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 😆🙋‍♀️.

this series was fixed

Robert Osso hahaha You mad, bro?

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

Q

Red Sox Pwning the Yankees is so satisfying.

so good

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

@@brmillgr I ‘😊

Torre was foolish to start Kevin Brown. It was truly thr beginning of the end for him.

@@creatinjustin I was a wreck watching that game! I felt a lot better after Damon’s grand slam….it was a thing of beauty!

Dave Robert's changed my life

@@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.

Awesome story.

@M Didn't ask

@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.

​@user-gu4tv4hp6s wtf is wrong with you? There are 195 countries....

​@user-gu4tv4hp6salso 133 countries are involved in international baseball. Fake news much?

I agree 100%! If Roberts hadn’t stolen that base, game over, end of the road for the Red Sox!!! That play is so under appreciated!

Biggest play of the series was Clark's double bouncing over a 3ft perpendicular wall....That miracle from on high saved the Sox.

@@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.

@@brmillgr I was 19 in 2004. It was an amazing time.

The '07 ALCS vs Cleveland was also epic but yeah this one will never be topped

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.

The same thing happened to me in 1967, the season dubbed ad the "Impossible Dream". Hopeless BoSox and baseball fan from then on.

Good fun memory.

@@granitestater1029nice

@Starlin Peña no you didnt lol

Saying 'the yankees choked' gives no credit at all to the Red Sox for hanging in there and being tenacious against all odds.

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.

@@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.

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.

Yeah I don't watch bsball anymore either. Partly cuz its pay tv, partly cuz of attitudes in today's society. No one was more passionate about the game than me. I keep watching this series tho. B

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 was 17 years old, tired with having to go to school, but as a Red Sox fan, I was so happy to win 4 straight. The choke will always haunt the yankees and yankee forever and ever.

I say stuff like that about certain games. However I have to say, I did watch this one live and it was like being psychologically tortured for an hour or so. I had to get up many times and leave the room because I was so stressed. It's fun to rewatch it for sure. But when the outcome was uncertain, I was _not_ having fun. Too invested in the game, I guess. That's just me tho.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Hell no. Bruins should've won that Cup. Appalling ref blunders.

@@notoriouseagle1074 Bruins got outplayed. Blues were the better team. Especially game 7.

multiple things are at play here. first off, the Red Sox hadn't - up to this point, in 2004 - won the World Series since 1918. And in order to even make it to the World Series, you had to win the American League, which has long been dominated by their nemesis the New York Yankees. The few times the Red Sox even made it to the world series, such as in 1986, historic collapses have snakebitten them such as the "Bill Buckner" game 6 in the '86 world series. The franchise is "cursed" because they allowed BABE RUTH to leave the team and go play for the Yankees, and if you don't know who Babe Ruth is...then...uhhh... well let's just move on. Fast forward to 2003, the year before this series, the Red Sox and Yankees squared off once again in the ALCS to see who will move onto the World Series. It was a tight 7 game series that came down to a walk off home run by Aaron Boone in game 7 to lift the Yankees, once again the Red Sox are "snakebitten". Now we're at the present day in the video, 2004 ALCS. It's game 4, and the Red Sox are down in the series 0-3. In sports, it is EXTREMELY rare for a team to lose the first 3 games in a 7 game series and then come back to win, because that requires them to win 4 games in a row to win the series 4-3. Every game is an elimination game at this point. In this video, it's game 4, the Red Sox are on life support, and they somehow manage to win in extra innings thrilling fashion to stay alive. And it's this comeback that sparks the overall comeback in the series as they win the next 3 games as well to finally vanquish the Yankees and make it back to the World Series for the first time since 1986. And from there, they have so much momentum that they don't even lose a single game in the World Series, sweeping the Cardinals 4-0 to claim their first World Series championship since 1918 and finally putting the curse behind them. So yeah, quite a bit of context for you there.

@@Masterofxtreme93 thanks that was really a good breakdown for a non-baseball fan. I think I've heard of Babe Ruth in.. Frequency? Maybe.
