History

Since before the start of the American Revolution, Boston and New York have shared an intense rivalry as cities[3]. In this article the inhabitants of the thirteen colonies that supported the American Revolution are primarily referred to as "Americans" with occasional references to "Patriots" The City of New York While the Sons of Liberty stirred up the flames of revolution in Boston[4], Tories (loyalists) in New York argued that America should stay loyal to the crown[5]. The Sons of Liberty was a Secret organization of American Patriots which originated in the Thirteen Colonies during the American Revolution. In the political tradition of some English-speaking countries, the term Tory has referred to a variety of political parties and Creeds since it was When the Siege of Boston ended, most citizens of Boston celebrated wildly (and still celebrate Evacuation Day to this day). Background Prior to 1775 the British had imposed taxes onto the Americans which they did not take kindly to In Suffolk County Massachusetts, March 17 is Evacuation Day, an official holiday commemorating the evacuation of the city of Boston by British George Washington later faced defeat in New York, which remained under British control until the end of the war. George Washington (February 22 1732 December 14 1799 served as the first President of the United States of America (1789&ndash1797 and led the

For more than a century afterwards, Boston was arguably the educational, cultural, artistic, and economic power in the United States. The 19th century of the Common Era began on January 1, 1801 and ended on December 31, 1900, according to the Gregorian calendar [6] Boston's location as the closest American port to Europe and its concentration of elite schools and manufacturing hubs helped maintain this image for several decades. During this time period, New York was often looked down upon as the upstart, over-populated, dirty cousin to aristocratic and clean Boston. [6] New York's economic power soon outpaced Boston's in the 1800s due to its rapid population growth and terminus of the Erie Canal, along with massive growth in the manufacturing, shipping, insurance and financial services businesses. The Erie Canal is a popular canal in New York state from the Hudson River to Lake Erie, approximately 360 miles connecting the Great Lakes By the start of the 20th century this dynamic had completely shifted as New York had become the focus of American capitalism (especially on Wall Street), and the change was reflected in the new national pastime. Wall Street is a street in lower Manhattan, New York City, United States.

The Red Sox were one of the most successful teams in baseball at the turn of the 20th century and through the following two decades. The team won the inaugural World Series in 1903 and four more between 1912 and 1918. For other events named "World Series" see World Series (disambiguation. During this period, the Yankees were often called the Highlanders, in reference to playing their games in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. Washington Heights is a New York City neighborhood in the northern reaches of the borough of Manhattan. Manhattan Island, in New York Harbor, is much the largest part of the Borough of Manhattan, one of the Five Boroughs which form the City of New York Although physically located on a hilltop, the Highlanders routinely finished near the bottom of the standings. Hilltop Park was the nickname of a Baseball park that formerly stood in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. The one notable exception came in 1904, when the Highlanders, led by pitcher Jack Chesbro who won a record 41 games, met the Boston Americans on the final game of the season to decide the AL pennant. John Dwight Chesbro ( June 5, 1874 &ndash November 6, 1931) was a Major League Baseball Pitcher at the turn of the Chesbro threw a wild pitch and Boston won the pennant, but there was no World Series that year as the Giants refused to play. In Baseball, a wild pitch (abbreviated WP) is charged against a Pitcher when his pitch is too high too short or too wide of Home That would be the last time in a hundred years that the Red Sox would defeat the Yankees in a title-deciding game.

In 1916, the Red Sox were purchased by Harry Frazee on credit for $500,000. Fenway Park The Ruth sale cemented the Red Sox-Yankees alliance which was ironic given their historically bitter rivalry Though the team won the World Series in 1918, Frazee was hard-pressed to pay off the loans he accrued by purchasing the team and by producing Broadway shows. Broadway theater, commonly called simply Broadway, refers to theatrical performances presented in one of the 39 large professional theaters with 500 seats or more located After the Red Sox finished sixth in the American League in 1919, Frazee sold several Red Sox players, including pitcher-turned-outfielder Babe Ruth to the Yankees. George Herman Ruth Jr (February 6 1895 &ndash August 16 1948 also popularly known as " Babe " " The Bambino " and " The Sultan of Frazee received $125,000 and a loan of $300,000 - secured on Fenway Park, the Red Sox' home stadium - for Ruth.

