New York Yankees: Yanks/Sox renew rivalry tonight, series preview

One of the oldest baseball rivalries is between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. The two teams have never liked each other since Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees for $125k to finance a Broadway production he was involved with. As history has shown, Ruth became one of the best baseball players in the game. He hit many home runs off his old team and set the fire for the rivalry.

Before the “Babe,” the Yankees had not won a World Series, but they won four Championships after acquiring him.
