox, October Pressure & New York Sports

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry takes center stage as Sid is joined by Yankees legend Bucky Dent, former World Series champion Jeff Nelson, and WFAN legend Joe Benigno. Dent looks back on his iconic 1978 home run against Boston, his World Series MVP season, joining the Yankees, and what it means to be part of Yankee history.

Jeff Nelson breaks down the current Yankees, their pitching staff, Aaron Boone, the pressure of October baseball, and what separates the great postseason players from everyone else. The conversation also revisits the legendary late-1990s Yankees teams, Derek Jeter, Joe Torre, Mariano Rivera and the dominant Yankee bullpens.

Joe Benigno weighs in on the Yankees-Red Sox postseason matchup, the Giants following the injury to Jackson Dart, the Jets, the Knicks, the Mets and more. He also reflects on his 73rd birthday and shares a memorable story about seeing the Grateful Dead in 1974
