Rene’s Take

I am sure over the course of the baseball season there will be several Sox vs Yankees posts. Some will be because I am a happy Red Sox Fan and others will be from an unhappy Sox fan.

I know there are some tremendous rivalries in all sports. In the NBA the Lakers and Celtics, Magic against Bird. In the NHL Toronto and Montreal or the Bruins and the Canadiens. The original teams when they take the ice. Duke and North Carolina in College hoops. I spent some time in North Carolina the last couple of years and fans of the two schools are rabid their favorite team.

But in my eyes the Red Sox Yankees rivalry is the best one. From the Sox selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees back in 1919, so the owner of the Red Sox could finance his Broadway play “No No Nanette”,  to the bench clearing brawls,the owners trying to outdo each other in the Free agent market. On the field some unbelievable games. From Bucky “Bleepin” Dent’s home run in the playoff game  to Aaron “Bleepin” Boones walkoff homer to eliminate the Sox in 2003 to the Sox doing something that had never been done before coming back from a 3-0 deficit against the Mighty Yankees including winning the series on enemy turf in 2004.  I remember listening to games on the radio withmy grandfather who couldnt stand the Yankees. Whenever the Sox beat the Yankees there was always that special smile on his face.

Over the course of the season Sox fans will be having that special smile at times and at other times Yankee fans will be repaying the favor with the “grin” that says how many World Series Championships have you won? It’s a great time of the year!! Whether you are diehard Yankee fan or a Sox fan. it doens’t get better then this. Oh by the way LET’S GO SOX
