Schilling closes season set with Yanks
On Sunday at Fenway Park, fans will witness a pitching matchup so steeped in the tradition of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry that the stuff might as well be oozing through Gates A-D onto Landsdowne Street and Yawkey Way.
It's a formula part toxic and wholly beguiling: Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling, nemeses of the Red Sox and Yankees, facing each other from each side of the Boston-New York axis for the first time.
They are 45 and 40 years old, respectively. Yankees manager Joe Torre recalls catching Warren Spahn, who was a 42-year-old winner of 23 games in 1963. This is something else.
"That was remarkable," Torre said. "But he wasn't a power pitcher, and these guys are basically still power pitchers."
