New York Yankees: Aaron Boone says Sox rivalry ‘missing a little’ intensity

Even the greatest rivalry in all of sports can’t go through COVID-19 unscathed. New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone felt intensity was absent from his team’s rivalry with the Boston Red Sox when the fans were removed from the equation.

“Tonight I certainly noticed and just being back at home,’’ Boone told the New York Post’s George A. King III on Friday. “Seeing our fans in this rivalry, can’t help but notice how usually how intense it is. That was missing a little bit so it was definitely a little bit different.
