Upcoming Wild Card Series: Red Sox And Yankees Face Off

Are you ready Connecticut? Yet again we find ourselves divided basically right down the middle by of another Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees baseball playoff.

The 2025 American League Wild Card series kicks off this afternoon with Detroit and Cleveland at 1PM, but the game that the entire world wants and needs to see happens tonight at 6:08PM when the Boston Red Sox make the short ride along the Mass Pike to 84 to the Cross Bronx expressway to Yankee Stadium. Connecticut is yet again the middle ground between these two storied franchises as they compete against each other yet again for baseball's crown.

Fan allegiance in Connecticut has shifted a few times over the past 25 years, during the mid-90's you would be heckled West of I-91 if you wore anything other than pinstripes. After 2004, Red Sox gear started to show up in the gray area of Connecticut between I-91 and Rt. 8, I started seeing more Sox hats in Bristol, Meriden, and even Waterbury.

The past 20 years, since 2004, you may even find a few Red Sox fans proudly wearing their gear in Southbury, Danbury, and Torrington. Fairfield County is still and will always be Yankee territory, I believe that you are not allowed to even mention David Ortiz in Westport without a permit?

The good thing about this year's Wild Card format is that all three games are being held at Yankee Stadium, so the battle of 25 should be epic for either. Governor Lamont should put up the naming rights for I-84 to the winner, wouldn't you like to see the Aaron Judge corridor in New Britain?
