When The Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry Peaked
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry goes back to 1919 when Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees for $100,000. For the rest of the century, the Yankees were the best franchise in baseball while the Red Sox were a team of misfortunes plagued by the curse of the bambino. From the 1946 World Series to 1967 to Bucky Dent to Bill Buckner to the 1999 ALCS, the Yankees always found a way and the Red Sox didn't. But things changed after 2003 when Aaron Boone sent the Yankees to the World Series with a walk-off home run. The Red Sox would come back from a 3-0 deficit over the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS and would go on to win the World Series to break their curse. With the fights, hatred, and level of play, 2003-2004 was the absolute peak of the rivalry.

My grandmother lived Middleboro, Massachusetts. She born in 1910, so she was 7 or 8 when they last won the Series. She was 93 when all of this happened, I called her house the next afternoon. All she said was, "I can die now!" She passed away 2 months later. No bullshit
My great gma was born in 1920 and went her whole 84 years before she got to see them win, she died two years ago at 102 and was blessed to be able to see them win it 3 more times
My gg was born 1914 and was scared she would die after 04 but made it 4 more to see #2 and passed in 2009
Godbless these Red Sox women ❤
@@emceesleftovers2870 that generation of Sox fans are strong as hell, I feel spoiled that in my 30 years of life I have been blessed to see them do it 4 times out of
LOL
Given the current state of Boston sports it’s just insane to me to think that my grandfather was born and then died before he could see the Sox win a World Series
I was a big Red Sox fan since 1995. That was the year Mo Vaughn won the MVP and the Sox lost against the Indians in 3 games in the ALDS. But from then, I was hooked. This is the best rivalry in baseball, if not all of sports. Those two years in 2003-2004 were peak as you said. I totally agree that Aaron Boone probably wouldn't be the Yankees manager if not for that HR in 2003.
‘95 was the year I became a real Sox fan. My fav player was Tim Nehring lol. Big Mo was a beast, though. He hit a grand slam the first time I ever went to a game at Fenway.
I absolutely can’t stand the Sox but man oh man I loved Big Mo!
I've been a Red Sox fan since I was 5. In 1994 I moved to the Seattle area and in 1995 the Mariners had a magical season that I got completely engulfed in. When Boston came to town I was so excited to see the Sox play. I stood outside the Kingdome to get MO's autograph. When they came out to get in their bus they were in a single file line and I saw Mo. I had my Red Sox baseball and asked him to sign my ball. He shook his head no and I was bumbed out bad. Down the line I saw Jose' Conseco and he gladly signed my ball. I thought that was cool, but I wanted Mo Vaughn's. It was bittersweet but I still have that Conseco ball!
@@joelwatts5260 Can-stinko, as he was affectionately referred to by my ornery grandpa. He was decent overall for the two seasons he was here, but missed a lot of time on the DL. Haven’t thought about that in a long time, thanks for the sparking that memory😂
I like MO. I was at the Mets game when he hit the top of the score board. As a kid that completely blew my mind
20 years later and “don’t let us get one” still brings tears to my eyes.
-a forever grateful red Sox fan.
Always and forever going to be a Yankee. But now the Red Sox Rivalry feels more like a Gentlemen’s Agreement duel more than anything.
But we can all agree on one thing.
Fuck the Astros
Fuck dem Stros. A Red Sox dynasty would be preferable to the Series getting another ring.
Hopefully, the Asstros don't even make the playoffs this year!
If anything, the Yankees, Red Sox, and Astros should be supportive of each other. After all, they’re all cheaters! Include the Dodgers too. Gotta stay ahead of the smaller markets somehow
Astros did nothing wrong
As a Red Sox fan I agree
the "dave roberts came out of the dugout to take kershaw out of the game" joke had me laughing for way too long
Yeah I was really confused about this thanks for explaining
@parker-lonzy650 me too. I was momentarily wondering "did Kershaw start with the Red Sox?".
Nostalgia right here. I was fresh in HS with the Boston Massacre. That rivalry from 03-07 was PEAK Baseball
you were fresh in highschhool in 1770? fuck mate u old
Bill Mueller was always my favorite and insanely underrated. Silver slugger and AL batting champion in 03’ and only guy to ever hit two grand slams in a game, one from each side of the plate (also had a solo HR that game). Career 291 avg. Wore #11 as a kid because of him.
