I was at this game. Someone at work gave their ticket away. No one wanted it because the Sox were down 0-3. I had faith and took the ticket. Best night of my life.😊
I was also at the last game of the season at Camden Yards where they played the Orioles. Before the game I went to the Babe Ruth’s birthplace which they turned into a small museum. I did a spontaneous curse reversal dance in the room where Babe Ruth was born sort of as a joke. People gave me strange looks but who’s laughing now 😆🙋♀️.
This game will always be special in my family. When I was born, I was really sick. My parents weren’t sure if I would even live. But after a lot of surgeries, my parents could finally take me home. On the way home, my dad was listening to this game on the radio in his truck. When they won, he pumped his fist out the window. This gave him something to be happy about in a stressful time in his life.
My dad took me to this game when we were looking at colleges. At the time felt "I've always wanted to see a Red Sox Yankees ALCS game, too bad this one doesn't matter as a 3-0 series"
Well, the Yankees had just two starters and two relievers who were still good by the end of the season. Rivera was affected by a family tragedy. The best offense vs bad pitching. It was the perfect situation.
Being a diehard Red Sox fan since the 1970’s and having suffered many heartbreaks at their hands, when I watch reruns of this game I half expect them to blow it. And I was AT the game! 😆
The greatest series ever. If a Hollywood scriptwriter came up with this nonsense they'd have been laughed out of the room. 96 hrs of pure white knuckle drama. Baseball at its very best
I remember being 18 coming off the heartbreak of 2003 watching this game by myself in my parents living room cause everyone in my family had given up on them. I woke the entire house up when Ortiz walked off. I still love the Sox and I don't know if it's because I was young or because we broke the curse or how intense this rivalry was but I don't think baseball will ever feel this magical again.
@@ethanniedorowski116 I think the Roberts steal is overrated. Runner on 2nd no outs is still a jam Rivera has gotten out of many times. There have been many times a leadoff walk has turned into a steal of second for the home team down 1 in the 9th and it isn't a guarantee of anything. Bill Mueller getting the single to drive him in was really what solidified the comeback and tied the game. If Mo had struck him out then it's runner on 2nd 1 out and maybe he never comes around to score. But Mueller was a tough out for Rivera and I give him credit. I feel like it was part of this nebulous thing like it made the Boston fans believe. But I don't think that should have been enough, they were still so very deep in the hole. But actually tying the game up with Mueller's hit? Ok I could see that. But what I really remember was when Ortiz hit the HR in the 12th and I watched the energy the Red Sox had with how they mobbed him at home plate, it created a little uneasiness in me. I still didn't see how it was remotely possible that Boston could come back and win the series, but they sure seemed to think they could. And that was a powerful squad over there, and if they really believed that they were still in it, and that 'nobody believes in us but us' attitude, then that was dangerous.
The walk the steal the hit .. The walk offs it was all amazing 👏 But you sir are a moron if u don't understand what the steal ment. Stealing back the game Everyone in the house knew what was about to happen an he stole the biggest bag of history. Billy's hit Also huge but totally different.. Ask anyone how hard a stolen base is... sn when they know you need to go. Throw overs pitch outs man I'm sorry but Dave Robert's changed the whole game go look back an see everyone an they looks on thr faces he took the soul from that test in 3.2 seconds an 99 feet
@card. Ok so if he's out at 2nd I can see what you mean. Mueller singles, runner on 1st, 1 out. Not a huge threat for Mo. But if he does not attempt to steal second, Mueller singles Roberts to either second or with his speed, likely to third, still nobody out. I think in this scenario there's a great chance somebody scores him with a sac fly or a cheap hit or something. So I don't necessarily think they needed that steal. I think Rivera in trying to pick him off 3 diff times was sufficiently distracted by Roberts while pitching to Mueller (who of course also had the HR off him in July) so he was getting that single whether the runner was at first or second.
@card. I love Bernie but I never felt like he had a big arm. You'll notice on Mueller's single, Bernie throws home and Rivera cuts it off because Bernie's throw just doesn't have any life on it and has no chance to get Roberts at home. So I don't think he would have gotten Roberts at third either. It is an easier throw but I think Roberts has after burners and Bernie never had a rocket arm. He was a great defender because of his ability to get to balls and cover ground, not cause of his throwing arm.
It was game 7. I was at my dads because it was a Wednesday. And I remember watching the last game. And seeing Damon hit a grand slam and a 3 run homerun . My dad said, oh it’s over. Sox got it in the bag. Good times
@Sherman Ng Honestly, as much as google/youtube suck, it is still amazing the amount of content it has. It's like an archive of humanity for the last few decades.