Ruth's arrival in New York simultaneously launched the Yankee dynasty while ravaging the Red Sox. The City of New York While the Red Sox' five World Series titles were a record at the time, 1918 would be the team's last championship for 86 years. Meanwhile, Ruth's home run hitting prowess anchored the Yankee line-up, which became known as "Murderers' Row" in the late-1920s. Murderers’ Row is also the title of a 1962 novel by Donald Hamilton and a 1966 Motion picture, Murderers’ Row, based on the book starring After his trade to the Yankees, Ruth's new team reached the World Series seven times during his career in New York, winning four. This abrupt reversal of fortunes for the Red Sox marked the beginning of the supposed "Curse of the Bambino". The Curse of the Bambino was a Superstition cited often jokingly as a reason for the failure of the Boston Red Sox Baseball team to win the World But it was not the Ruth deal alone that reversed the fortunes of both clubs.

Robert W. Creamer, in Babe: The Legend Comes to Life (Simon & Schuster, 1974, p. 209), reports that, "The loan was made and relations between the two clubs continued to be cordial, with Frazee sending player after player to the Yankees over the next few seasons for more and more cash. The Red Sox soon became a baseball disaster area, finishing dead last nine times in eleven seasons. " Among others, Wally Schang, Everett Scott, Carl Mays, Waite Hoyt, Joe Bush and Sam Jones went from the Sox to the Yanks in the next one to three years. Walter Henry (Wally Schang ( August 22, 1889 - March 6, 1965) was a Catcher in Major League Baseball. Lewis Everett Scott ( November 19, 1892 &ndash November 2, 1960) nicknamed "Deacon" was an American Shortstop Carl William Mays ( November 12 1891 &ndash April 4 1971) was one of the better right-handed Pitchers in Major League Baseball Waite Charles Hoyt ( September 9, 1899 &ndash August 25, 1984) was an American Right-handed Pitcher in This article is about Sam Jones (1892-1966 The baseball player Sam Jones (1925-1971 . . along with Ed Barrow, former Red Sox manager who became the Yankees' General Manager and empire-builder for the first quarter-century of the Yankees' dynasty. Edward Grant Barrow ( May 10, 1868 - December 15, 1953) was an American manager and executive in Major League Baseball

From 1920 through 2003, the Yankees won 26 World Series championships and 39 pennants, compared to only four pennants for the Red Sox. To make matters worse, in every year that the Red Sox won the pennant — 1946, 1967, 1975 and 1986 — they lost the World Series four games to three, leaving them with no World Series titles. During this time, the Red Sox finished second in the standings to the Yankees on twelve occasions - in 1938, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1949, 1978, and every year from 1998 to 2003. During the 84 year period, the Yankees finished with a better regular-season record than the Red Sox 66 times, leading one sportswriter to quip that the Yankees' rivalry with the Red Sox was much like the rivalry "between a hammer and a nail".

The 1949 season, about which books have been written, saw a dramatic finish between the teams. The Yankees were painted as the underdogs. A Willard Mullin cartoon showed a broken and battered Yankees player trying to "bar the door" of the "First Place" house. Willard Mullin ( September 14 1902 &ndash December 20 1978) was an American sports Cartoonist. Already sitting inside was a Red Sox player wearing a derby, holding an "eviction notice", and telling the Yankee, "Expecting someone, Bub?"

The Red Sox found themselves up by one game with two games left against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees won both of them to capture the pennant, and then won the World Series, starting a record run of five straight World Series titles for the Yankees. The 1949 World Series featured the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, with the Yankees winning in five games for their second defeat of the Dodgers in

In 1978, the Red Sox, led by Jim Rice, Carl Yastrzemski, Fred Lynn and catcher Carlton Fisk, seemed as if they were destined for a trip to the Fall Classic for the second time in the 70s. James Edward Rice (born March 8 1953) is a former Left fielder in Major League Baseball who played for the American League 's Carl Michael Yastrzemski (jəˈstrɛmski (born August 22, 1939) nicknamed "Yaz" then moved him to the Minneapolis Millers for the post-season Frederic Michael "Fred" Lynn (born February 3 1952 in Chicago Illinois) is a former Center fielder in Major League Baseball Carlton Ernest Fisk (born December 26 1947 in) is a former Major League Baseball Catcher who played for 24 years with the Boston Red Sox For other events named "World Series" see World Series (disambiguation. They led the Yankees in the standings by 14 1/2 games by mid-July, less than three months to go in the regular season. The Yankees turned their season around just as the Red Sox seemed to collapse. By September 7, the Yankees had closed the once seemingly insurmountable 14 1/2 game deficit to only 4 games just in time for a four-game series at Fenway Park in Boston. Events 1251 BC - A Solar eclipse on this date might mark the birth of legendary Heracles at Thebes Greece. The Yankees won all four games in the series by the scores of 15-3, 13-2, 7-0 and 7-4 for a combined score of 42-9. This series became known as the "Boston Massacre". On September 16, 1978 the Yankees held a 3. 5 game lead over the Red Sox but the Sox won 12 of their next 14 games(and their last eight in a row) to overcome that deficit and finish in a first place tie with the Yankees with identical 99-63 records. A one-game playoff was scheduled in Boston to determine who would win the AL East Pennant for 1978.

