Dal risvolto di copertina interno
The contention between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox goes on and on and on. Even the most casual of baseball watchers was riveted by the battle for the American League pennant in 2003, reacting with either gleeful elation or grim despair as little-known Yankee third baseman Aaron Boone hit a homer in the early-morning hours of an extra-inning game to send New York to yet another World Series and the Red Sox once again packing for a long winter.
Mike Vaccaro covered that game and hundreds of other explosive Yankees-Red Sox confrontations. In DAMN YANKEES, DAMNED SOX, the veteran sports columnist uses the 2003 play-offs as a starting point for a thorough, and thoroughly balanced, journey into the legendary rivalry between the teams. He examines the seeds of the animosity, its most recent manifestations, and everything in between. Did the fierce competition begin with the Red Sox s sale of Babe Ruth in 1919 (widely believed to have triggered the notorious Curse of the Bambino ) or did the sweet ring of East Coast rivalry exist long before? Did it resonate loudest through Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio in their remarkable, head-to-head, record-setting 1941 seasons or at the climax of the October 1978 series, when Bucky Dent hit his famous homer over Fenway Park s Green Monster to ruin another Red Sox season?
No other baseball teams have had the extensive national followings that the Yankees and the Red Sox share. Vaccaro s in-depth, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable history is bound to be a big, countrywide hit.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. The New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox. For a hundred years, no two teams have locked horns as fiercely or as frequently - and no two seasons frame the colossal battle more perfectly than 2003 and 2004. Now, with incredible energy and access, leading sports columnist Mike Vaccaro chronicles the history of the greatest rivalry in sports, and the two stunning American League Championship Series that define a century of baseball. October 17, 2003: A night no Yankees or Red Sox fan will ever forget. At 12:15 am, bottom of the eleventh inning of game seven of the ALCS, New York third-baseman Aaron Boone launches a ball over Yankee Stadium's left-field fence. The Yankees win their 39th pennant - and send the perennially vexed Boston Red Sox home . . . again . . . suffering another devastating loss to their longtime nemesis. October 20, 2004: A year later, an eerie reprise - but this time things are different. After losing three straight to the Yankees, Boston has charged back to win the next three, forcing a decisive game seven. From the start of the game Boston is in control, and by winning this game they march toward their first World Series victory since 1918. These two explosive years define an extraordinary, epic rivalry - from Mariano Rivera and Roger Clemens to Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling, Derek Jeter and Aaron Boone to David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, from nearly a century of Yankee domination to the undisputed breaking of The Curse. With the razor-sharp instincts that have made him a top sports journalist, Mike Vaccaro delves into the history of the rollicking rivalry: a vicious collision in 1903 (between the New York Highlanders and Boston Pilgrims) that draws first blood; the era of Babe Ruth and his legendary trade from the Red Sox to the Yankees, ushering in the notorious Curse; the golden age of DiMaggio and Williams; the unstoppable power of Mantle and Maris; the heart and soul of Fisk and Yazstremski versus Pinella and Munson; and the modern era of dueling owners, skyrocketing payrolls, and a renewed rivalry that attracts sell-out crowds even to Yankees-Red Sox spring training games. EMPERORS AND IDIOTS is as lively, fascinating, and raucous as the teams themselves - a must-have volume for any Yankees or Red Sox fan. Codice articolo 00103771876
