Friday, July 4th, marks the only Red Sox/Yankees weekend series, this
season, at Yankee Stadium. Bill and the crew are heading back to the Evil Empire for
"Round 5" of their "Sox in
the Bronx" rivalry tour. That's right! This will be our
fifth trip to New York which we started back in May of 2005.
Our first trip consisted of four buses full of excited Red Sox fans, most of who had
never stepped inside historic Yankee Stadium. The Sox dropped the first game to the
Yankees on Friday night, with a score of six to three, but our dedicated Sox fans were
rewarded on Saturday with a seventeen to one blasting of the blue pin stripes. It was
the worst home beating of the Yankees, by the Red Sox, in this historic rivalry. We
celebrated that evening in the Big Apple to top off a great sports weekend. The Red
Sox closed out the series on Sunday, as we headed home, with a seven to two victory.
ROUND ONE...RED SOX!!!!
With a second weekend series scheduled on September 9th, of 2005, we tossed it out
there and Red Sox Nation responded with two more buses heading to the Evil Empire.
Friday night offered the same results with the Yankees winning eight to four. The
Sox rebounded on Saturday with a nine to two victory, followed by more celebrating
that evening in the city that never sleeps. The Yankees countered with a one to
nothing shutout in the rubber game on Sunday. A great time was had by all again
and we knew this trip would become a yearly favorite.
ROUND TWO...YANKEES!!!!
The MLB 2006 schedule limited us to just one weekend series in New York on September
15th. We jumped on it early and tallied five buses, including our very first Family
Bus, filled with kids of all ages heading to New York to see their beloved Red Sox
take on the Yankees in the house that Babe built. Although the Red Sox won three
out of four games this series, it was a bitter sweet feeling with a rain out on
Friday night and the injury plagued Red Sox way too far behind in points to gain
any ground on the division title.
A GOOD FIGHT BUT,...ROUND THREE...YANKEES!!!!
In 2007, the baseball gods again limited us to just one weekend series in the Evil
Empire. It was an early season knockout in April, with the Red Sox sweeping the
baffled Yanks in this three game series and cruised to the division title and World
Series Championship, without ever looking back on this once great foe.
ROUND FOUR....RED SOX!!!!
Would you like to be a part of ROUND FIVE?
This is your last chance to see the greatest rivalry in sports, at Yankee Stadium,
before they tear it down at seasons end. We are now taking deposits for this trip.
We depart Friday morning at 7:30 AM from the Maine Mall in South Portland. We return
by 6:30 PM on Sunday. Give us a call for more information at 787-3184 or fill out the
Request Form to reserve your spot to experience the "Sox in the Bronx". Every Red Sox
fan should witness this rivalry at least once in their life time! And what better
way to do it, then to celebrate Independence Day with Our Tickets and Tours, for
the Party Trip of the Year! We hope to see you there!
