Fan Reactions Section?

I was wondering if there were notable things that fans have done to show the intensity of the rivalry. One such example I found: http://www.nj.com/yankees/index.ssf/2014/05/buck_foston_bar_wins_court_verdict_yankees_red_sox_fans_react.html 161.185.157.23 (talk) 18:53, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rename article

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Please note that the Google searches are two-faced, because some hits under each string are for the opposite order. Even so it appears that the Yankees are usually listed first for the hits in Google Books and when -wikipedia is used to exclude material copied from Wikipedia.

Yankees–Red Sox rivalry → Red Sox–Yankees rivalry – Alphabetical order of teams Sportsgamaniacre (talk) 16:57, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Seems reasonable. This would put the article in line with other rivalries such as Bears-Packers, Celtics-Lakers, and Dodgers-Giants. Calidum ^{Talk To Me} 17:04, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, and Boston comes first too Red Slash 05:02, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why is alphabetical automatically better? Shouldn't it be what the majority of reliable sources use? This has been discussed several times over the years and the current title has always been the consensus. See the archives. 72.251.70.59 (talk) 05:50, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Past discussion to use "Yankees–Red Sox" is at Talk:Yankees–Red_Sox_rivalry/Archive_5#Article_renamed.—Bagumba (talk) 22:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose WP:COMMONNAME advises to use the name commonly used by sources. The proposal to use an alphabetical order is purely arbitrary—an WP:ILIKEIT-type argument. A search of Google Books, as advised by WP:COMMONNAME, shows 1,240 hits for "yankees–red sox rivalry" and 667 hits for "red sox–yankees rivalry"—Bagumba (talk) 22:23, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Bagumba. Dwscomet (talk) 23:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2021 Wild Card

Why not include score of the 2021 wild card game? - 212.164.64.208 (talk) 14:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s standard practice to not include this because it is a single game and not a series of games. Including the score is very likely to confuse readers due to it being runs in an individual game rather than games in a series. Carson Wentz (talk) 19:08, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

However, the Cardinals–Dodgers rivalry page uses score 1-0. 212.164.64.208 (talk) 08:15, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