Agree that he was truly underrated. Not only overshadowed by superstars Ortiz and Ramirez, but B Mueller seemed to get less attention than clearly inferior players like K Millar and T Nixon. No sure why there wasn't more buzz for Mueller who was super productive.
These are the teams I grew up on, this was a nice walk down memory lane. Thank you!
I walked to Fenway the night the Sox won in '04 with a group of thousands of college students. It was contagious euphoria - pure sports ecstasy (until it got destructive lol)
Growing up in Westchester, NY, and New England at this time, given the greatness of these teams and their games, and all of the great players/coaches on both sides, I didn't realize it at the time, but this might actually be the peak of sports in my lifetime. This was a nice trip down memory lane.
Those seasons, between 1999-2007, has to be the greatest period of Baseball ever! Every game was it's own Magnum Opus! There was more drama, action and palpable tension than any other time since!
While he wasn’t on the championship team, I believe Nomar was given a ring when the Red Sox won in ‘04.
I'm almost 100 percent certain he got a "share" which means he got a ring.
He played like 100 games for that squad before being traded
He got a ring
Man from the steroid era to the end of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry was the very best time to watch baseball. Unfortunately there’s no rivalries like this anymore. Dodgers/Giants, Cubs/Cards, Yanks/Sox have all lost their edge. Yanks/Astros never had a true benches clearing heated moment during their “rivalry”. The only hope of another hot rivalry is Phils/Braves
I was a month old by the time they won in 2007, I was born at the hospital just a block away from Fenway. I’m often thanked and credited with the win from family 😂
Was in college in New England from 2003-2007, and this rivalry was a definitive part of that experience. Awesome video man it was great to reminisce.
Man I was 10 years old in 2004 and just started watching baseball as a yankee fan, watching my father as a die hard yankee fan it made me one. That red sox comeback had me crying for days, but seeing it now its incredible how they came back from being down 0-3
As a Yankee fan when I went to Fenway honestly it was such a fun experience it was more of a we hate you and we hate you too joke
It’s actually quite heartwarming
I feel the same way when I go to Yankee Stadium as a Sox fan. It’s fun to banter about how much we can’t stand each other with a wink and a nod.
@@deprosport7254 and the crazy thing is
Ted Williams and Jimmie Foxx are some of my favorite players ever and they were both Red Sox’s
@@JackCallSports tbh the only Yankees I can say that are unhateable are Matsui and Judge lol I’ll need to make an exception for my Dominican brother Soto though
@@deprosport7254 FACT 😂
And here’s something too I’ll say without hesitation
Not only was Williams better than DiMaggio
But a way WAY better person
@@JackCallSports man you might be the only honest Yankee fan alive 🤣
Rip tim Wakefield
Jimmie Foxx? He didn't play for Boston until 1936!
I was a young Yankees fan in 2004, and seldom have I felt pain like I felt after the ALCS that year. That planted the seed of a lifetime of beef towards the Red Sox lol. Definitely hated seeing them win the World Series that year and then three more by 2018 while we've only managed to get one in the last 15 years.
same lol had me crying as a 10 year old
Yea but we had like 5 or six since the 90s sooo
@chiapets2594 don't matter...since 04 it's 4 to 1... I know that has to hurt yall and it's glorious. Keep in mind my 8th grade year was Aaron f'n Boone and our redemption arc may have been quick but that would of went on to haunt me if not lol
Great video. I would have mentioned the construction worker from Boston who worked on the new Yankee Stadium and dropped a Red Sox jersey in the concrete. The Yankees spent tens of thousands of dollars on sonar equipment to find it, and another tens of thousands to dig it out and replace the dig.
I'm a Yankee fan, and if Varitek and ARod were fighting, I would still root for Varitek. Always liked him.
But that was such a punk move. You want to go at a guy, so be it. But removed your protective gear. Starting a fight while still wearing your catchers mask is weak.
Varitek was a jerk!
growing up in boston in the early 2000s really was something else, i still remember going to dozens of games with my mom, not completely understanding what i was witnessing at the time, but damn what an era, bring back hostility in baseball
This was such an amazing time to be a fan of either team. The dislike/hatred was palpable on both sides. I can't say anything about the 70s or 60s, but the 90s through 20004 were just incredible.
