Win has Sox singin’ Sinatra

Start spreading the booze.

The Red Sox are leaving today with an ALDS Series victory, and they are not going without taking a parting shot at the Yankees.

As if it wasn’t enough that Boston celebrated on the field in the Bronx in front of stunned Yankee fans (for the second time in a month, mind you), those age-old arch-rivals had to rub it in further by blasting “New York, New York” while they popped bubbly in the clubhouse.

This was, of course, a response to Aaron Judge playing the signature Frank Sinatra song out of his speakers while he walked past the home clubhouse on the way to the bus. That ribbing from the Red Sox came after Judge and the Yankees had slugged their way to a Game 2 victory at Fenway Park, seemingly grabbing all the momentum from Boston’s grasp.

But after two shocking victories in the Bronx, the Red Sox quickly climbed back to the top of the heap. Players in the clubhouse sang the lyrics while celebrating their division series win, the team’s first since 2013, when they went on to win the World Series.

Since Judge walked out of Fenway Park playing the song, the Red Sox scored 20 runs to the Yankees’ four.

After Judge’s stunt at Fenway, the managers of both teams played it off as some harmless ribbing, though nothing is ever truly harmless when it comes to the Red Sox and Yankees.

Though Alex Cora didn’t take it as an affront on Saturday, instead choosing to praise the way Judge plays the game, clearly his players did not forget.

Aaron Boone was also asked how he would feel if the Red Sox played “Sweet Caroline” after a victory at the Stadium.

“I like that song too, actually. So whatever,” Boone said.
