In honor of Jackie Robinson Day, the Red Sox go on the road, as they invade the Bronx in New York to face their all-time greatest division rivals, the Yankees.

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. 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. 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 the early days of Major League Baseball, the Sox were the most successful–winning the first World Series in 1904 and more games than just about anybody until 1918, including four more titles. The Yankees were annual also-rans, never getting a title during the first 20 years of play, and they were pretty much wrecked by their New England neighbors at every opportunity.
