BOSTON -- Bean balls, brawls and back-on-track at-bats defined the latest three-game act in the storied rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.
In other words, just like old times.
What we’ve learned after the latest installment of Red Sox-Yankees is that the rivalry appears to be on the cusp of a renaissance. Much of the fervor, emotion, energy and big-name star power we saw 15 years ago is back.
We won’t know for sure how much the rivalry's been reignited until these two clubs meet in the postseason.