This rivalry defines my baseball fandom. The 04 Red Sox made me a fan for life.
Watch four days in October(Red Sox 04)
@@Trimusa “Why not us?” Of course I’ve seen that brother lol
Love the video! Just a heads up tho. Jimmie Foxx didn't play for the Red Sox until the 1930s. Small correction though.
My father, a big Red Sox fan, took me to games in the 1950's where we watched Ted Williams play out his career. He was born in 1918 and died in 2003.
Boston was made stronger by those curse years, tempered and hardened.
Man I was intrigued to learn about this rivalry. Wasn’t expecting to catch so many strays as a Minnesota fan lol
So judging by the ending, the Dodgers are going to spend the next 80 years terrorizing the Red Sox and the 2104 World Series will be the greatest World Series ever (and I mean so good that it will almost make 2016 look like a snoozefest by comparison).
As someone who was born in a Yankee household and loves the team, the late 90's and early 2000's is definitely peak modern Yankees/A's rivalry. It hasn't felt the same since I was a kid. I was 8 in 2004, so there was definitely sadness in our house the night the Red Sox won the World Series. I agree with the other commenters that it just feels like tradition now for the teams to face off against each other these days. Hopefully the Yankees can actually win a World Series sometime soon, since it'll have been 15 years since their last win this year. They haven't won since their first year in the new ballpark in 2009.
My freshman year of High-school was 04... 03 was a crushing loss only to have the magical 04 that changed the course of history for the city of Boston. Peak baseball in Boston for sure. Just ain't the same anymore.
Clicked cause the thumbnail is the origin of my PP I have had since I made this account - grew up with that rivalrly and still look fondly on it to this day. Boston wins, I cheer, Yankees lose, I cheer harder!
Kevin Millar started the whole “Don’t let us get one” thing. There’s an interview where he says it
It’s crazy how Boston is part of the 3 biggest rivalry’s in the big 4 North American sports, bruins vs canadiens, Celtics vs lakers, and the classic red Sox’s vs Yankees
2004 was the greatest baseball season of my life, and I'm a Mets fan. Pretty sad, I know.
😂 damn lol
Music on point! Great video
Love the video, always nice to look back at that 2004 Sox team, legendary. Buy, fyi, Bill Mueller's last name is pronounced without the 'u', so it sounds like Miller. Was kinda funny hearing Mew-ler a few times :)
aye bro great content! love it. just fyi tho there are multiple discrepancies between what you are saying and the scoresheets shown, etc. may want to double check the edits to ensure full cohesion but again, great watch 💪
Glad to have watched the peak in real time. Great time for Boston 😂
Man those were the days!
I never understood why they blamed Buckner...They had already blown the lead in the game, not to mention losing the next game as well. I was 7 at the time...I remember the chaos
Nice video thanks 👍
Good channel
Good video brother!
Vivaldi was peak. Well played.
Lots of Sports Guy references in the vid, nice.
The Astros has taken over the rivalry.
And I am a big Mets fan and I hate when the Yankees beat the Mets in 2000
As a Yankee fan Mets were so cocky but y’all end up choking in the 2015 World Series
After the 04’ season the Rivalry has been one sided… Boston 4 chips , Yankees 1
Boston only needs like 18 more chips to catch up 😅
It's wild to think there are people old enough to drive and vote who have zero recollection of any Yankees titles.
@@colinrankin1659Yeah, anything before the 90s doesn’t count. Plumbers and segregation titles aren’t valid.
Here’s a dishonorable mention the NY giants defeating the undefeated patriots in Super Bowl 42
In classic Red Sox fashion, they are great at the turn of the century but will inevitably suck for the next 80 years
Nice!
03 was CRUSHING. 04 was so amazing that it ruined baseball for me.
We had tickets to the first spring training game in 04 standing room people were offering 250 a ticket when we were walking up we didn't sell what a mistake nothing happened nobody important played and it was super hot.
Bucky Dent 😂👍🏼
Nice humour!
a lot of people dont know this but Babe Ruth was seen as a black man by most of the league. A lot of players were super racist to him. Like even though he was Babe Ruth. Theres a lot of pictures of him in a suit in the stands with no one around him and thats because of the racism of the time.
0:23 1903
1:43 Babe Ruth sold by Red Soxs to Yankees

If you think Boston v NYY rivalry is more hate-fuelled than any in the world, you should check out the Old Firm in Glasgow or the Belgrade Derby.