Boston placed former Yankee Mike Torrez on the mound, while the Yankees countered with the Cy Young Award-winner from that year, Ron Guidry, who took at 24-3 record into the game. Michael Augustine Torrez (born August 28 1946 in Topeka Kansas) is a former Pitcher in Major League Baseball.

Reginald Martinez Jackson (born May 18 1946) nicknamed " Mr The Sox rallied in the bottom of the inning, scoring twice. They rallied again in the ninth, only to come up short when Yastrzemski popped out to third baseman Graig Nettles with runners on second and third, ending the game. Graig Nettles (born August 20, 1944, in San Diego California) (nicknamed Puff) is a former Major League Baseball Third baseman The Yankees won 5-4. New York went on to defeat Kansas City in the ALCS and Los Angeles in the World Series for their second straight World Series title. The 1978 World Series matched the defending champion New York Yankees against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a rematch of the 1977 Series, with the Yankees

In 1999, the Yankees and Red Sox faced each other for the first time in the ALCS. The American League Championship Series was a matchup between the Eastern Division Champion New York Yankees (98-64 and the Wild Card Boston Red Sox (94-68 The Yankees were the defending World Series Champions and in the midst of a run of three consecutive World Championships, while Boston had not appeared in the ALCS since 1990. Despite intense buildup to this historic, first-ever postseason meeting between the two longtime rivals, the series proved to be somewhat anticlimatic, with New York winning four games to one. The lone bright spot for the Red Sox came in Game 3 at Boston's Fenway Park, in what had been a much anticipated pitching matchup of former Red Sox star Roger Clemens, who was now pitching for the Yankees, and Boston ace Pedro Martínez. William Roger Clemens (born August 4, 1962 in Dayton, Ohio) is an American Right-handed Pitcher in Major Pedro Jaime Martínez (born October 25 1971 in Manoguayabo, Dominican Republic) is a Major League Baseball Starting pitcher for the Martinez struck out twelve and did not allow a run through seven innings of work; Clemens was hit hard, giving up five earned runs and only lasting into the third inning of a 13-1 Red Sox victory. However, the Yankees rebounded to win games 4 and 5, clinching the American League pennant and advancing to the Series, where they swept the Atlanta Braves. The 1999 World Series matched the defending champion New York Yankees against the Atlanta Braves, with the Yankees sweeping the Series in four games The loss to Martinez was the Yankees' only postseason loss, as the team went 11-1.

In 2003, the two teams faced off in the ALCS for the second time. The 2003 American League Championship Series was played between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees from October 8 to The intensity of the series was highlighted by a protracted dispute in Game 3 which devolved into a bench-clearing altercation in which Yankees coach Don Zimmer charged Boston ace Pedro Martínez and was shoved to the grass. Donald William Zimmer (born January 17, 1931 in Cincinnati Ohio) is a former Infielder, manager, and a coach in Major League Tied at three wins apiece after the first six grueling and fervent games, Boston held a 5-2 lead in the eighth inning of Game 7 at Yankee Stadium in New York, with Martinez on the mound. The original Yankee Stadium is a Stadium located in The Bronx in New York City. The Yankees began a one-out rally with three straight hits that cut the deficit to 5-3 and left runners on second and third base. It seemed that Martinez had tired, but Boston manager Grady Little decided to leave him in the game. William Grady Little (born March 30, 1950) is a former manager in Major League Baseball. This decision immediately backfired when the next batter, New York catcher Jorge Posada, blooped a double into center field that scored both runners and tied the game.
