How the 2004 Red Sox did the (seemingly) impossible

Down 3-0 to the Yankees in the ALCS, the 2004 Boston Red Sox were faced with the most difficult path possible to making it to the World Series. If they lost, they'd face the unenviable reality of getting beat by their rivals two years in a row. But if they won, they'd make baseball history.

I'm amazed on how similar the Red Sox 2004 story is to Liverpool FC's 2019 Premier League win: *A long drought of titles *Depth in the squad *Money ball players with some big money signings *Heartbreak season in the previous year *And a knack for winning the clutch games.

This is well done but wish you mentioned the July 1 game (13 inning loss where Nomar sat on the bench while all 49 other players got in and Jeter dive into the stands), as well as the A-Rod-Varitek fight in the July 24th thriller which gave added meaning to Mueller’s walk-off against Rivera. Also no mention of the A-Rod slap play in game 6 of the ALCS. This story is far more than a between the lines story. There’s a reason the Yankees booked out an entire hotel in Mexico to prevent the Red Sox from meeting with Jose Contreras, and the Red Sox repaid the favor by having Theo Epstein go to thanksgiving dinner with free agent Curt Schilling’s family. The organizations and players genuinely detested each other, and went to extreme lengths (spending seemingly unlimited sums of cash in the process) to get the slightest edge.
