Day: October 4, 2021

Game 154 in 1949, Bucky Dent in 1978, the Aaron f’n Boone game in 2003, and Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS collapse. Those have been the four other win-or-go-home games between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Now comes the fifth on Tuesday night as the greatest rivalry in all of sports is renewed. It follows both teams winning Game 162 on the final day of the regular season. Both teams finished with the same record, at 92-70. But the Red Sox won the season series, 10-9, which means this will go down at Fenway Park.
