NEW YORK – It was strange to see the Boston Red Sox start their three rounds of the American League East, behind the mound of Yankee Stadium …
With New York, New York at the bottom of the audio system …
With a few thousand Red Sox fans, who cheered and sang so loud that Sinatra's voice seemed almost drowned.
The Yankees will also play in the playoffs – they are about to win one of the AL Wild Cards – but they really wanted to be division champions for the first time since 2012.
The Yanks had a very good regular season – they have a record of 93-59, they are third in the majors – but they could not follow the Red Sox, who won 17 of their first 19 en route to win 104 games to nine to go there.
Here's what some Red Sox players had to say about their trip: Yankee Stadium and the Yankees:

Conquering the East AL"We have not played our best baseball in recent weeks, but we have always been out and played hard every day, and when you do that, you are well positioned to win and things like that happen.
Not having reached the World Series the last two seasons after having been champions of the division: "The last two years have been a bitter taste and we want more. Our goal is to win the World Series and that's the first step.
At the best time of the season: "I think the Yankees season, where we swept four games (at Fenway Park), put us in the mood that we could run away with that. It's a fun course since then.
During the tests at Yankee Stadium: "No matter where we were, it will be a fun time. It's happened here. And to be honest, the Yankees are a very good team and they had a great season. It's probably the toughest division of baseball, so winning is pretty special. "
Red Sox fans take Yankee Stadium after the match: "They stayed all night. Once (Giancarlo) Stanton hit this grand slam (to place the Yankees at 6-4 in the fourth inning), it would have been easy to fold and pack. pressure on their pitchers, so it was a good win. "
On the Yankees unable to follow the Red Sox in East AL:Everyone knew we had a good team and what we were capable of. We are delighted to resume before the last series (Yankees-Red Sox) next weekend. "

During the tests at Yankee Stadium: "At the beginning of the year, we knew we were going to be two at the top. I just think we played well against the guys we're supposed to play. Clinching in New York is fun. We are happy to have managed to do it and do it here, but we understand that we have a lot of baseball to play. "
Red Sox fans take Yankee Stadium after the match: "It was great, it's a long season, obviously it's only one game, but we won a lot of games this year and we put ourselves in this situation, and right now we let's celebrate all the hard work we've done, but we still have a lot of things to do. "
Maybe play the Yankees in a division series"There is a possibility, it looks like it will be New York and Oakland for the Wild Card, so we'll see what happens.
