George Steinbrenner flipped off Red Sox bus after 2003 ALCS

Divisional rivals in MLB often act a lot like siblings who cannot stop beating up on one another.

Such has long been the case between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox—two of the most storied franchises in the big leagues with a long history of mutual hatred.

On this note, we bring to your attention a humorous history lesson.

Speaking on the “Dan Patrick Show” Tuesday, former Red Sox first baseman Kevin Millar conveyed a memory that speaks to former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner’s childish side. After Aaron Boone had hit his home run to win Game 7 in the 2003 ALCS, Steinbrenner reportedly flipped the Red Sox a double bird as they left Yankees Stadium in the team bus.
