Program Description

Event Details

Welcome to the most intense rivalry in American sports- maybe even the world! This fun program hosted by award-winning sportswriter, baseball beat writer and book author Marty Gitlin features videos of the biggest moments of the rivalry from well over a century, as well as trivia questions for patrons to ponder! From the sale of Babe Ruth in 1919 that launched the Yankees dynasty and Curse of the Bambino, to Joe DiMaggio vs. Ted Williams, to the Brawl of 1967, to Bucky Dent, to Munson vs. Fisk, to the Red Sox Revenge of 2004, all the way to today- this program is a blast! Marty will have his Ultimate New York Yankees Time Machine Book and Ultimate Boston Red Sox Time Machine Book for sale after the event. A Q&A session will follow. Be sure to join in!