It’s one game away from being repeated by the Celtics. Down 0-3 and playing Game 7 tonight. And thirteen years ago, the Bruins were on the WRONG end of a series in which o e team came back from down 0-3. Those days will love forever. October 17-20, 2004, and May 7-14, 2010, for equal and opposite reasons. Hoping I can say the same about May 23-29, 2023.
@@voltingmaster5458 it wasn’t as it turned out. That’s a lot because Jaylen Brown turned into Jaylen Clown with 8 TOs. The lack of desire to shoot twos didn’t help.
Thank you so much, MLB Vault! When this series was going on I was working swing shift and forced to listen to audio only. I’m finally watching this through in its entirety for the first time, because of you. Fun fact. When the Patriots were playing the Panthers in the Super Bowl in 2004 I was at the Palms casino watching it. Derek Jeter walked right by me. I said, “Go Red Sox.” He said! “Excuse me?” “Go Red Sox,” I say. He replies, “Ya they need help.” Lol. We got the last laugh! Jeter! Haha. Unreal series!
I've never had as much respect for a player as I have for Dave Roberts. Without him the Red Sox would have NEVER won this game. Just take a minute to think about that. He was close to getting picked off at one point, he was extremely close to getting thrown out on his steal, but he didn't. He fucking did it. He was so fast that if it was anyone else on that team they would have gotten thrown out for sure. And let's not forget that Terry Francona made the choice to use him as a pinch runner. Genius move by an amazing coach who knew, in that moment, that they had nothing to lose and everything to gain. In 2004 almost every single player and coach on the Boston Red Sox served a purpose and was a part of them winning it all. It's baseball's version of the 1980 US hockey team. Faced with impossible odds, but they did it.
@@dukedematteo1995 I couldnt believe that in the moment, it was kinda surreal bc that stuff didnt happen to the Sox. These are a couple of goofy scenarios I thought about: if Clark was a lefthanded first baseman Roberts would have gotten picked on the 3rd throw over, I also thought that Olerud being out the lineup was huge, nixons catch in game 5, i can go on and on, all kinds of different moments, 2003 and 2004 were were the pinnacle of the rivalry, at least thats what thought but I was only 22 way back then lol
@@brmillgr Yes, the 2 nail biters in Fenway in 2004 are both classics at this point, and the Pedro/Zimmer game and Game 7 2003 were the pinnacle of the rivalry. In season 2005 was pretty cool too. Last weekend, 3 teams, 2 spots open and the Yankees & Sox are playing in Fenway. I thought we were gonna have Round 3 in 2007 as well. Would have been interesting, the Yankees matched up well with the Sox all righty staff that year.
This was the good guys beating the bad guys. The outcasts beating the jocks The nerds beating the popular kids The f**king UNDERDOGS. Almost 20 years later, and I watch these games as if I’m 10 years old again on the edge of my seat. Think about it, these games 4-7 were the biggest nail biters I will NEVER forget this post season
@@JTmakesfunofdiabled-hs9kh exactly it. The tying run I think was a Big Papi HR, we saw it as we were walking up the stairs to the Prudential Center Mall on our way to the parking garage
I remember being REALLY nervous about this game. They just got spanked 19-8 and no team in the history of the game had ever come back from an 0-3 deficit. But then, the magic happened. SOX NATION!
2:47:45 The clock strikes midnight at the beginning of the bottom of the night, separating the Yankees half of the series from the Sox half of the series...
2018 ALDS, I didn't feel that the rivalry was all the way back. 2003 and 2004 was as good as it got, both 7 Game series. As a Red Sox fan, 2003 took a long time to get over with, but 2004 was the absolute best, because it was payback for 2003, 1978 and 1949.
The rivalry will never be the same because baseball will never be the same. There was a lot of heart in players back then. There's almost none now. Today it's all about the money. Players are getting traded left and right, and it's very rare that a great player stays with a team. Even pitchers today are so up and down. There aren't any greats like back then like Pedro or Clemens who were always great, not just sometimes like 99% of today's players. In order for There to be such a strong rivalry between teams and fans alike, there has to be passion and heart in the game and in the fans. There's almost none anymore. Hell, I don't even watch baseball anymore and I was probably one of the biggest Sox fans ever back then.
@@Aaron_Scissorhands so true, and things have changed, because the Red Sox are 8-1, in the last 9 playoff games, against the yankees. Red Sox beat them in playin game. Still am proud of 2004, 2018 and 2021.
