For the first time in 14 years, the greatest rivalry in sports will display the year's final battle in the postseason.
After Wednesday night's American League Wild Card game, it is certain that the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox will meet at least three more times.
The Red Sox finished ahead of the Yankees by eight games, though the Bombers finished with 100 wins, and would lead any other division except for the National League West. The season series was as even as it could have been, with the Red Sox taking 10 games, and the Yankees taking nine.
