The longstanding rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees doesn't just exist on the baseball field.
On Tuesday, the Red Sox Twitter account honored "The Steal" on the 13th anniversary of the incredible moment, which occurred during the 2004 American League Championship Series.

Unfortunately for the Red Sox, the Yankees Twitter account had a reply in hand.
Ah, work day for us. Game time is 5:08pm, if you're not busy.

The Yankees are still alive in the postseason, trailing the Houston Astros 2-1 in the ALCS, while the Red Sox were eliminated one round earlier.
