- On Wednesday, October 20, 2004, the Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees 10-3 in Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS to became the first and still only team to comeback down 3-0 in MLB History. Without Dave Robert’s clutch steal in the bottom of the ninth in Game 4 off of Mariano Rivera. Without Bill Mueller’s RBI single. Without David Ortíz’s walk off homer in the 12th. Without the late game heroics in Game 5. Without Ortíz’s huge walk off single in the 14th sending Damon dashing to the plate and to New York. Without Curt Schilling pitching 7 dominate innings in Game 6 with a torn right-ankle tendon. Without Johnny Damon blasting two homers and six RBI - a grand slam in the second and a two run homer in the fourth - than none of that becomes a reality, especially, the Red Sox breaking the Curse of the Bambino by winning the 100th World Series over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Ortiz deep to right. Back goes Sheffield…and we’ll see you later tonight!
One of the best calls ever.
That's why Joe buck will always have a spot in my heart. Everyone seems to hate him
@@bossman1989 same! And when he said "He can keep on running to New York" ... I love those calls
Doesn’t get enough credit for it either
@@bossman1989 totally w you
Just hearing mccarver and buck gives me chills. Miss these days of baseball. It will
Never be like this again.
As a Braves fan, this series was some of the most fun baseball I have ever watched. The Red Sox gave the Yankees the attitude adjustment those arrogant pricks needed.
You know it. I live in NY and people talk like they will just waltz into the WS every year. Then they will proceed to tell you about all the titles they purchased. Take care
It was indeed
Thank you Braves Fan. That level of arrogance in the Bronx was well known enough to bring us Manny Ramirez.
Why did Ramirez come to Boston? Because he was tired of seeing the Yankees win, and by joining the Sox he knew that he could break the Yankees string of success. Plus Manny picked himself up A Couple of World Series Rings, along with a World Series MVP for his efforts.
Exactly lol
As a New Yorker, I agree 😂
The 04 Playoffs was the GREATEST sporting event in history. Nothing even comes close.
Ya and the NL playoffs were insane too great time for sports especially in Boston!
celtics doing it now
Argentina vs France final, Miracle on Ice, 2016 NBA Finals are all contenders
As a life long Sox fan who endured YEARS of pain. To this day I can’t watch highlights from this series without crying my eyes out. That series was so special, maybe the best ever.
Coming from a yankee fan, it was definitely the greatest series in postseason history. Noones ever comeback from 3-0 let alone against the greatest baseball team ever assembled.
@@kix5365 i know a guy who knew a guy who bet 1000 dollars that the redsox would come back from 3-0 deficit. he won a lot of money at least 10 grand. the guy had a 1000 to blow and knew the odds and won.
Boston was so crazy after game 7...
After the World Series win the crowd wasn't anywhere near as crazy that night.
@Question Mark I came back to this series in the hopes that the Celtics can repeat what the great Soxs did.
@@princesssarah1213 I’m doing the same thing right now! Let’s go Celtics!
Boston was so crazy after game 7...
After the World Series win the crowd wasn't anywhere near as crazy that night.
This was just before social media and smart phones took off so everyone was tuned in.
I find myself rewatching these games one or two times a year. Absolutely unreal.
Definition of 'spark':
Two words: Dave Roberts.
Those 4 games STILL hold every ounce of emotion for me as a lifelong Sox fan.
Don't forget the other two words - Billy Mueller.
I was 13 when it happened. I remember screaming and falling half out of my chair and I got all embarrassed and turned to see my 40 year old father in almost the exact same position. Hope was hanging on by a thread, and when he took second it was almost like we all collectively started to believe. Crazy ass series. Never forget it
Agree 1000%
@@rmelin13231 The stolen base is key, obviously, but Mueller's hit off the greatest closer of all time is still to me the biggest moment of the series.
@@FarEastBeast You can add to that the HR that Mueller hit off Rivera on July 24, same year. Turned the season around for the Sox.
It’s been almost 20 years- I was at Yankee stadium for game 7 and still feels like just yesterday.
Thank Torre for putting it in your lap. You should have been out in 5.
Almost 20 years man. Unbelievable how time flies
Bar none, THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN BASEBALL HISTORY!
