This opening series between the Yankees and Red Sox is arguably the most hyped battle between these epic rivals in recent memory.
An injection of promising new blood for both clubs has fans hopeful that the rivalry is back, despite the absence of David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez, both of whom were famously hated by opposing fanbases.
It’s true, the Yanks and Red Sox have the young talent and money to be perennial contenders in the coming years, and it would be fantastic to see them go at it like they did back in 2003 (the following year does not exist).
