The New Britain Public Library is featuring, “Red Sox-Yankees: The Greatest Rivalry in Sports,” saying, “This fun program hosted by award-winning sportswriter, baseball beat writer and book author Marty Gitlin.”

The Library says that the program, highlighting, “the most intense rivalry in American sports – maybe the world,” is to feature, “videos of the biggest moments of the rivalry from well over a century, as well as trivia questions for the patrons to ponder.”

“From the sale of Babe Ruth in 1919 that launched the Yankees dynasty and Curse of the Bambino to Joe DiMaggio vs. Ted Williams to the Brawl of 1967 to Bucky Dent to Munson vs. Fisk to the Red Sox Revenge of 2004 all the way to today – this program is a blast!” the Library says.

The event is to be Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 6:00pm in the Library Community Room.

The Library says that Gitlin, “will have his Ultimate New York Yankees Time Machine Book and Ultimate Boston Red Sox Time Machine Book for sale after the event. A Q&A will follow.”

“This one is a blast so join in!” the Library say.
