It's the rivalry of rivalries - worse than the Hatfields and the McCoys, worse than postmen and dogs, worse even than the Montagues and the Capulets. It's the hundred year war of contention between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. We'll explore the deep-seated rivalry between these two cities, where it comes from and how it has evolved from the Curse of the Bambino to the 2004 American League Championship series.