And then the Pats beat the Falcons in SB LI from being down 28-3 in 3rd quarter...
@@seanc.5310
That was “Tit for tat” for Super Bowl XLII, The Football Gods were clearly on our side That Particular Sunday in Houston.
The one thing I remembered most from Super Bowl LI was Tom Brady’s Jersey getting stolen after the game was over.
I said the same exact thing and 18 years later still today it is and I'm not a Red Sox fan and it's not even close. This was/is/always will be The Greatest Comeback in Sports history and it's not even close. Number 2 and Number 3 are lucky to have half the votes combined from #1. The rest can't even enter the gates of a rich millionares home.
All these Tiger Woods fans back in 2020 Masters and even ESPN brought that up regarding Tiger Woods win at the Masters was the Greatest Comeback in Sports History. I literally laughed and even sent a message to ESPN and told them "I guess you don't remember the 2004 ALCS do you? ESPN you are DEE DEE DEE!"
@@seanc.5310 that was 12 years after this happened. I see what you are saying, but this tops that Super Bowl and it's not even close. Football you have only one shot, and you can't blow it. The opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
While the Red Sox had to hold on for deer life being in peril mode 4 days in a row. Survive each day, win all 4, and make history or they are history and become history...good or bad.
@@Jiltedin2007 I still remember that as well. I don't even know if they found it by now.
I often forget how great hideki matsui was. Incredibly underrated player. But go sox 🧦
The most epic comeback in sports history
I get goosebumps every time I see this maybe for the 100th times!!! A Red Sox fan ❤️
This New York Mets fan was thrilled by the come back over the Yankees
Respect from a Sox Fan - You guys have suffered enough from The Skankees like we have/had
@@JJA1987 even God was rooting for the Red Sox !!
So was this Mets fan. I hate the Yankees to death.
@@dlakoba4459
That was obvious before the 2004 Season began. After getting Curt Schilling, some strange powers prevented the Red Sox from trading 2004 World Series MVP Manny Ramirez to Texas for Cheat-Rod.
You think God wasn’t smiling at Boston?
Braves Fan here. I was enjoying this as well.
The ONE TIME I can agree with Mets Fans. After 1996 and 1999, SUCK IT YANKEES!!!
When this happened the Braves were no longer the laughing stock of baseball. Who's the Champion now? ME! Choptober is now Champtober!
More in depth with the 2021 playoffs the Yankees were the first team eliminated in the playoffs. Cardinals were the second the next day. 2021 was the jackpot redemption for the Atlanta Braves. Out of 10 teams in the playoffs the 8th favorite to Win It All. 90% of the "expects" didn't have the moving on to the NLCS let alone winning the World Series. When Devin Smith did something stupid and Ryan Braun retired I knew we had a chance to beat the Brewers. The Dodgers scared me the most. Even more than the ASStros and the Brewers. The Brewers didn't scare me at all. The ASStros scared me more but not as much the Dodgers. The Dodgers scared me and if you think the Dodgers scared me, the Giants were the most feared team in the MLB. Unfortunately bad call by the ump and the rest is history.
"If we eliminate Dodgers, we will win the World Series."
Game 5 Braves vs. Dodgers. 3-1 lead? Oh Shit! Here We Go Again.
Before WS Game 5 started, Braves yet again with a 3-1 lead. "DAMMIT. NOT THIS CRAP AGAIN!"
1 hour Before WS Game 6 started. Back to Houston!
"If the Braves don't win the World Series, they will never win it all ever again. Even if they do, it won't be for a very long time."
Just remember how long it took the Braves to win it all before they won it all in 1995.
After 30 Years TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! Wish Granted!
26 YEARS LATER...THEY DID IT AGAIN!
In Conclusion: Lockout or No Lockout. Season, Shortened Season, or No Season, Braves will not repeat. Yes, I am a Braves fan saying this.
Everyone was saying repeat even during the Braves parade. I wasn't. Why? Think about it. 12 players on our roster are in free agency. 5 players other than Freeman aren't coming back Soler, D'Arnuld, Rosario, and Swanson will be gone. That doesn't count Will Smith either. If Freeman doesn't get signed we will be lucky if we even make it to the second round yet again and then a new First Round Curse will start for the Braves.
