  • Summary

  • The Yankees Red Sox rivalry is said to be arguably the fearcest rivalry in all of American sports. It is a major-league baseball rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Both teams have completed in MLB's American League for over 120 seasons.
    Let's take a look at the Post Season history 1999 American League Championship Series: Yankees won, 4 to 1. 2003 Yankees won 4 to 3. So the Yankees won twice in 1999 and in 2003 while the Red Sox won in 2004 4 to 3.

    The two teams have also met once in the AL division series. In 2018 Red Sox won 3 to 1 and 2021 Red Sox won.

    There have been occasions of arrests due to violence over the rivalry. In May 2008, a Yankees fan in Nashua, New Hampshire, was arrested and charged with reckless second-degree murder outside a bar, which resulted from an argument over the rivalry. Later in 2008, a man driving a car with New York license plates in Massachusetts was pulled from his car and savagely beaten because locals suspected the man of being a Yankees fan. During the final series of the 2010 season, Boston Police arrested a Yankees fan for stabbing a Red Sox fan over an argument about the rivalry.

    A lot of fan violence can happen in sports. The teams will sometimes get in fights. Sports can get crazy sometimes. Competition can get out of hand and become too much.
