Major League Baseball might be in the lockout, but the rivalry between teams is still very much alive, even off the field. When it comes to MLB, then the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox probably share the most fierce rivalry in baseball. And recently, the Yankees legend, CC Sabathia, did something that might trigger that bad blood and enrage Red Sox fans.

Notably, the Yankees and the Red Sox have been rivals in MLB for ages. Whenever and wherever fans of one get a chance to provoke the other, they never miss.

And the recent example of the same came from none other than former MLB player and New York Yankees legend, CC Sabathia.
