Why Red Sox Nation Should Cheer for the Yankees

Red Sox-Yankees. Just the mention of these two teams evokes memories of pure hatred, heartbreak, and violence. In the past 5 years, this rivalry, considered by many to be the greatest in sports, has become even more competitive, largely due to the resurgence of the Red Sox. Recall: The Don Zimmer [...]
