Big Chicken Omen
On this day in 1978- Name the light hitting backup shortstop who smacked a grand-slam off Mike Torrez that would key a Yankee victory over the rival Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Answer: Fred "Chicken" Stanley hit his only home run of the year in 160 at-bats in that 1978 game. Bucky Dent would have only 4 home runs in 1978 before making history against Torrez in the one-game playoff later in the year.
