In this episode Mad Dog is digging up the story of one of the greatest baseball teams to never win the world series, the 1978 Boston Red Sox. Led by the likes of Jim Rice, Carlton Fisk, Carl Yastrzemski and Jerry Remy, the '78 Red Sox were primed to end the organization's championship drought. A rollarcoaster season would find them facing off against their bitter rivals, the New York Yankees, in a winner-take-all game for the division title and a spot in the playoffs. The results of this showdown in Game 163 would reverberate for decades. Jerry Remy was the starting second baseman for Boston and joins Mad Dog for more insight on the season (25:30)
