The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry just hasn't been the same over the past decade. However, with both teams looking like legitimate contenders, the rivalry should be revived this season and beyond.
The best rivalry in all of sports hasn't been as intense these past several seasons. Ever since the Red Sox infamously sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1919, their rivalry has been the most storied and intense in sports. There's the "Curse of the Bambino," Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, the "Boston Massacre," the Bucky Dent game, the Aaron Boone game, the 2004 ALCS (puke), and countless brawls ranging from the '70s fights, to Pedro Martinez throwing Don Zimmer to the ground.
