About The “Deep To Left
With Bucky Dent” Podcast
“I’m honored to be joining
the Yankees Magazine Podcast
Network. I take great
pride in my place in Yankees
history, and in the relationships
that I made along the
way, both before and after October
2, 1978. I can’t wait to
share stories and memories
with all of the podcast’s listeners.”
— Bucky Dent
“It’s hard to think of anyone
in baseball more associated
with one incredible moment
than Bucky Dent, but as
I’ve gotten to know him over
the years, I have learned that
he’s so much more than a single
October home run. I can’t
wait for fans to get to hear
the stories he has to tell, and
for them to get to know this
real Yankees great. We’re so
happy that he is choosing to
work with us as we expand
our podcast network.” — Alfred
Santasiere III, Senior Director
of Publications, New
York Yankees
“On behalf of the Yankees,
I’m thrilled to be welcoming
Bucky Dent to the Yankees
Magazine Podcast Network.
This is an exciting fi rst expansion
of our podcast offerings,
and I’m excited for all
that the future holds for us
in this space. I will never forget
where I was when Bucky
hit that home run, and I look
forward to continuing to relive
that historic moment
through his work on the podcast.
I know that our fans are
going to love the chance to
spend time with Bucky over
the course of this season and
beyond.” — Lonn Trost, Chief
Operating Offi cer, New York
