These Games Never Get Old
In this modern media world, things get over hyped very easily. I know some have speculated that the Yankees vs. Red Sox rivalry has gotten over hyped. That is not the case. If it was just about silly off field stuff and history I would agree. What makes the Yankees vs. Red Sox rivalry especially the renewed version of the past 10 years so special is that they continually play classic games at a higher rate then any other 2 teams that match up in sports. After last nights game, Jason Bay officially had his Red Sox card stamped and Yooouuuk. Well, the legend just grows. Even more then the home run something that amazed me early in the game was the Yooouuuk was intentionally walked. It did not surprise me because he is one of the best hitters in baseball. What is amazing about it is what this guy was known for early in career was being able to work the count and get walk. Thus, The Greek God of Walks nickname. Now he does not have to work them; A walk from Yooouuuk is the best the other team can hope for in some cases.
