Boone on Yankees-Red Sox rivalry

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Aaron Boone was a part of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry when it was as good as it ever was, and ever will be again.

Oh, sure, Boone was there in 2003 to hit one of the most famous October home runs in all of Yankees history -- against the Red Sox, bottom of the 11th, Game 7, American League Championship Series, at the old Yankee Stadium, off Tim Wakefield. One of the great October nights the old place had ever seen, and it had seen plenty.
