A Tale of Two Cities: The 2004 Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry and the War for the Pennant
When the Boston Red Sox faced the New York Yankees in the historic 2003 American League Championship Series, the meeting seemed to serve as the climax to perhaps the greatest rivalry in professional sports.

In't kort: de ondertitel zegt al veel: 'The 2004 Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry and the War for the Pennant.' de New York Yankees en de Boston Red Sox zijn aartsrivalen in het Amerikaanse baseball, en hebben al heel wat robbertjes uitgevochten in de playoffs. In 2003 nog, moesten de Red Sox in de 7de en beslissende wedstrijd hun meerdere erkennen in die vermaledijde Yankees.

A fun read, but it didn't live up to the "intimate, insiders' look" promised on the back cover. (They never do four years after the fact.

My recall of that season is a bit different. I do think AROD started that fight. And I do think Varitek made him look like a girl.
another of my faves- tries very hard to be balanced on the rivalry
This book taught me so much about the Yankees organization and Steinbrenner to be exact. It is a great mix of two journalists from two different cities - where it's hard to be a fan when you're so close to the action and the players. I learn more about the effects of knowing too much in baseball.
A year of correspondence between a Red Sox columnist and a Yankees columnist during the season of the Red Sox world series win
Chapters alternate between a RedSox writer and a Yankee writer following the rivalry between the Yankees and RedSox. Its ok.
