The Bronx is Burning - 1977 Yankees

[lilbman07]

This will be a great dynasty I promise.

I will use some of the things that actually happened during the year 1977 but after that it will be up to mogul or my mind

Wow, I think that's REAL low for Sparky. This is the year he won the Cy Young!

I just finished reading "The Bronx Zoo" by Lyle, which covers the 1978 season. This should be fun. Good luck!

Any idea whether Bucky F-----g Dent will hit any homers?
