Reseña del editor:

A history of the rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox features incisive essays by some of the game's most famous writers, archival photography, and key articles, in a volume that covers such topics as the sale of Babe Ruth in 1918 and the battle for the American League pennant in 2003. 30,000 first printing.

Contraportada:

"Here in Boston, the Hub of the Hardball Universe, we think that the 'rivalry' between the Red Sox and Yankees is the greatest rivalry in all of sports-better than Dodgers-Giants, Cardinals-Cubs, Celtics-Lakers, Cowboys-Redskins, Ali-Frazier, Texas-Oklahoma, Russell-Chamberlain, Michigan-Ohio State, Seabiscuit-War Admiral, and even Harvard-Yale."
- from the Introduction by Dan Shaughnessy

"[The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is] useful, even essential, to our understanding of the two teams, their cities, their fans, perhaps the Pastime and its nation. In many ways, it is similar to that Cold War rivalry between those other Reds and Yankees. It may even have been the model for it."
- from the Introduction by Robert Lipsyte
