And please note I don't know diddly squat about sports. Sure, I like watching them and going to games, but I don't really know the official stuff. I just know that the Red Sox and the Yankees are rivals.

?????
Would Bostonians and New Yorkers buy tickets just so they could BOO the HOME TEAM?????
Of course your question is ridiculous, but it raises the question of if a team would actually be sustainable by hatred rather than love. Fasinating thought.

Ok answer me this, not one week ago, MOST Red Sox and Angels fans were so stoked because they thought they had a chance at signing Teix. Saying that he would be such an upgrade for their team. Blah blah blah, the whole nine yards. Now, when the Yankees, miss the playoffs last year, need to get younger, fill 2 100 rbi guys in the lineup, and a huge void at 1B, you Yankees haters all have to get all pissy, bi.tc.hy and whine about it. The Yankees need to build another young solid core for the upcoming generation and decade. Now with Teixiera we're set for another 5 years, because lets be honest, Jeter, Posada, Mariano, Damon, Pettite(if the Yanks resign him), and Matsui are on the downslide of their careers and signing Teixeira and CC, and the key products in the yankees farm system, the Yankees will still be legitimate contenders in the playoffs for the next decade. The Red Sox(Lowrie, Beckett, Pedroia, Papelbon, Youk, Ellsbury, etc.) and Rays(Crawford, Upton, Longoria, Price, Garza, Kazmir) have a great young core, that the Yankees will need to compete against in the future so signing Teixeira was the right thing to do. And lets be thankful the Angels didn't sign him, because if we'd have face them in the playoffs, well, we all know the Angels have the Yankees number in the postseason Had this been the Angels or Red Sox, Nationals or Orioles signing Teixeira no one would've complained about the heavy spending so shut it Yankees haters, the Yankees have the money so they spend it. What do you want them to do sit on it?

So let me get this right. The Boston Yankees and New York Red Sox? Is that what we are going for here?
Are you NUTS!?!! The "Evil Empire" is the New York Yankees. George would NEVER move to Boston to own his Yankees.
Now on the flip side? Yeah, John Henry would happily do that. He might not like the new location for Red Sox Nation, but fans in NY are very much like fans in Boston. They LOVE their local team! So for John Henry, it would be a marketing dream!
Now back to reality. Yankees are going to have to start Roger Clemens everyday to win this year.
"Let's Go Red Sox!"

it would pretty much start a yankees fans vs. red sox fans brawl. the yanks fans would of course win and then just control both teams.

It would be like a soccer game with England vs France between the fans! There wouldn't be enough security to contain the chaos. It wouldn't even be safe to watch the game at a bar! Would you go?

You do have far too much time on your hands. And you've ignored the fact that MLB does not allow public ownership of any team. So, the teams are not and cannot ever be owned by the city.
MLB is NOT the NFL (Green Bay Packers) or the CFL (Saskatchewan Rough Riders). For that matter, the NFL really would like to see private ownership of the Packers.
Is that sufficiently serious for you?

That happened in a movie, right after George Steinbrenner told Mark Hamill that he was his father in Star Wars.

Babe Ruth and Ted Williams would both roll over in their graves. Well Ted would roll over in whatever they have him in now.
