Top 10 Moments Of The New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox Rivalry
1. Aaron Boone Sends The Yankees To The Fall Classic
After the Yankees managed to come back down 5-2 in game seven of the 2003 ALCS of Pedro Martinez, the ballgame carried itself into extras.
In the bottom of the 11th inning, Aaron Boone stepped up to the plate and took a Tim Wakefield knuckle-ball into the seats in left on the very first pitch to clinch the pennant for the New York Yankees.