As for the Mets, as much as I hate the Mets I see them on the rise. I am not kidding you and I hate the Mets just as much as I hate the Yankees.
Do I see the Mets winning it all in 2022? No. Will they make the playoffs? Yes...but they won't last long.
Good Luck this upcoming season---oh wait never mind.
The greatest comeback ever started with a Dave Robert's stolen base in the bottom of the 9th. I'm neither a Red Sox nor Yankees fan and I still remember this series like it was yesterday.
Ortiz’s launch over the green monster is unbelievable. Not just the height, or the distance, it’s the speed in which it got there. That ish’ went from his bat to 6 stories up in milliseconds, just absurd power.
Good lord, has anyone ever had a series like Matsui had against Boston? And it still wasn't enough.
Yeah I always thought he was super consistent it was so annoying lol 😆
@@The_shark213all Arod had to do was get Jeter in from 3rd in game 5. Yankees had this series won on multiple occasions.
@@Surfer041had, had, had.
Still feels like it was yesterday. Ill never forget that week, it was awesome.
This was hands down the best 30 For 30 ever made. The rest are schlock compared to what happened here. Forget Pablo Escobar, Len Bias, The U. Garbage by comparison to this unbelievable comeback. "Don't let us win tonight" truer words have never been spoken. And he backed it up with his AB in the biggest spot imaginable. Millar has a fan for life.
Your Red Sucks didn't beat my Yanks....my Yanks CHOKED! Anyone who watched a 30 30 on this crap, needs a life....
Big Papi was the best clutch hitter in the game
This will never get old . Still loving watching this. Brings a tear to my eye every time. Red Sox legends. God bless
The stolen base in game 4, I believe started it all. They rally. Cowboy up. I miss it. I was a sophomore in high school . Sheesh I’m old now
Disney Plus has made a documentary 51 minutes long about this EPIC COMEBACK!
IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO WATCH IT GO DOWN LIVE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO!
FUCKING EPIC BASEBALL!
Fuck disney
As a Mets fan this series was some of the most exciting baseball I’ve ever seen
I guess you rooted for Boston
I can’t believe this was 20 years ago!! I was in my early 20s and loved the Sox(I’m from NY),hearing my friends with the “NINETEEN-EIGHTEEN” over and over,after the Boone HR off Wake(RIP)in ‘03.This was a nice reprieve,and after the first 3 losses..Just thrilling.Best comeback in sports history.Then swept the Cards in the WS.
BOSTON RED SOX 2004
FOUR DAYS IN OCTOBER
GREATEST COMENACK
IN HISTORY
Nearly 2 decades ago now. Oh my 😯
One of the most surprising things about this series was Rivera blowing back-to-back saves, both in potential series clinching scenarios.
Hands down... Ons of the most exciting series ever.
Nothing in baseball history will ever top this.
only in 2004 can you call hideki matsui "godzilla"
THE greatest comeback in American pro sports history, all things considered.
Incredible that the people in the stands watched one of the greatest moments in the history of sports. They had no idea how incredible this comeback would be.
In 2023, nothing still has come close to this series
2023 ain’t over yet, Celtics have something to say about this haha
@@juniorhage8774 Nope
Never seen a hitter on such a tear like matsui in this series
Kikè Hernandez
No offense, but that's really your takeaway from the greatest comeback in baseball history?
There was one series where BJ Upton hit a home run like every other at bat against the Sox
A-Rod would’ve be celebrating that year with the Red Sox and also few more rings 😂😅
Never gets old
No A Rod sissy slap? Definitely a highlight.
Is it crazy that I was 12 years old the year before when they lost to the Yankees became a Red Sox fan and this happens the next year I’ll forever remember this like yesterday I was so happy to beat ny alone lol
A tip of my Red Sox cap to Dave Roberts whose stolen base in game 4 was the spark that ignited the greatest comeback in MLB postseason history! And a hats off to Big Papi whose walkoff heroics helped seal the deal.
BlueJays fan here.
Boston became my second favourite MLB team after this magnificent come back.
Best series ever.
This and the 2016 cubs v indians. chef's kiss.
This was the best and most fun series of baseball to watch.
oh really a fixed series was the best and most fun?
