I was just looking at Derek Jeter's 2007 RBI, to date, when the score is tied, via Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index Batter Events for Jeter.  And, I noticed that three times this year Derek broke-up a tie score against the Sox, late in the game:

The 7th inning on June 2nd against Joel Pineiro
The 5th inning of August 28th against Daisuke Matsuzaka
The 8th inning of September 16th against Curt Schilling

Each time, it was a homer from Jeter that broke the tie.

This made me wonder: Since 1957, which Yankees SS have hit the most homers against the Red Sox? Thanks to B-R.com's PI Gamelog Finder, here's the answer:

Pretty soon, Jeter's going to need a fancy middle name in Boston - like the one that Red Sox Nation gave to Bucky Dent.
