True Story: I graduated high school in 1996. In my yearbook, I wrote that my dream was to see Pearl Jam in concert & the Red Sox win the World Series. My classmates had dreams of being lawyers, doctors, visiting Europe, joining the military or Peace Corp, having a family, etc.. My dream involved a concert and a ball game. I had no idea how important that dream would be. Four years after I graduated, I met my future wife on August 30, 2000, and kissed her for the first time....at a Pearl Jam concert. Four years after that, I married my wife...on July 24, 2004...the same day as this game...the turning point...the most important regular season game in Red Sox history. Then roughly 3 months after we were married, the Red Sox won the World Series. I have now seen the Sox win 4 World Series and Pearl Jam in concert over a dozen times. But the fact that I met my wife at a Pearl Jam concert, then got married the same year the Sox broke the curse, as well as the same day as the Varitek vs. A-Rod /Bill Mueller walk-off of of Rivera game, after what I wrote in my yearbook, is amazing to me.
The legendary rivalry.
Jason Varitek will forever be a cult hero for that shove to A Rod 😂😂😂😂
I’m a Yankees fan, but you have to appreciate all that the Sox have done. They always make it interesting against us, and have given me some serious stress over the years.
When the Sox beat the Evil Empire in those fateful four days in October and then then won the WS it brought tears to my eyes and I broke down. All I could think of was my dad who had passed and never was able to see his beloved Red Sox win it all. It brought back all the memories of my time with my dad at Fenway and also the sound of the game on the radio he always had on. Thanks 2004 Sox it was truly a magical and beautiful year.
Tek told A-Hole, we don’t throw at .230 hitters!!!😂😂😂😂
I’m a Yankees fan but I do enjoy videos like these. Giving other teams motivation/drive to try and defeat us. We enjoy a challenge. Makes the game more enjoyable for everyone. Not just Yankee fans alone. It adds a piece of history, forever. 👍🏼
Every time I hear that Tessie song it reminds me of MVP Baseball 2005
Boston Red Sox won the world series in 1918 and they did again 100 years later in 2018
Who’s here after The Sawx sent the skankees packing in the wild card?!? 🙋🏻♂️
Red Sox vs Yankees
I had a ticket to this game, part of my Saturday Sox Pax 4 pack. I flew in from Dallas the day before, and went to the Pawtucket Red Sox game in Pawtucket, RI. Sadly they lost, just like the Red Sox did that night. I got to Fenway around 2 pm for the 3:15 pm start. My seat? 3 rows from the Pesky Pole in Right Field. Sure was fun being there for this game. It was a full Red Sox baseball weekend for me. AAA on Friday, MLB on Saturday, AA on Sunday and A on Monday. Flew home to Dallas on Tuesday morning. Still got the ticket stub.
The rivalry between the Red Sox and Yankees is such a great and amazing rivalry!!!
What a year that was! I was 29 yrs old. It's one of the best memories of my life, that whole year, 2004. I was at that victory parade in Boston, that town was lit up! It was epic! Again 2004 was a great year, at least for me. Go Red Sox!!
In spite of Everything Johnny Damon did in a Red Sox uniform (and I do appreciate what he did), I will never, ever forget how he got Red Sox Nation fired up by saying he would never play for the skankees, then he pulled a Benedict Arnold and signed with them.
I lived in Manchester, NH for a number of years, which is about a half hour, maybe 45 minutes to Boston. Well, I got off work one regular normal Friday and met friends on the deck at a local bar called Strange Brew. Fast forward 2 or 3 adult beverages & there's 3 of us, all wearing our Sox caps, sitting at a 4 chair table. Up walks this tall tall man coming from the bar inside, drink in hand. He sits down, looks at all three of us one at a time and says " Nice hats boys ". Long story short, after blinking a half dozen times I realized this is Mike Timlin!!! He sat and shot the sh*t with us for close to an hour. Still have a group photo on my Facebook...he's as nice a guy in person, as he seems on camera.
That was on my 25th Birthday, and the best present I ever received. My wish came true.
I was still shocked with the Normar trade that season
I’m a Red Sox fan and my friend is a Yankees fan and we literally argue all the time about baseball😂
If you are a die hard sports fan, you sometimes see things a normal sportsman doesn't. You could see something was happening, something was changing. It came to full tilt when Roberts stole second base. I knew then it was going down.
