Wiilo Posted October 11, 2004 The showdown in the East is set to begin tomorrow night in Yankees Stadium. Red Sox-Yankees History: Some of the highlights in the rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees: Jan. 3, 1920 -- Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sells Babe Ruth to the Yankees, two years after Ruth helped Boston win its last World Series title. May 30, 1938 -- Red Sox player-manager Joe Cronin and New York outfielder Jake Powell fight on the field and beneath the stands before a Yankee Stadium record crowd of 83,533. 1941 -- Ted Williams bats .406 for the Red Sox, the last .400 season in the major leagues. But Joe DiMaggio's record 56-game hitting streak carries him past Williams for the AL MVP Award. Oct. 1-2, 1949 -- An epic pennant race between the teams comes down to the last weekend of the season, when New York beats Boston at Yankee Stadium on the final two days to win the AL by one game. May 24, 1952 -- Jimmy Piersall and New York's Billy Martin exchange punches in the tunnel beneath the stands at Fenway Park. Aug. 1, 1973 -- Thurman Munson crashes into Boston's Carlton Fisk at home plate, sparking a brawl between the two catchers at Fenway Park. Oct. 2, 1978 -- Light-hitting shortstop Bucky Dent's pop fly clears the Green Monster, sending the Yankees to a comeback victory in a one-game playoff for the AL East crown after they trailed Boston by 14 games on July 19. Oct. 11, 2003 -- Yankees bench coach and former Red Sox manager Don Zimmer lunges at Martinez, who throws the 73-year-old coach to the ground during a brawl in Game 3 of the ALCS. Later in the game, New York reliever Jeff Nelson and right fielder Karim Garcia get into a fight with a Fenway Park groundskeeper. Oct. 16, 2003 -- The Yankees rally to tie Game 7 of the ALCS after Red Sox manager Grady Little decides not to remove a tiring Martinez in the eighth inning. Slumping third baseman Aaron Boone homers off Tim Wakefield in the 11th to send the Yankees to the World Series. Dec. 18, 2003 -- The Red Sox fail to complete a trade with Texas for star shortstop Alex Rodriguez after the players' union vetoes a proposal to restructure his record $252 million, 10-year contract. Feb. 16, 2004 -- After Boone injures his left knee playing pickup basketball on Jan. 16, the Yankees trade Alfonso Soriano to Texas for Rodriguez, who is shifted to third base. July 24, 2004 -- Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek and Rodriguez exchange heated words after A-Rod is hit by a pitch. Varitek shoves Rodriguez in the face, inciting a brawl at Fenway. It was at least the seventh time the teams have brawled in their long-running feud. Wabillaahi Towfiiq: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Pujols, Larry walker canadian.. damn they good, hope the mess up Yankees. and their long tradition.. cheap yankees buy everyone on the market.. they might as well buy ichiro and randy johnson for next year.. thank god they didn't get Vladimir Guerrero..

Wiilo Posted October 16, 2004 Qacqaac saaxiib waan kuu jeedaa Qaraar aa ku haayo "thank god they didn't get Vladimir Guerrero" Yeah when the cheap Canadians couldn't affort his salary they send to the Anaham, who obviously are not in the Playoffs now. Unlike other owners, the Yankees are owned by a man who can buy any player he wants, and is willing to pay a lot of money on his ballclub. His Yankees are very successful team unlike the Damn Red Soxs, who are adapted loosing to the Successful Yankees team every year. so please bro, don't get too excited this year or years to come for the Red Soxs, 'cause evey year is gonna be the same..........Lol P.S. I don't have a crush on anyone in that team. Go figure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LayZie G. Posted October 18, 2004 wiilo, damn how can u like the Yankees, unless u have crush on Jeter or A rod.. i don't get it loool. Did anyone ask you to get anything??? Just because she is a girl, she has to have a crush on someone to be a yankee fan??? Sometimes I wonder if your views are as black and white as your blank remarks. How do you function in the real world, nin yahow?? Back to Wiilo, I am not a baseball fan, only because their season is very long and not to mention boring...but I tune in during playoffs, its much interesting than their regular season. I am actually watching the sox and yankee's as we speak, sox fighting hard to win this game. In any case, baseball is boring but nevertheless interesting in a very strange way.