Good video, but if you'll allow one honest critique: It was hard for me to keep track of the years/eras during the first 10 minutes because you kinda just mention the year once in an otherwise extremely long sentence of explanation (which is fine as a style, but a few more graphics focusing on the year in question would go a long way).
The drama in the events speak for themselves... just give them a chance to do so is all I'm saying. Otherwise great vid! As a young Gen-X, this was a great nostalgia trip! 😀
dave roberts to take kershaw out of the game? Oh man, that was funny as hell!
Not to mention the Red Sox had first shot at signing both Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays, but turn them both down because of rasicm
Cry about it.
99-04 = peak baseball
22:21 “Fun too” 😂
8:56 candy? 😂
Staring Kevin Brown and Javier Vasquez sealed it for us in game 7 ( still salty about it )
Jimmy Fox didn’t play for the Red Sox until 1936
Who's got the better rivalry? Yankees-Red Sox, or Giants-Dodgers.
Go ROYALS!!
Pedro gave up a bomb to Chili Davis. Wow.
Wow fantastic. I lived it saw probably 75 games between 2003-2004. ..all 3 alds games in Oakland. Losing game 1 with my dad next 2 me ..
Torre so mismanaged that 2004 ALCS.
8:54.... Darryl....Daaarryyylllll.... Daaarryyyll
Jimmie foxx didn’t play in Boston until 1936 1:43
The end of the video is scaring me
Interesting background music.
Ill never forget Aroid gay slap of the glove lol
The sox have owned the Yankees for the last 20 years or since 04....Fun fact Bill Mueller's life time BA off Mariano Rivera is .455 For some reason he could hit that cutter
Best baseball season sox vs Yankees
The cardinals cubs rivalry could be a good one too
Haven't watched yet but its 2003-2004 right?
Jimmy Foxx didn’t play in the 1910’s.
Great video but I would appreciate not catching strays as a Twins fan
“Yankees legend Randy Choate”
Great video, but please look for a pronunciation guide next time. Lucchino, Mueller, and Mientkiewicz all mispronounced.
Lmfao I was a NY Mets fan hate watcher 😂
Still am
And as a Mets fan, I guess there's little else for you to do.
Go, Yankees!!!!!!
@@waynej2608Go Yankees!! To Cancun after getting eliminated in the ALCS again!
Mets fans will root for Boston if the Mets don’t make the playoffs while the redsox are in
As a orioles fan i have to see this mussina you traitor 😂
You might want to edit your video Jimmy Foxx did not play on the 1918 Red Sox he didn’t get to the team until 1936
🐍 thank you 2001 dbacks
Great video
oh ya of course it "peaked" when the red sox finally gave them a real challenge and won a few after 8 decades of "not really a rivalry" except boston fans were delusional;
The Yankees-Sox rivalry is the best American rivalry but not the best in all of sports
2004 Sox got Keith Foulke to stabilize the bullpen in addition to Schilling
Jimmy Foxx wouldn't play for the Red Sox for decades after Ruth was on the team.
The Lakers vs celtics rivalry is the best in all of sports
Lakers fans might be mad if Boston wins the nba finals
It's pronounced BillMiller btw, ik doesn't make sense but Mueller= Miller
and then the Red Sox said they were gonna chill in the 2010s against the Yankees. And then a certain Venezuelan second baseman and a team in Houston decided it was their turn to bully the Yankees around in the 2010s playoffs
I'll go with the Tigers as well. 3 playoff meetings that Detroit won all of.
Pop Rocks the most dangerous candy ever.
This is incredibly well done. (And I don’t even care, I’m a Tigers fan. Seriously, kudos)
I fell like the texas rangers are cursed, besides last year they couldn't win October even with soild players and struggled in the postseason
Naw they just have always sucked
They just won a ws lol. Cleveland is cursed. Seattle.
The phillies are cursed. Took 97 years to win a world series with only 2 championships in 140 seasons.
They're not cursed any longer. It's what happens when you have confidence, ownership and general manager and especially a manager who knows what he's doing. Bruce bocce is probably the best signing they ever have done. I'm absolutely shocked because prior to last season I would have agreed with you but not anymore
Doesn’t matter cause the Rangers are the reigning World Series Champions!
