"Boston and New York's animosity has been in place for over a century as two of the top franchises in MLB. But for all of their battles over the decades, they've actually only met six times in the postseason - not counting play-in games such as Bucky [redacted] Dent's heroics for New York in 1978. History has been on Boston's side as of late, with the Red Sox having won three straight series against their top rival -"
"Boston's efforts to try and halt New York's late-90s dynasty ended up being in vain, as the Yankees handled their rival in five games en route to a third World Series championship in four years. The Yankees set the tone in Game 1 after Bernie Williams hit a walk-off home run in the Bronx, with a lopsided 16-1 win for Boston in Game 3 (featuring a shutout start from Pedro Martinez) standing as the lone blip for New York."
The Red Sox and Yankees will meet in a best-of-three Wild-Card series at Yankee Stadium. The two franchises have clashed for over a century yet have met only six times in the postseason, excluding play-in games such as Bucky [redacted] Dent's 1978 heroics. Boston has dominated recent postseason encounters, winning three straight series against New York and eight of their last nine postseason games in October. The 1999 ALCS saw the Yankees defeat Boston 4-1, though New York only outscored Boston by two runs in five games. The 2003 ALCS stretched to seven games and featured a benches-clearing brawl and a Yankees 4-3 series victory.
