Story summary

The Red Sox were once seen as an inspiring comeback story after falling 14 games below the .500 mark during mid-season and firing their manager. However, since early August, they have struggled, posting a mere .500 record and failing to hit effectively in September. Now injured and underperforming, the Red Sox appear vulnerable as the season concludes. Meanwhile, the Yankees fanbase sees this situation as an opportunity to finally surpass their long-time rivals.
