MLB playoffs 2018: Yankees lose ALDS to Red Sox because of the curse of Bucky 'bleeping' Dent?

If there's one person who defines the modern-day Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, it's Bucky Dent.

Last week was the 40th anniversary of the light-hitting shortstop's famed home run in the 163rd game of the 1978 season, helping the Yankees complete their comeback from 14 games back to beat the Red Sox and win the AL East Division Title.

Hoping for more October magic, the Yankees called on Dent Tuesday to throw out the first pitch before Game 4 of the American League Division Series.

Game 4's pregame ceremonies included:
- National Anthem by Broadway veteran Michael Minarik.
