New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox rivalry
Any sport is incomplete without rivalries and the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox is one of the fiercest in all of professional sports.
It all started with the "Curse of the Bambino" in the 1920s, when Babe Ruth, a future Hall of Famer, was traded from the Red Sox to the Yankees for less than $1 million.
The Yankees went on to have a run of championships and pennants as a result, whereas the Red Sox went on to have one of the worst runs in baseball history, going 86 years between 1918 and 2004 without winning a World Series championship.
In the 2,320 games played between 1901 and 2022 between the Yankees and Red Sox, New York prevailed 1,257–1,049 (with 14 ties) against Boston's 1,049–1.
Additionally, they split their 24 postseason meetings 12-12. The Yankees' 22-1 triumph in 2000 was their most lopsided victory; the Red Sox's 17-game winning streak between 1911 and 1912 holds the record for the longest winning streak.
