Some private message banter got me thinking about the greatest rivalry in sports. The Yankees and the Red Sox seem to meet every other week and every game's a sellout. And they are always great games.
Amidst all the cheers and boos, the players and the fans respect each other. The Yankee's need the Red Sox and the Red Sox need the Yankees. It's the thing I love most about baseball, pure sport and the heart of competition. The rivalry even transcends baseball into greatness; any champion needs a great challenger otherwise they would be Champions.
As a devoted Red Sox fan, I tip my hat to the New York Yankees.
But I still wish we had Johnny Damon![Biggrin2 :biggrin: :biggrin:](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/animated_and_colorful/biggrin.gif)
