Re: No Yankee baseball tonight, however....

Ok, that’s fine, but it still doesn’t make it an obvious decision to root for the Pesky’s tonight…

By the way, you had an intense hatred against the Red Sux more than say the Indians back in the 1950’s?

I’m asking because I’ve heard from fathers of friends and other older fans who said there really wasn’t a Boston/New York rivalry until the early 1970’s when Fisk and Munson hated each other.

DiMaggio and Williams got along. Mantle and Williams didn’t hate each other. It even died down a little in the 1980’s after Munson died, and Fisk was a White Sox. Mattingly and Boggs didn’t hate each other either. Even after Boggs sat on his fanny sweating it out watching Donnie making the Batting Title race close in that final weekend in 1986.

And I would’ve HATED the 1954 Cleveland Indians with their 111 win season, that knocked the 103 win Yankees out of the playoffs!!
