The Rivals: The New York Yankees vs. the Boston Red Sox---An Inside History

A Struggle for the Ages. . .

BOSTON GLOBE JANUARY 6, 1920
RED SOX SELL RUTH FOR $100,000 CASH
--------
Demon Slugger of American League, Who Made 29 Home Runs Last Season, Goes to New York Yankees
--------
FRAZEE TO BUY NEW PLAYERS

The Yankees vs. the Red Sox. Each baseball season begins and ends with unique intensity, focused on a single question: What's ahead for these two teams? One, the most glamorous, storied, and successful franchise in all of sports; the other, perennially star-crossed but equally rich in baseball history and legend. In The Rivals sports writers of The New York Times and The Boston Globe come together in the first-ever collaboration between the two cities' leading newspapers to tell the inside story of the teams' intertwined histories, each from the home team's perspective.

Beginning with the Red Sox's early glory days (when the Yankees were perennial losers), continuing through the Babe Ruth era and the notorious trade that made the Yankees champions (and marked the Sox with the so-called "Curse of the Bambino"); to Ted Williams vs. Joe DiMaggio; Thurman Munson and Carlton Fisk; Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez; down to last year's legendary playoff showdown, The Rivals captures the drama of key eras, events, and personalities of both teams.

And who better to tell the story than the baseball writers of the two rival cities? For The New York Times, it's Dave Anderson, Harvey Araton, Jack Curry, Tyler Kepner, Robert Lipsyte and George Vecsey who report on the Yankee view of the rivalry, while The Boston Globe
loch's Gordon Edes, Jackie MacMullan, Bob Ryan and Dan Shaughnessy recount the view from the Hub. And their stories are richly illustrated with classic photographs and original articles from the archives, capturing the great moments as they happened. For Red Sox fans, Yankees fans, or anyone interested in remarkable baseball history, The Rivals is an expert, up-close look at the longest, and fiercest of all sports rivalries.

5A Happy Yankee Fan  Jan 26, 2012
By Robert Thomson "Chef Bob"
I ordered this book for my fourth grade Yankee Fan Grandson who thinks this is just great. He needs to read so many books in a given time and this will be one of them.

4Babe,Bucky,Buckner and Boone  Jan 14, 2012
By Tim Williams
A gracefully written summary of the rivalry between the Red Sox and Yankees that covers all the bases and also gives us fly on the wall tidbits along the way. We relive Game Six of the 1986 World Series from Paul Simon's national anthem right through to Buckner's bitter end. We remember the famous events but also learn specific details that add color. We read about George Steinbrenner's famous feuds but we also see an illuminating behind the scenes interaction with infielder Bobby Meacham. The only improvement I'd make is to cut back on the number of essayists. Sometimes, the number of essayists interrupts the narrative flow and leads to unnecessary repetition. Nevertheless, this is an excellent book for non-citizens of the respective baseball nations, and an illuminating retrospective for citizens.

5The Pillars of Capitalism vs. the Boston Bolsheviki  Oct 15, 2007
By Paleoconservative Auk
Despite my title, the book is a great history of the close non-neighborly relation between the Yankees and Red Sox over the years. The famous stuff is all there, but there are also many lesser-known vignettes of people and surroundings of Grand Concourse/Jerome Avenue and Kenmore Square.
