Why do the Yankees and The Red Sox are hated?

I'm just wandering why most MLB fans hate them. I'm a Yankee fan, but I don't really hate the Bosox, though. By the way, is there any other MLB team that hated as much as them?

    Well as for the Yankees, it's because they've spent a lot of money and had more success than any other team in professional sports. So they're like the enemy of anyone in the league or who is a fan of the league that isn't a Yankee fan.

    Red Sox have spent quite a bit too recently, so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe the Dodgers will share some of that hate in the coming years since they're about to surpass the Yankees for highest payroll in the league.

    because Yankee fans and Red Sox fans hate each other. the other team hated more than the Bosox are the Yankees.

    Because in 1919, the successful Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees for 100,000 dollars. The Yankees went off to win a bunch of World Series and the Red Sox didn't win another World Series for 86 years.
