Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

EducatedBet…1950s?

The last time the New York Yankees scored this many runs against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, Mickey Mantle homered for New York and Ted Williams went deep for Boston.

Fifty-four years later, the Yankees and Red Sox played another game that had numbers on the scoreboard spinning by as fast as symbols on a slot machine. Long after Alex Rodriguez hit his 522nd home run to pass Williams and Willie McCovey for 15th place on the career list, Melky Cabrera’s tiebreaking groundout in a four-run fifth inning helped New York outlast Boston 15-9 Wednesday night in a glacially paced game that took 4 hours, 8 minutes.

The 15 runs were the most by New York against Boston in the Bronx since winning 17-9 on July 7, 1954, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The 24 runs combined were the most in a Red Sox-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium since New York’s 14-10 win on April 21, 1956…according to ESPN.com. This was a great game to watch and I am sure it was even better to be a part of. It was non stop action for like an inning and a half, it was pretty sweet.

And the cool thing is that it has not been done since the mid 50s…thats pretty bad a**! I usually dont like to talk about the the Soxs and the Yanks in April but it was such an exciting game I felt I had to. But this will be the last time that I talk about them until at least the summer or if they are playing each other and oen team throws a no hitter….or or or if the Rocket comes back and pitches for the Yanks and pegs every single Sox he faces! Those are the only two ways I will talk about these two teams again!
