It’s been nearly a month since the Yankees and Red Sox reignited their storied rivalry with a thrilling benches-clearing brawl on a frigid April night at Fenway Park. The entire melee was chronicled — tempers flared, suckerpunches were thrown, and suspensions were issued. The bad blood between the teams boiled once again, and there was a refreshing October energy to the series in Boston.
So, considering the theatrics, how could the Yankees and Red Sox possibly top the excitement generated last month — especially when the regular season is still relatively young?
Well, it shouldn’t be too difficult, since the clubs will soon meet at Yankee Stadium with the two best records in baseball.
