THE BOSTON MASSACRE

During the stretch of September 7-10, 1978, the famed "Boston Massacre" occurred at Fenway Park. The first-place Boston Red Soc entered the four-game series against the second-day New York Yankees with a four-game lead in the AL East, down from 14 games just 7 weeks earlier.

The Yankees would beat the Red Sox by scores of 15-4, 13-2, 7-0, and 7-4. The Yankees would outscore the Red Sox 43 to 9 during the four-game sweep and find  themselves atop the division for the first time all season.
