Red Soxs vs. Yankees

The Yankees' 26 World Series titles are more than any team in baseball, and they are headquartered in the world capital of finance, fashion and media. The Red Sox, meanwhile, have won two of the past five World Series and play in a city that is home to more than 100 colleges and universities, the Freedom Trail and the state capital of Massachusetts. But that's certainly nowhere near enough for everyone residing in New York and Boston. What New York and Boston baseball fans really want is for their city to be known as the capital of the baseball universe. And the only way either city can claim that mythical title is by wrestling it away from the other. As a result, when the Yankees and Red Sox renew their rivalry May 4-5 in the Bronx, it will once again feel like the world is hanging in the balance.
