Description

September 7, 1978. The defending World Series champion Yankees arrive in Boston for a 4-game series, not coincidentally trailing the Red Sox by 4 games. In what will be forever known in ⚾ lore as 'The Boston Massacre,' the Yanks sweep the series, crushing the Sox by scores of 15-3, 13-2, 7-0, and 7-4 to vault into a 1st place tie. The Bronx Bombers go on to repeat as W.S. champs and (at least for this fan and historian), the '78 season stands as the franchise's finest hour.
