The New York Yankees vs. the Boston Red Sox is not just the greatest rivalry in all of baseball, but perhaps in all of sports. Even people that don’t follow baseball are aware of the feud and know of its significance in the sport.
In 2019, Major League Baseball will attempt to use this history to promote baseball in Europe when the Yankees and Red Sox square off on June 29 and 30 in London Stadium. It was also announced that Boston will be the home team for both of the games.
This idea should be seen as a stroke of genius for MLB and will not only help the sport grow, but ultimately benefit the Yankees.
