yankees/sox


In spite of all the talk about it yanks/sox has only been consequential a little bit in the last decade of my lifetime.

It is series largely dominated by yankees. Granted, many media are east coast red sox fans tho so they'll turn a bartman story into a red sox reference

Mostly regionalized IMO. They haven't both been great at the same time since maybe the Will Clark Giants versus the Lasorda Dodgers.

Cards/Cubs is a surprisingly even series which tells you a lot about it being a rivalry when you consider the relative success of the two teams.

dodgers/giants is also very balanced. in terms of series record and franchise accomplishments

Lol wut?

They've combined to win 8 of the last 19 World Series, and we're pretty much living in the golden age of Red Sox baseball, which occured right after the latest Yankee dynasty.
