  • * Text Features
    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 10, 2018 * The Boston Globe Red Sox-Yankees rivalry renewed and recharged Christopher L. Gasper The rivalry has been revived and so has the debate. Who is better, the Red Sox or the New York Yankees? Who is better positioned to deliver the next World Series winner from the American League East, the Red Sox or the Yankees? The Yankees, with arguably the best farm system in baseball and prospect capital the Sox can only dream of right now, look like a club with a long-term blueprint. With baseball’s highest payroll and a three-year championship window that’s in Year 2, the Red Sox look like the club with an exigent, Steinbrennerian mandate to capitalize on their talent now. Baseball’s War of the Roses resumes Tuesday at Fenway Park when the Red Sox and Yankees meet for the first time in the 2018 season — the opening game of a three-game series and the opening scene in a dramatic passion play that seems destined for an October denouement. The Red Sox and Yankees have made their rivalry fascinating and relevant again. After an offseason arms race (or bats race), escalated by the Yankees trading for Giancarlo Stanton, we finally get to measure the two teams on the field in meaningful baseball games. Baseball’s best and most intense rivalry is once again rife with subtext, subplots, intrigue, and a little animosity, stemming from last season’s smart watch-aided sign-stealing shenanigans by the Red Sox. The strong dislike between the Red Sox and Yankees emanates from the fan bases.

  • Adam Wilson, Lou Gehrig Day Committee Co-Chair, Cincinnati Reds Fan, Diagnosed with ALS in 2015: “I Have Long Been a Fan of Lou Gehrig the Player
    Adam Wilson, Lou Gehrig Day Committee Co-Chair, Cincinnati Reds Fan, Diagnosed with ALS in 2015: “I have long been a fan of Lou Gehrig the player. Now, I’m also a fan of him as a man and as the namesake of my disease. I’m proud to represent him as well as the entire ALS community as Lou Gehrig Day becomes a permanent fixture on the MLB calendar!” Chuck Haberstroh, Lou Gehrig Day Committee Co-Chair, Son of Patty Living with ALS, Boston Red Sox Fan: “The most rewarding project of my life has been the lg4day initiative. I am so proud of what we've been able to accomplish thus far...but the best is yet to come: we will honor Lou Gehrig’s legacy by finding cures and treatments to finally end ALS.” Tamara Hext Hilliard, Lou Gehrig Day Committee, Co-Founder of Team Hilliard ALS, Mom of Rockies OF Sam Hilliard, Colorado Rockies Fan: “I am excited to see MLB continue to advocate for ALS and honor the great Lou Gehrig. As I care for my husband, Jim, I will continue to be involved with ALS awareness efforts and the quest for a cure, both locally and nationally. I am proud to say that the Colorado Rockies were the first team to support Lou Gehrig Day, back in October 2019!” Mike Piscotty, Lou Gehrig Day Committee, President of ALS CURE Project, Dad of A’s OF Stephen Piscotty: “I believe Lou Gehrig’s sentiments as he said, ‘You don’t get the breaks unless you play with the team instead of against it.’ ALS is a curable disease if we work together in a coordinated manner to achieve breakthroughs following the collaboratively developed ‘Roadmap to Cure ALS.’ I look forward to the day when we have cured ALS and we celebrate Lou Gehrig the man, the leader and baseball player, and not Lou Gehrig who had the deadly ALS disease." Brian Frederick, Ph.D., Lou Gehrig Day Committee, Senior Vice President of The ALS Association, Washington Nationals Fan: “The people living with ALS, family members, and caregivers who have driven this campaign have inspired both the ALS and baseball communities.
