When the World Series shifts from Los Angeles to New York for Game 3 on Monday, Bucky Dent will be in the Bronx.

The former Yankees shortstop is as excited about attending a World Series home game at Yankee Stadium as any New Yorker. Plans were confirmed Wednesday that the former New York heartthrob will be traveling to New York City to root for the boys in pinstripes.
