After staying relatively insipid for almost the past decade, the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry is finally back. But not only are the top two teams in the AL East going at it on the diamond, they’re also taking shots at each other on social media.
Things got started back in June on Global Running Day. To celebrate, Boston shared a video of pinch-runner Dave Roberts’ stealing a critical base in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Yankees in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS. Roberts’ speedy base running arguably saved the Sox from getting swept and sparked their historic World Series run.
