Renewing the Rivalry 

It is safe to say that the Red Sox and Yankees have had some pretty interesting moments in the past years.  “The Curse”, Pedro vs. Zimmer, Tek vs. A-Rod, and the unforgettable 2004 ALCS. These are all moments all Red Sox fans will never forget.

These are the moments that have helped shape one of the best rivalries in sports. It has been an exciting rivalry that has interested people all over the baseball world.  Both teams are performing very well this season.  The Red Sox are in 1st place in the division with the Yankees not far behind in 2nd place.

With the chance to add more to the rivalry this season, tonight can be a start to it. It can revitalize the rivalry that fans want it to be. There’s also a very good chance that these two teams will meet up in the playoffs this year.  That can really spark the rivalry.
