Yankees defeat Dodgers 7-2
New York remains World Champion
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — It was a most
improbable finish to a most incredi
ble season for the Yankees, who ral
lied from 14 games behind in July to
win the American League East in a
playoff, beat the Kansas City Royals
for the third straight year for the
pennant, then, after losing the first
two games of the World Series to
the Los Angeles Dodgers, came
back to sweep the next four games
for their second straight world
championship.
And who could have ever guessed
that in the sixth and final game
Tuesday night, it would be Bucky
Dent and Brian Doyle, a couple of
pint-sized slap-hitting infielders,
who ultimately would do the Dod
gers in?
Of course, “Mr. October” Reggie
Jackson accounted for part of the
Yankees’ 7-2 clincher with a home
run and “Catfish” Hunter turned in
a vintage pitching performance to
emerge the winner — even though
he appeared to be one step away
from baseball’s scrap pile in July.
Bucky Dent, a .243 hitter who led
the lineup in removals for a pinch
hitter, ran away with the World Se
ries Most Valuable Player Award.
“Winning the MVP is obviously
my biggest thrill,” said Dent, who
had three straight singles and drove
in three runs to finish the Series
with a .416 average and seven RBI.
“I think batting ninth in the order
helped a little because pitchers
often let up a little when they come
to me.”
In this case it was Dodger loser
Don Sutton who “let up” a little
when he came to Dent. For that
matter, Sutton took Doyle a little
too lightly as well.
Doyle, who only got a chance to
play in this World Series because of
an injury to regular Yankee second
baseman Willie Randolph, wound
up hitting .437 for the Series includ
ing three hits and two RBI in the
finale.
“I haven’t grasped it just yet and
it’ll probably be a couple of days be
fore I do,” he said.
Doyle’s and Dent’s first turn
came in the second inning when
after a single by Nettles and a walk
to Jim Spencer, Doyle doubled into
the leftfield corner to tie the score
1-1. Dent followed with a single up
the middle to make it 3-1.
The Yankees’ “Dynamic Duo
struck again in the sixth after Lou
Piniella singled and took second
when Sutton was charged with a
wild pitch in striking out Spencer.
Doyle singled to center and took
second on Rick Monday’s throw to
the plate, which was hobbled by Joe
