DENT WILL ATTEND GAME AND ANSWER BASEBALL QUESTIONS BEING HURLED AT kgb 542542 TEXT ANSWER SERVICE
NEW YORK – Oct. 6, 2009 – Former Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent, who hit the clutch three-run homer that helped win a one-game playoff against Boston in 1978, is stepping up to the plate to become a kgb “Special Agent for the day” when he attends Game 1 of the American League Division Series between the Yankees and the Tigers or Twins. Dent will answer baseball questions being asked of kgb 542542 text answer service.
“It should be lots of fun to talk baseball and answer questions as a kgb Special Agent during the first game of the playoffs,” said Dent. “I’m looking forward to a fantastic game and I expect we’ll get lots of great questions. I’ll even take questions from Red Sox fans.”
Working alongside Dent through the experience as a kgb Special Agent will be one of the service’s regular Special Agents, Steve Bass, who has been answering questions for kgb’s 542542 text answer service since May. Bass, a native New Yorker and life-long Yankee fan who grew up in the Bronx, will attend the game with Dent and relay game-related questions that come into the service.
“The opportunity to attend Game One of the ALDS with Bucky Dent is just unbelievable,” said Bass. “I have always been a Yankees fan but this will by my first opportunity to see the new stadium. I feel like I’ve grown up with Bucky, and the opportunity to discuss the game with him while we’re watching the Yankees in the playoffs will be amazing.”
