"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."
Here's how kgb works: if you have a baseball-related question (or any question for that matter), send it via text message to 542542 (kgbkgb), the number for the kgb's text answer service, where a specially-trained kgb Special Agent is waiting to provide a quick, accurate answer.
"We are launching our 'Agent for the Day' program because we're committed to delivering unique and uniquely useful answers to everyone who texts us at 542542," said Bruce Stewart, CEO of Mobile and Digital at kgb. "With Bucky Dent as our kgb Special Agent answering many of the baseball questions we get during the first game of the ALDS, we are assured to have the best content anywhere when it comes to playoff baseball."
In January kgb launched its flagship text answer service, 542542 (kgbkgb) following the success of kgb's similar "Ask Us Anything" premium text answer service in the United Kingdom.
