Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about
Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees, Baseball
You can probably say this is the rivalry Babe Ruth built. In 1919, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to the Yankees. Well, we all remember what Ruth did after that, and Red Sox fans did not hear the end of that for a long time, dubbing it “The Curse of the Bambino.”
No question, many great players participated in this rivalry, which featured many memorable games. For years, the Yankees were the ones winning one title after another while the Red Sox were praying next year would be the time they would shine.
That finally came in 2004 when the Red Sox won their first championship in 86 years. In many ways, Boston’s title has made its rivalry against New York even more intense. Not only is this still a great rivalry, but their games have additional meaning, often with postseason implications on the line.
I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
