The heated rivalry between these two American League East Division foes now dates back more than a centrury.  Once
one-sided, the rise of the Red Sox franchise has added more fuel to the fire that burns inside this rivalry that echoes
throughout all of Major League Baseball

Key Moments and Events in the Yankees - Red Sox Rivalry
  • The Curse Begins!: On January 7, 1920 the news announcing that Boston's Babe Ruth has been sold to
    the New York Yankees.  The curse of the Bambino lasted until 2004 when Boston finally won its first World
    Series since 1918 when they still had the Babe in uniform.  Prior to letting Ruth slip away to the Yankees,
    Boston had won four World Series championships in six years.  
  • Ruth's House Opens: Former Red Sox star Babe Ruth hits a HR in the Bombers 4-2 win over Boston in
    the first game played in Yankee Stadium. The game was played on April 18, 1923.  Ruth's blast was the
    stadium's first home run.
  • Bucky "Bleeping" Dent: Boston's collapse down the home-stretch of the 1978 season was culminated
    when the Yankees caught them in the standings at the end of the regular season.  The one-game playoff
    was played in Fenway Park and the game's decisive blow was dealt in the 7th inning with a heart-piercing
    3 run blast hit by the weak hitting Bucky Dent.  
  • Down goes Zimmer:  In an already crazy 2003 ALCS a Yanks-BoSox brawl doesn't conclude before Boston
    pitcher Pedro Martinez is charged by 72-year old Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer.  Martinez was later
    ridiculed after throwing the senior citi
  • Aaron Boone's HR defeats Boston in 2003 ALCS: Bringing back BoSox fans horrid memories of Bucky
    Dent's smash, New York's Aaron Boone hits a game 7, ALCS-winning HR off of Tim Wakefield in the 11th
    inning.
  • Sox stage epic ALCS comeback: After being down 0-3 in the 2004 ALCS the BoSox launch an incredible
    comback and win four straight games to capture the series.  Game 6 of the ALCS featured an injured Curt
    Schilling pitching the "Bloody Sock" game in which he shut down the Yanks. The Red Sox continued their
    momentum to capture their first World Series since 1918.
  • An attempt to curse "New" Yankee Stadium.  With hopes of putting a Red Sox curse on the Yankee's
    new stadium, a Boston loving construction worker places a David Ortiz jersey in the stadium's foundation.  
    Somehow the plot itself was cursed when NYY authorities were alerted and action was quickly taken to dig
    the jersey up.
