![<p>Dating back to 1901, this rivalry truly started when the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees for $125,000, sparking “The Curse of the Bambino.” From Bucky Dent to Aaron Boone, the Yankees historically had a leg up on the Red Sox — until the 2004 ALCS, when the Red Sox overcame a 3-0 series deficit to the Yankees on their way to winning their first World Series title since 1918, ending the "curse."

Jon Jones
As reported earlier this evening, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is wanted for questioning in a hit-and-run case.
Jones has now been upgraded to a suspect in the case.
Sources informed MMAjunkie that the victim in the incident is pregnant, although her name and the stage of pregnancy have not been released yet. Police went to Jones’ house and attempted to contact his lawyer but have yet to hear from the fighter.
The crime is classified as a misdemeanor, but one witness places Jones at the scene. Police are still currently looking to get Jones’ side of the story and no arrest warrant is planned to be issued at this time. A summons will be issued, however, and Jones will have four weeks to show in court. Should he fail to appear in court, a warrant will be issued for his arrest.
The accident took place in the early morning Sunday and was vehicle-to-vehicle.
The UFC released a statement this evening.
“We are aware that the Albuquerque Police Department is interested in speaking to Jon Jones regarding his possible involvement in a motor vehicle accident,” the statement read. “We are in the process of gathering facts and will reserve further comment until more information is available.”
Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) is currently scheduled to defend his title against Anthony Johnson (19-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in the main event of UFC 187. There has been no announced change in the status of the bout.
