Hunter Dobbins has only appeared in 10 games in his major-league career.
But the Red Sox rookie has already found a way to entrench himself in the century-long rivalry between Boston and the New York Yankees over the last week.
Before his start against the Yankees on Sunday, Dobbins, 25, told the Boston Herald that he would retire before playing for New York. Beyond that clear disdain for the Yankees, Dobbins told the Herald that his father, Lance, was drafted twice by New York before later being traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
