With Division On The Line, Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry Heats Up Once Again

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry has lost a little bit of its intensity over the past couple of years. But now that they are battling for the division lead again, it’s starting to heat up.

This year’s version of the rivalry isn’t filled with animosity, but more of a renewal of pleasantries.

CBS2’s Steve Overmyer asked one Yankees fan who was spotted outside Yankee Stadium on Friday with some friends who were pulling for the Red Sox how their relationship works.