You mean kinda like the Red Sox choked harder game 6 in 86? They were up by TWO RUNS in the 10th inning and choked harder than the Yankees ever did. Losing a game with a 1 run cushion isn't nearly as bad as losing a 2 run cushion in extra innings due to a fielding error AND a wild pitch.
@@inquizition9672 worst Collapse in the history of the rivalry. Biggest choke in sports history, and as a Red Sox fan, still love it. It was complete payback, for what they did to us.
If Posada’s throw is on the first base side of second Roberts is out and it’s a sweep. That’s why baseball is the greatest game ever. Inches can lead to history !!!
More than the Mets one strike away, no one on down two? Schiraldi and Stanley. More than the Sox 1986 LCS, one strike away down 3? Baylor and Hendu. More than the Cards in 2011 down to their last strike twice in the 9th and 10th? More than the 95 Angels blowing a 7 game lead with less than 2 weeks? More than the Braves up 6 -0 in Game 4, at home, with Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine on deck? More than the Mets blowing a massive division lead in 2007? If you want to say the historical circumstances make this the worst choke/best comeback then fine, but mathematically there were far worse chokes. It's not like the Yanks blew a 5 run lead in any of these games....it was two back and forth nailbiters, a somewhat close loss, and a blow out. Or the worse choke in terms of series lead, then fine. Would it really have been that different if the Yankees won Game 4 but lost Game 3 and the Sox came back? No This was a knock down drag out fight to the death btw 2 sorta equal stacked teams like the year before. And the Sox came out on top this year.
A lot of people don't remember that Sheffield (first year}stated at the being of the year '" As Long I'm here the Red Sox will never win the World Series"
If you fast forward a bit it gets better. I'm watching the steal right now and it's perfectly synched. Sound was fine for me in the third inning until now
When he steals the base you could just feel the tide turning. When does a stolen base get that reaction we were desperate lol. David Ortiz most clutch playoff hitter of ALL TIME
@@MANIIAKYTB I mean it would have been harder on the Blues considering they were in last place in the league and hockey plays half the games MLB plays.
Bill Mueller was the unsung hero of this series. Slapping a single back up the middle when you are down to your final three outs, against the greatest relief pitcher of all time, was a nearly impossible task but he pulled it off.
I wasn't alive when this happened, but watching the four days in october documentary and now this really makes you feel like you're in the moment. P.S. that sequence of them trying to get Roberts out still has me on the edge of my seat.
Holy shit seriously. It's kinda sad people just remember the steal, the hit and the walkoff. People are more biased towards the offense when it comes to baseball.
Only series in the big four to have a team be down 3-0 and comeback to win! And I’m a Yankees fan and this was the peak! What a shame for the Yankees, AMAZING job by the Red Sox and it’s city of boston
@2:51:35. Every time I watch the Dave Roberts steal... Posada's near-perfect throw gets closer every time. But he's absolutely safe. Just got the hand on the bag ahead of Jeter's tag.
Whenever I think its over in a baseball game, I think of the ALCS Game 4 Red Sox walkoff W and remind myself that, for better or worse, ANYTHING is possible in baseball. ⚾️
Much as I'm grateful to MLB Vault for making games available on youtube, I hate their giving away the outcomes in the text underneath the video. Some people actually haven't seen stuff and would enjoy the suspense of not knowing and only finding out at the end of the game who actually won. Please, MLB Vault, give us spoiler-free games!!!
I remember when the Red Sox won this game thinking they had a chance and as a Yankee fan I was so mad how people thought the series was over when the Sox went down 0-3 !
It's amazing! Lowe wasn't that great that season by ERA standards, but his FIP was not terrible, which is the better metric. He was just incredibly unlucky, probably because of the defense behind him. After the Nomar trade, it probably helped him a lot.
That stolen base turned the whole tide of the series, Rivera was shook and it echoed through the rest of the Yankees. Will never be a comeback as great as this
Did they change the video quality on these games?. Looks like a present day hi def game. I watch Game 7 2001 World Series not long ago and it looked like it was from the 80's.
When the Red Sox won Game 4 I was like “yeah that team for us to sweep them”. When Red Sox won Game 5 I started getting a little nervous but with Games 6 @ Yankee Stadium we felt it was a must-win game even though we weren’t facing elimination. When we lost game 6 I think we all knew Red Sox were going to complete the comeback and ya sure did 😢
Wasn't too worried after Game 4. My asshole started to pucker up in game 5 after Clark's ground rule double bc the pitching matchups in Game 6 and 7 totally favored the RedSox. Once the Sox got ahead in Game 6, and Schlilling was rolling, I was really in freakout mode.
