THE Rivalry: New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox

Friday, September 14th 2012 by Jared Wickerham

The Yankees are fighting for first place and the Red Sox are trying to give their fans a show and end the season on a good note. Regardless of their records, it’s always a fun series to photograph. Here are my favorite images from this past three game series:

I successfully made the 13 hour drive to Boston from Pittsburgh with all of my belongings on a 17 foot U-Haul that was also towing my car. Phew! Glad that’s over with…

After spending a day in NYC filling out some paperwork to officially become a member of the Getty team and visiting with college friends and fellow photographers, Coty Tarr, Ashlee Gray, and Danielle Anderson, I took the Amtrak back to Boston to start my first assignment – Yankees vs Red Sox.

Arguably the biggest rivalry in sports, the same series in New York City was my first as an intern with Getty Images/Sport in 2009, so it was only fitting that it was also my first series as a staff photographer Getty. I had a blast covering two out of the four games in the series – Friday and Sunday. It was really great to spend some time and meet the local photographers but just as great to catch up with the shooters from New York City who I haven’t seen in a few years.

Here are some images of mine from my first series of many at the historical Fenway Park. I’m also quite proud to say that I am part of the Getty Images team and I hope to be here for quite some time!

Enjoy!
