The " Massachusetts Game," as it was called, was played on a field with four bases and with home plate in the middle whereas, the "New York Game," popularized by the New York Knickerbocker Club, was played on a diamond with three bases. The cities even played two different versions of early baseball. By the start of the 20th century the original dynamic, centered on Boston, had completely shifted as New York, particularly Wall Street, became the financial center of both the United States and the world. Another factor was its more rapid population expansion compared to that of Boston, driven by the growth of these industries, by New York's popularity as an immigration port of entry, and enhanced by a larger population base, even prior to the construction of the Canal – on the eve of the Revolution, New York, with 30,000 people, had nearly twice the population of Boston, with about 16,000. In the 19th century, however, New York's economic power outpaced Boston's, fueled by possession of the terminus of the Erie Canal, which spurred massive growth in the manufacturing, shipping, insurance and financial services businesses. During this time period, New York was often looked down upon as the upstart, over-populated, dirty cousin to aristocratic and clean Boston. Its location as a close American port to Europe and its concentration of elite schools and manufacturing hubs helped maintain this position for several decades. For more than a century after its founding, Boston was arguably the educational, cultural, artistic, and economic power in the United States. Background īoston and New York City have shared a rivalry as cities since before the American Revolution. Outside of baseball, the rivalry has led to violence between fans, along with attention from politicians and other athletes. Yankees–Red Sox games are some of the most-watched MLB games each season. National carriers of Major League Baseball coverage, including Fox/FS1, ESPN, and MLB Network carry most of the games in the rivalry across the nation, regardless of team standings or playoff implications. Games between the two teams often generate considerable interest and receive extensive media coverage, including being broadcast on national television. This match-up is regarded by some sports journalists as the greatest rivalry in sports. The Red Sox went on to win the World Series, ending the 86-year-old curse. The Red Sox comeback was the only time in American baseball history that a team has come back from a 0–3 deficit to win a series.

Similarly, in the 2004 ALCS, the Yankees ultimately lost a best-of-7 series after leading 3–0. The first-place tie came after the Red Sox had a 14-game lead over the Yankees more than halfway through the season. The Yankees and the Red Sox finished tied for first in 1978 subsequently, the Yankees won a high-profile tie-breaker game for the division title. In addition, the teams have twice met in the last regular-season series of a season to decide the AL pennant, in 1904 (when the Red Sox, then known as the Americans, won) and 1949 (when the Yankees won). On October 5, the Red Sox also beat the Yankees in the 2021 American League Wild Card (play-in) Game, 6–2, which was held at Fenway Park. The two teams have also met once in the AL Division Series (ALDS), in 2018, with Boston winning 3–1, a series which included a 16–1 Red Sox win in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium, the most lopsided postseason loss for the Yankees in their history. The Yankees won twice, in 19 while the Red Sox won in 2004. Until the 2014 season, every season's postseason had featured one or both of the AL East rivals since the inception of the wild card format and the resultant additional Division Series in 1995 they have faced each other in the AL Championship Series (ALCS) three times. The rivalry is often a heated subject of conversation, especially in the home region of both teams, the Northeastern United States. This led to the popularization of a superstition known as the " Curse of the Bambino," which was one of the most well-known aspects of the rivalry. In 1919, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold star player Babe Ruth to the Yankees, which was followed by an 86-year period in which the Red Sox did not win a World Series. Both teams have competed in MLB's American League (AL) for over 120 seasons and have since developed what is arguably the fiercest rivalry in all of American sports.
