Over the past few days, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox have been locked in the best-of-three Wild Card matches. The Red Sox took the win in Game One, putting the New York Yankees on the back foot. However, in Game Two, the Yankees took the victory and evened the score.
Tonight, the two rival teams are set to play again; this time, the winner takes all. Winner moves forward, and the loser goes home. The rivals have been feuding with each other for decades, ever since the cities founded their respective teams.
New York City and Boston have had a rivalry since before the American Revolution even took place. The two cities have held this rivalry with each other since before the game of baseball as we know it. When the game was founded, the rivalry between the cities was naturally inherited by their respective baseball teams.
From the beginning, the two teams competed with each other and sought to prove themselves superior to the other. Over the course of this long rivalry, plenty of conflicts have broken out and have furthered the tension between the teams, even as the members retire or get traded away.
With the third and final game between the two teams scheduled for tonight, the rivalry tension should be higher than ever. Both teams will be setting out to give it their all to win the day. Fans will set out to give their support and watch the clash between their champions.
No matter what the outcome is, tonight’s matchup will be another unforgettable chapter in one of the fiercest rivalries in MLB history.