@@dukedematteo1995 But honestly the Yankees were not that good to win 4 in a row and the Red Sox were not that bad to lose 4 in a row so you knew at the start of the series it would probably be 2-2 after 4. No shock that the Red Sox won the series, just in the fashion they did it. Joe Torre even admitted the Sox could win the series, but not how it happened.
Worst loss in Franchise history. I hated every moment of watching this again especially since i was a teen when it happened and probably wasn't watching it fully back then
The most improbable comeback..the one all other comebacks are measured against..I don't care for either of these teams as an O's fan but I always tell my son, no matter how far behind your team is in a series, game or the season, remember the '04 Red Sox because they are proof that about face, 180 degree comebacks CAN HAPPEN
I was in bootcamp during this my drill sergeant said Yankees are up 3-0 I laughed and said good another pennant then we went in the field for a week no tv no radio when we got back he told me lost the series I said ya good joke didn’t believe him for a while …whatever shit happens
Mt name's George Nemitz. All of my favorite baseball teams are from Milwaukee Brewers to Boston Red Sox, American and National Leagues All my favorites . I hope that's enough.
For most of this game you could see the faces of defeat in Red Sox staff and fans. Who would have thought they would come back to win 4 when the morale was so low…
Went to this game and game 5. Mybuddy didnt want to go to the games any more. Didn’t pay for the two tickets for each game. Really thought they’d lose game five. But then they won it, I knew they were gonna shame New York! 😅😅
I was at this game. Someone at work gave their ticket away. No one wanted it because the Sox were down 0-3. I had faith and took the ticket. Best night of my life.😊
Where were your seats for the game?
Mitchell Wagoner ...The seats were in the grandstand behind first base but close to the field.
I was also at the last game of the season at Camden Yards where they played the Orioles. Before the game I went to the Babe Ruth’s birthplace which they turned into a small museum. I did a spontaneous curse reversal dance in the room where Babe Ruth was born sort of as a joke. People gave me strange looks but who’s laughing now 😆🙋♀️.

You mean kinda like the Red Sox choked harder game 6 in 86? They were up by TWO RUNS in the 10th inning and choked harder than the Yankees ever did. Losing a game with a 1 run cushion isn't nearly as bad as losing a 2 run cushion in extra innings due to a fielding error AND a wild pitch.
@@inquizition9672 Well, then how about losing 4 GAMES IN A ROW with a 3-0 LEAD. Now THAT's a MAJOR CHOKE.
@@inquizition9672 worst Collapse in the history of the rivalry. Biggest choke in sports history, and as a Red Sox fan, still love it. It was complete payback, for what they did to us.
If Posada’s throw is on the first base side of second Roberts is out and it’s a sweep. That’s why baseball is the greatest game ever. Inches can lead to history !!!
3:53:17 Manny had one of the smoothest right-handed swings of all time... Example
start of the greatest comeback in mlb and maybe sports history
More than the Mets one strike away, no one on down two? Schiraldi and Stanley.
More than the Sox 1986 LCS, one strike away down 3? Baylor and Hendu.
More than the Cards in 2011 down to their last strike twice in the 9th and 10th?
More than the 95 Angels blowing a 7 game lead with less than 2 weeks?
More than the Braves up 6 -0 in Game 4, at home, with Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine on deck?
More than the Mets blowing a massive division lead in 2007?
If you want to say the historical circumstances make this the worst choke/best comeback then fine, but mathematically there were far worse chokes. It's not like the Yanks blew a 5 run lead in any of these games....it was two back and forth nailbiters, a somewhat close loss, and a blow out. Or the worse choke in terms of series lead, then fine.
Would it really have been that different if the Yankees won Game 4 but lost Game 3 and the Sox came back? No
This was a knock down drag out fight to the death btw 2 sorta equal stacked teams like the year before. And the Sox came out on top this year.
@@dukedematteo1995 oh brother
@@dukedematteo1995Yes
@vincent2053 show me in mathematically terms how a 6% chance is worse than less than 1%?
I remember I Watched this on tv back in England, it was incredible
After this series, I began studying time travel, and am nearly done with my very own Time Machine.
Put it all on Red 34!!!
