Red Sox vs. Yankees: The Ultimate Rivalry (Region 1 Import DVD)

The most intense rivalry in all of sports is the focus of this in-depth program, which explores the storied history of both clubs--from the Yankees' fateful acquisition of the Sox's Babe Ruth to Bucky "Bleeping" Dent's famous blast in 1978. Special focus is placed on the 2003 and 2004 seasons, which each ended with the Yanks and Sox facing off in a thrilling seven-game American League Championship Series. 2003 featured a memorable brawl that resulted in Sox ace Pedro Martinez throwing then-72-year-old Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer to the ground, followed by an incredibly dramatic extra-innings Yankee victory in the instant-classic Game 7. The following year, of course, saw perhaps the most remarkable comeback in all of baseball history, as the scrappy "idiot" Sox clawed their way back from a three-games-to-none deficit to win the series and, eventually, break the infamous "Curse of the Bambino." Rare footage and exclusive player interviews are included here, and fans of both clubs will be relieved to learn that viewers can decide for themselves whether to listen to narration from Red Sox manager Terry Francona or Yankees skipper Joe Torre.
