BIO: Samuel Joseph Dente (Blackie) was born in Harrison, NJ and died in 2002 in Montclair, NJ. He played major league baseball from 1947 to 1955 as infielder for the Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Browns, Washington Senators, Chicago White Sox, and the Cleveland Indians, and appeared in the 1954 World Series. Dente was sent by the Red Sox to the Washington Senators in the same transaction that brought Ellis Kinder to Boston. After that, the slogan "We'll win plenty with Dente" circulated through the stands at Griffith Stadium early in the 1950 season when the club led the American League, but a short time after that the rhyme became more popular than the player.
