So just because a sport is more popular than another and the tickets cost more makes the rivalry bigger, lmfao


Yes. More people who care about the rivalry = bigger. I'm not sure if you're just trolling or stupid?

No you idiot, you're telling me one rivalry is better than another ONLY because more people watch the sport.

When did I ever use the word better? Find me in my post where I ever used the word "better" or any other quality descriptor? It is BIGGER. You are arguing BETTER. You are a dumbass because I've already pointed out that's not what I'm saying.

I'm talking about better, because according to your logic, any soccer rivalry is better than any other sports rivalry just because more people watch it.

Then again, I am talking to a hockeyfag who thinks ticket prices determine the quality of a Rivalry LOL

Still waiting for you to point out when I ever said that. You're in over your head brosef, I'm talking strict numbers. You still haven't responded to my arguments, t4t.
Bigger money and more viewers = bigger rivalry.
Bigger =/= Better, just so you don't get confused for a third time (unless you're wondering why you don't have a girlfriend).

Clear enough for you?

funny that, cos ive never heard of any of these two rando made up entities

apart from that, theres the fact that no one outside america gives a flying fuck about bat sports so hailing it the 'biggest rivalry in all of sports' simply shows you are an utterly ignorant retarded mongo

now get the fuck back into your cupboard, scrub


Since people can't read....still....

When lakers/celtics top some of these, then they can take the #1 spot. Nothing comes close to the curse of bambino



I took 5 mins to pull some highlights....most are NOT specific games...


Number of meetings 2,076

-The Yankees – Red Sox rivalry is one of the oldest, most famous and fiercest rivalries in North American professional sports.
-Babe Ruth sold to Yankees
-Curse of the Bambino
-the rivalry intensified in 1941 when Ted Williams of the Red Sox bats .406, becoming the last player to bat over .400 in a season. Despite his historic accomplishment, Williams loses the AL MVP race to the Yankees' Joe DiMaggio, who has a record 56-game hitting streak.
-The tone for 2004 was set early when new Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, who confounded the Yankees in the 2001 World Series as an Arizona Diamondback, appeared at an ice hockey game in Boston wearing a "Yankee hater" hat.
-Roger Clemens
-Jonny Damon
-2004 ALCS: The curse is broken sox down 3 games to yanks....sox pull ahead and win 4 straight....
pril 3, 2005, was the date the Yankees and Red Sox faced each other for the first time since the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS and won the World Series.[89] The game took place at Yankee Stadium and the Yankees beat the Red Sox 9–2. However, Yankee fans started new taunts, saying "The Curse of 1918 is finally over (86 years). Let the new curse 2090 begin."[89][90] Just a week later, the Red Sox received their World Series rings at Fenway Park before they played the Yankees.[83][91] In a showing of class, respect, and good sportsmanship, all of the Yankees went to the top step of the dugout to applaud the Red Sox accomplishment.[92] During the announcement of the lineups, Red Sox fans reciprocated by giving Yankee closer Mariano Rivera (who had struggled against the Red Sox) a loud, standing ovation.[93] Despite their booing of Alex Rodriguez.[92] Rivera laughed and tipped his cap.[93] H

On April 13, 2008, rumors of a construction worker burying a Red Sox jersey in the concrete of the New Yankee Stadium were verified after anonymous tips led to the location of the jersey. The worker, identified as Gino Castignoli, had buried a David Ortiz jersey in what would become a service corridor in the hopes of cursing the new stadium. After extracting the jersey from underneath two feet of concrete, Yankees' President Randy Levine indicated that the shirt would be donated to the Jimmy Fund to be auctioned for the charity long associated with the Red Sox.[139]
