While discussing what interested him in Boston, Suarez said that his earliest memories of the game often involved matchups against the Yankees, questioning why fans were mostly Yankees fans, not Red Sox fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a kid and we would watch baseball, what would be on was Red Sox-Yankees,\u201d Saurez said<\/a>, per NESN. \u201cI asked, \u2018Why is no one going for Boston?\u2019 and that is where the interest started\u2026 Babe Ruth pitched here and played here, and you hear about Pedro Martinez and David Ortiz and all of the legends that have come through here, and that\u2019s what really captivated me about this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yankees fans might not want to hear it, but times have changed a bit. Throughout a lot of Suarez\u2019s lifetime, the Red Sox have been the better team.<\/p>\n

For a pitcher who spent years facing the Red Sox as an opponent, he\u2019ll have a chance to help them out now in a massive way.<\/p>\n

The Yankees connection made the moment even more fitting, as it\u2019s always good to hear a Red Sox player who wants to take down the Yankees.<\/p>\n
