As if this S-tier intro wasn't good enough from @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com, his next line after is my favorite of the entire piece and perfectly encapsulates what every baseball writer has been trying to express about Red Sox/Yankees for the past 30 years.
It’s very funny to think that the Boston-New York series of the past were grotesqueries, bloated four-hour contests packed with bloated, muscular hitters, a combination of sweat, money, and patriotism boiled into a soup.

(Hey, the fact that two teams have been sold in the last few months should tell you something about how serious owners are about breaking the union to get a cap. If they thought they were gonna win, they’d be waiting.)

Could a Banging Scheme Astros reunion tour squad could save a post-lockout season à la McGwire/Sosa? Sold-out crowds could mercilessly boo Altuve, Correa, Springer, et al while Manfred ships a batch of the juiciest balls for the home team to mash.
