In this day and age in baseball in which there’s a lot of schmoozing and friendships between opposition players, we’re pretty certain that the Yankees do not – repeat, do not - hate the Red Sox.
And we’re pretty certain that the Red Sox don’t hate the Yankees.
We don’t even think these age-old rivals dislike one another.
They used to back in the day, but not anymore.
Based on conversations we’ve had with players from both teams in recent years, on and off the record, we believe what the Yankees and Red Sox feel for one another more than anything is mutual respect as a fellow American League East superpower.