The Skankees History is fixed - Don't Listen to Clown Osso
@@robertosso5210 your yankee salt feeds me in this time of my sox being bad
@@robertosso5210 I love when punks can’t handle reality. Yankees lost because they suck. Everyone in Boston knows it. We’ll show you again in a few days
@@callsignfatbeard2637 didnt we sweep you last week
If the Yankees had one this series, which, as a Red Sox fan, I am grateful they didn't, Matsui would've been the MVP of the series for sure.
The greatest sports moment in history,,,,PERIOD! Nuff said. It's up to you, New York tooo chooooke.
Matsui was a BEAST
... in the first 3 games
I love how this video starts with Johnny Damon striking out. How perfectly fitting considering his performance in game 7.
This and election night 2016 are magical for me.
I was a freshman in highschool during this World Series. It was unmistakably one of the best moments in Northeastern (I live in Maine, and we are all Sox fans, as we have no team) sports history, easily. People in Massachusetts h a t e the Yankees, and were tired of losing to them every single f*cking year. The stolen base, then the grounder to tie the game, just chills….then Ortiz coming in clutch as usual.
I love the human error element to baseball and the fact that all parks are different and changes things for different teams more than is given credit for. It makes the sport fun and interesting. Please no robots!
Omg they showed it. Mariano spitting his gum out. I said, after I saw that. There is a kink in the armor. And there was. By far my favorite sport’s memory were these 2 weeks of baseball. I cried!! Fucking Papi. Let’s Go Red Sox!!
Thought A-rod’s swatting in Game 6 would be on this
A-Rod is a cheat!
@@Jiltedin2007 Was, is, and always has been.
@@Jiltedin2007 & A-Pussy too!!
watching this on the west coast on TV was bonkers. was allowed to stay up late (like 1230) for the series.
cant even imagine watching live or in boston!!!!
The fact they came back even in game 4 and 5 lol. They was trailing. Unreal
Jesus christ Matsui went ham in the first 3 games
The best series 2004 between Yankess vs Red Sox ACLS
Man we never mention how good shilling was game 6 though uff 🔥 and wow this was one of the best or the best years in baseball I have seen
And then to end it in NY after being up 3-0 in the series is crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Yankees should have been bunting on Schilling until his ankle was torn to shreads.
Thank you for this
Back to Foulke,RedSox Fans have longed to HEAR IT
Greatest ALCS EVER
That Utz sign gave me nightmares after 2003 Boone
Every time i watch stuff on the 2004 ALCS it blows me away seeing the amount of times when the entire series hinged on one thing going down. The first two boston wins coming in extra innings.... one dude screws up and the rest of this never happens. I miss watching every single pitch in a game with baited breath.
That was the amazing comeback ever!
I almost forgot that my big red team from Boston wins in an instinct, despite the odds.
2004 MLB.... What a year
Im a Sox fan but I gotta admit I forgot how fucking good Matsui was in this series, crushing everything.
Dude was a sox killer!
Probably the greatest sports moment since miracle on ice.
Still the greatest moment in sports history
Cry every time I watch it.
Incredible 😎
Fever Pitch brought me here 😊
the graphics and sound effects for when runs score is like a yugioh duel disk
LMAO
I’m from Boston and was born July 2005. Hmmm
Damon was at the Heats vs Celtics game showing that ring. I'm wondering if the Celtics will do the same thing In game 7 😂
only bad thing about this series is how overlooked the 04 nlcs was
The good old days!
To think, just last season(In 2020), the Houston Astros were one win away from accomplishing this feat after they fell behind 0-3 to the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS. But in Game 7 the Rays put on their Hitting Shoes and wrap things up quick by scoring 3 of their 4 runs in the first two innings in winning Game 7, 4-2.
So for now, the Yankees still hold the mark of being The Only Team in Baseball History to choke away a Pennant after going up 3-0 in a Series.
Good, fuck the Houston Asterix. Lost every WS they werent confirmed to cheat in.
I almost forgot to watch this today, I am sorry.
Hideki Matsui was a menace
I miss the coke bottles at Fenway
At 13:15 you can hear Ortiz say I'm a bad man. Yes big papi you're a bad man!!!!
I forgot how good Matsui played in this series
Just crazy.
