No team’s fans dislike the Yankees more than Red Sox fans.. For over a hundred years, the Yankees and the Red Sox have had the fiercest rivalry in sports.. Both clubs met three times in the play-off over the last few years.. The Yankees beat the Red Sox in the years of ’99 and ’03, but in 2004 the Red Sox finally got some revenge by beating the Yankees in 7 after being down 3-0..
