No ’49, no ’78, Yankees/Red Sox Never Can Be The Same With The Wild Card Presence

I recall another Yankees at Boston 4 game series.Trust me at the time and sadly to this day, the results were highly negative to me.

However, worse than that is the fact the 4 game “at Boston” (Thursday-Sunday) Yankees/Red Sox series means so much less, due to the wild card presence.

The “referenced” 4 game series, Thursday-Sunday at Boston in early September, 1978 manifested in 4 easy Yankees’ wins, that moved the teams into a first place tie in a true race (no safety net/wild card) for a “one quarter” division.

Now barring the truly unforeseen, both teams will be in a 10 team baseball tournament.