Peak baseball right here
How can you not include the Pay-Rod slap play?
13:12. Ortiz: "I'm a bad man!"
Love Love Love that team. Papi!! Robert’s, Pillar, oh my goodness. As Curt Schilling said, “nothing better than making 55,000 people from NY shut up.”
Once Roberta stole the base you can see the Yankees be like “yup I think we are fucked “
Matsui was The Boston's father deammmm
Red Sox were sick of losing to them. As a Red Sox fan, it was payback for everything they did to us.
Not even a fan of both teams but god damn do i love slapping this to those yankee fans 😂
Does everyone just hate the Yankees 😂😂😂
What if something like this happened in the World Series? I think the only franchise that could pull it off is the Seattle Mariners. It's no more unlikely than winning 116 games in a season.
Manny was horrendous in the outfield lol
Jeeez matsui was a monster.
Joe Torre totally blew this series in 2 aspects. #1 He should have brought in Rivera to start the 8th inning in game 5 but he waited until it was already blown by Gordon before doing so.. No way Rivera blows 2 saves back to back nights especially a 2 run lead.. with 6 outs to go..
2nd was starting Kevin Brown in game 7 and then bringing in Vazquez with the bases loaded to face Damon.. totally awful managing decisions.. with those it cost the Yankees the series..
They choked period
Torre wasn’t the worst part of the choking, but he didn’t help. I still don’t understand why Kevin Brown was the starter for game 7. I’m a Sox fan but that one never made sense to me
yankees suck Sox
Rivera blew a shitload of games against the Sox in his career. What makes you think it couldn't have happened in consecutive games?
Hey shut up guy
Celtics 🔜🔜🔜
Luke Matsago with the same exact sawed off bloop single to win a league championship
Ah damn did anyone see Manny get elbowed in the face when jumping into the pile 17:05 ouch😂 Red Sox’s baby
I think of the 03 and 04 Red Sox Yankees rivalry as one long story where the good guy(for anyone but yankee fans…and at this point maybe even some yankee fans) defies the most unlikely odds imaginable to win at the end. Down 0-3 facing the team who has owned you for almost a full century, to the point where you are the butt end of a joke, against most dominant closer of all time…it couldn’t have been written any better.
cabe destacar que en el esquipo contrario estaban alber purjor , alex rodrigues y enyer bertres
Celtics doing this starting tn
I wish i was cognitive during this time to experience this hype
Yankees Fans: Hideki Matsui is ALCS MVP.
Fox Sports: This is over. Red Sox are done.
Dave Roberts: NOT IN MY HOUSE! NOT TODAY! NOT EVER! You can thank me later!
Johnny Damon: Thanks Dave! I'm the ALCS MVP. You saved us and I thank you for this as well.
Bill Mueller: Hold it! If it weren't for my hit we would have been eliminated in game 4. You should all be thanking me.
Curt Schilling: Oh Really? Did you all forget that I pitched on an injured leg. to save all of your asscracks? Did I mention my leg was bleeding as well? I guess I'm forgotten.
David Ortiz: Shut up everyone! I saved us all not once, but twice with two walk off hits in two consecutive games! Think about that!
Kevin Millar: Wait? I don't get credit for this? You should all be kissing my badonkadonk. I was the only one that had faith all this time unlike each and every one of you, including of all coaches, our manager, the media, the fans and everyone else.
Terry Francona: Alright kids settle down. You should not be arguing. We made history. We should be celebrating. We are having a Fiesta Tonight. All of you deserve respect even the other players as well. Let's Celebrate!
All Red Sox Players: Yes Sir! You're Right! Let's Celebrate and then Focus on The Cardinals.
The Yankees: *Triggered*
Yankees Fans before game 4: LOL HA HA, HA HA HA. We gonna do it again.
Yankees Fans after Game 7: *Butthurt With Silence*
Red Sox Fans after game 3: I Can't Believe We Fell For It Again.
Red Sox Fans after Game 7: BOOOOOOOOO YAAAAAAH! HEY YANKEES FANS. MEMBER WHEN TOU SAID YOU WERE GONNA DO IT AGAIN? I MEMBER...OH WAAAAIT!
I'm guessing Matsui went cold after game 4?
