The Red Sox and Yankees are set to add another chapter to their storied rivalry this week when they clash in a best-of-three Wild-Card series at Yankee Stadium.
Boston and New York’s animosity has been in place for over a century as two of the top franchises in MLB.
But for all of their battles over the decades, they’ve actually only met six times in the postseason — not counting play-in games such as Bucky [redacted] Dent’s heroics for New York in 1978.
History has been on Boston’s side as of late, with the Red Sox having won three straight series against their top rival — and eight of their last nine postseason games in October.