Lmao Stankee fans are special that’s for sure 🤣🤣💀
A lot of people don't remember that Sheffield (first year}stated at the being of the year '" As Long I'm here the Red Sox will never win the World Series"
I miss that old playoff music theme
This is unwatchable since the damn sound is off by like A LOT after the first inning
If you fast forward a bit it gets better. I'm watching the steal right now and it's perfectly synched. Sound was fine for me in the third inning until now
@MANCHESTER UNITED England has been irrelevant since 1776
MANCHESTER UNITED nobody cares
Must be your device or connection. I’ve been watching the whole game (11th inning now) and no issues with audio delay.
MANCHESTER UNITED ok
When he steals the base you could just feel the tide turning. When does a stolen base get that reaction we were desperate lol. David Ortiz most clutch playoff hitter of ALL TIME
Did not get the chance to actually see the game. Thanks for making it available.The game that turned it around for Boston.
I was a Red Sox fan, living on 161st street near Yankee Stadium. It was the sweetest thing ever, specially after what happened in 03.
Man Leskanic clutched up in the 11th
And the 12th
That was a badass steal by Roberts
In my opinion that was the biggest play of the whole series. If he doesn’t steal second base, they’re going home.
Biggest steal in postseason history
The start of the greatest comeback in sports history!
Until the 2019 St. Louis Blues
@@wrydstepbr0_0 they didn't come back from 3-0, not the greatest.
@@rallyrobb943 the Red Sox didn't come back from being in last place with 3 months left of the season to being world champions.
Silver Rally Robb easier to make the playoffs in the NHL tho
@@MANIIAKYTB I mean it would have been harder on the Blues considering they were in last place in the league and hockey plays half the games MLB plays.
This game was such a nail bitter I didn’t need to clip my nails until the parade was over by a week. Go Sox!!
Roberts flying around third still gives me goosebumps.
Patriots beat Seattle 30-20.to move to 5-0 this same day. Boston sports , a great time to be alive
Bill Mueller was the unsung hero of this series. Slapping a single back up the middle when you are down to your final three outs, against the greatest relief pitcher of all time, was a nearly impossible task but he pulled it off.
I wasn't alive when this happened, but watching the four days in october documentary and now this really makes you feel like you're in the moment.
P.S. that sequence of them trying to get Roberts out still has me on the edge of my seat.
3:26:43
That play NEVER gets brought up and it makes no sense why it doesn't
You’re right! That catch was HUGE! Saved at least one run from scoring!
@@bibber123 The next 2 batters would walk before Curtis Leskanic got Bernie Williams on a popup to center. Yuge.
Holy shit seriously. It's kinda sad people just remember the steal, the hit and the walkoff. People are more biased towards the offense when it comes to baseball.
@@jethrojacinto2798 Considering ALLLLLLLLLLLL the coverage regarding Garciaparra being traded....you would think that wouldn't go so unnoticed
Only series in the big four to have a team be down 3-0 and comeback to win! And I’m a Yankees fan and this was the peak! What a shame for the Yankees, AMAZING job by the Red Sox and it’s city of boston
Not true. The NHL has had 5 instances of teams being down 3-0 and comeback to win the series
@2:51:35. Every time I watch the Dave Roberts steal... Posada's near-perfect throw gets closer every time. But he's absolutely safe. Just got the hand on the bag ahead of Jeter's tag.
4 hours and no commercials!
Saddest moments as a Yankees fan.
2:51:33 Roberts is going...
Posada's throw, Roberts... Safe!
The audio breaks for a couple batters in the bottom of the first, skip to 12:07 it's fixed by then
without nomar, finally they won a world series. but i couldn’t feel happy fully..
This game happened on the EXACT DAY I was born.

Oh my God, I’m old.
the start or the end of the game?

@@moonscar119 Severely underrated comment
1:23:36 - Ortiz gets an RBI single
3:55:28 - David Ortiz hits a walk-off home run
Derek Lowe starting both games 4 and 7 is insane..How much more pressure you need
I’m watching it tonight YES YES YES
shoutout cameraman closing the game with a zoom in of "Red sox win!'
3:55:19…..I didn’t realize The Undertaker was there.
Find us game 6. The most bizarre, nail-biting playoff game I've ever seen.
Whenever I think its over in a baseball game, I think of the ALCS Game 4 Red Sox walkoff W and remind myself that, for better or worse, ANYTHING is possible in baseball. ⚾️
thanks for posting...awesome channel..thanks
MLB Vault coming through in the clutch!
I know Game 5 was uploaded almost a decade ago but is there a chance we can get Game 6 and/or Game 7?
