Reds vs Yankees
Definition
A frequent interleague matchup in Major League Baseball (MLB) between the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees.
A historical reference point denoting the stark contrast between a mid-market team with deep historic roots and the perennial big-budget, high-stakes atmosphere of the Bronx Bombers.
Examples
Watching the Reds vs Yankees is like watching a vintage sedan try to out-accelerate a private jet that's already halfway to the World Series, regardless of what happened back in 1919.
The tension during Reds vs Yankees is palpable, mainly because one side is worried about the salary cap and the other is worried about which monument to add to their park next.
If you think Reds vs Yankees carries historical baggage, just remember the 1919 Reds didn't need a gambler to beat the White Sox, but they certainly needed a lot of luck to handle the modern Bronx pinstripes.
