One of the most memorable moments in Yankees-Sox rivalry

[onionblaster]

I don't think I'll ever have feelings for athletes in the same way that I love David Ortiz and hate Derek Jeter

OP: ...your point? Getting a little pissy because the Yankees are behind the Red Sox or something?

Speaking as someone who grew up here, theres basically no such thing as a "fair weather fan" in boston. I was obviously born well before the, ah, breaking of the curse, and for as long as I can remember, everyone has been baseball crazy. No one gives a hoot about the celtics, the bruins, (yea, we love our pats, but they arent really boston), but the red sox...its just insane.
Anyway, one of the greatest moments of Red Sox vs. Yankee's history, is when Varitek (my favorite player since about 1999, he never gets enough attention), slammed his glove into A-Rod's face. Obligatory picture:

EDIT: One more thing about Boston. Whether or not you watched the game, by 11:00 the next morning, no matter how the game went, you will know the outcome. Someone will have been talking about it to you, near you, or whatever. Every single game.

There are two ways to enter the U.S. besides crossing border illegally. One is you provide legal documents, the other is you have a 95MPH fastball.

Not so much a moment, but the 1941 season was a memorable one for both the Sox and Yanks. The Yankees won the American league handily, with the Red sox finishing 2nd, a distant 17 games back, and the Bombers went on to win the World series. That was not the story though.

The story, for me at least, is one that tells about the players, and their attitudes towards one another - sort of a mutual respect, in spite of the bitter rivalry, that still exists today. 1941 was the year of Joe Dimaggio's amazing 56 game hitting streak that extended from May 15th to July 16th. Playing left for the Red Sox was Ted Williams, and the man to Ted's left, in center, was Dom Dimaggio, Joe's brother. Dom played his entire career, 11 season's, for the Sox, and hit over .300 in most of them - he was a fine player. Anyhow as the season, and Joe's hitting streak progressed, Ted would ask the scoreboard operator inside the Green Monster to let him know if Joe got a hit that day, then he would yell over to Dom in center, "Joe got one, Dom.", or whatever the report would be.

Oh, another reason 1941 was a memorable season? Ted hit .406 that season.

Ah, but if it's a moment you want, how 'bout A-Rod slapping the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's mitt in 2004? I heard Steinbrenner wanted the purse in matching pinstripes, but A-Rod's fashion advisor suggested the contrasting solid black.

That's awesome. You just made my day. I remember watching that on Sportscenter and thinking,"What a frickin' sissy, can't stand to be tagged out?"