Much as I'm grateful to MLB Vault for making games available on youtube, I hate their giving away the outcomes in the text underneath the video. Some people actually haven't seen stuff and would enjoy the suspense of not knowing and only finding out at the end of the game who actually won. Please, MLB Vault, give us spoiler-free games!!!
Why would anybody be checking out a game from 18 years ago? Answer: Because they know how it ends.
Darth Vader is Luke’s dad.
The beginning of the greatest reverse sweep!
2022 lo recuerdo como hoy
I remember when the Red Sox won this game thinking they had a chance and as a Yankee fan I was so mad how people thought the series was over when the Sox went down 0-3 !
2:53 "up the middle " chills
Love that the fans are chanting their 5+ ERA borderline starter's name by the second batter. Down 3-0 to the devil they still had faith
It's amazing! Lowe wasn't that great that season by ERA standards, but his FIP was not terrible, which is the better metric. He was just incredibly unlucky, probably because of the defense behind him. After the Nomar trade, it probably helped him a lot.
That stolen base turned the whole tide of the series, Rivera was shook and it echoed through the rest of the Yankees. Will never be a comeback as great as this
Did they change the video quality on these games?. Looks like a present day hi def game.
I watch Game 7 2001 World Series not long ago and it looked like it was from the 80's.
20 years ago and still feels like yesterday. Unbelievable Sox came back down 0-3 to win it all and Beat Cardinals in World Series
3:12:03 the guy is wearing a Sox shirt and a Yankees hat
Smart move
Oh man you can’t unseen that . I thought it was the famous YH hat=Yankee hater hat. But he’s wearing a sox jacket
What were Yankee fans thinking when Roberts stole second base? What were they thinking when Ortiz walked it off?
When the Red Sox won Game 4 I was like “yeah that team for us to sweep them”. When Red Sox won Game 5 I started getting a little nervous but with Games 6 @ Yankee Stadium we felt it was a must-win game even though we weren’t facing elimination. When we lost game 6 I think we all knew Red Sox were going to complete the comeback and ya sure did 😢
@@cnivar1027 I have a lot of respect for you for saying that.
I didn’t think much of game 4, but game 5 really hurt. We didn’t match up pitcher wise well after game 5 so I figured we were in trouble after that.
Wasn't too worried after Game 4. My asshole started to pucker up in game 5 after Clark's ground rule double bc the pitching matchups in Game 6 and 7 totally favored the RedSox.
Once the Sox got ahead in Game 6, and Schlilling was rolling, I was really in freakout mode.
@@dukedematteo1995 But honestly the Yankees were not that good to win 4 in a row and the Red Sox were not that bad to lose 4 in a row so you knew at the start of the series it would probably be 2-2 after 4. No shock that the Red Sox won the series, just in the fashion they did it. Joe Torre even admitted the Sox could win the series, but not how it happened.
Wow that was the good old days.
Worst loss in Franchise history. I hated every moment of watching this again especially since i was a teen when it happened and probably wasn't watching it fully back then
The most improbable comeback..the one all other comebacks are measured against..I don't care for either of these teams as an O's fan but I always tell my son, no matter how far behind your team is in a series, game or the season, remember the '04 Red Sox because they are proof that about face, 180 degree comebacks CAN HAPPEN
Sup with the audio?
The audio doesn't match the video...
Cesario Mendez I knoe
Know
The start of the comeback
This is the Curtis Leskanic game to me!
Can we talk about that girl wearing a Yankees hat and Red Sox shirt right before Lowe gets pulled
I was in bootcamp during this my drill sergeant said Yankees are up 3-0 I laughed and said good another pennant then we went in the field for a week no tv no radio when we got back he told me lost the series I said ya good joke didn’t believe him for a while …whatever shit happens
This is the Stalingrad of baseball moments.

Is the audio out of sync for anyone else? 4/27/2022
2:53:29 time traveler
2:51:33 - just watched the 30 for 30 on this again and the whole world knew Roberts was running. And he was still safe
Is the audio off?
For most of this game you could see the faces of defeat in Red Sox staff and fans. Who would have thought they would come back to win 4 when the morale was so low…
The audio re-syncs properly at 11:42
26:49 What happened to the bottom of the 2nd?
Went to this game and game 5. Mybuddy didnt want to go to the games any more. Didn’t pay for the two tickets for each game. Really thought they’d lose game five. But then they won it, I knew they were gonna shame New York! 😅😅
Greatest comeback in sports history....until the 2019 St. Louis Blues 😎
Should have never happened. Torre gets 99% of the blame for this epic collapse.

I was only 2 years old when this happened.
