A little side story about Buckey Dent…. My sister actually dated Mickey Klutz back in high school… He was supposed to be the Yankees starting shortstop but he ended up getting hurt and got replaced by B.D. ( Gehrig,Wally Pip) My dad would talk about it periodically but I always thought it was an interesting thing 🤔….

I have watched this close to 60 times and I still get teary eyed thinking of how winning the WS, after being down 3-0 to the Yanks. I’ve always said that I am bigger fan of baseball than of any team, which is why I can show respect to players from any team. However, I hate the Yankees. They’ve had some great players, whom I respect for their dedication and contributions to the game, but I loathe the Yankees. Since 2004, I’ve had a lot of awesome days and experiences, including having children, but October 20, 2004 and October 27, 2004 are among the best days I have ever lived. Go Red Sox!!!

Chills. Absolute chills.

November 16, 2024 Its 6:00Am Everyones asleep...I Know what happens When I was 11 I saw it live.. Here comes Mitchell with the tying run... I pound on the table and Yell Damnit!!! now everybody's up and I'm in trouble 1986!!!!

Mookie had a killer at bat.

the henderson homerun was set up by a don baylor homerun, and that henderson homer was not a game winner. FAKE NEWS!

didn't the sox break the color barrier by using an african american as a pinch runner at a game in Comiskey Park?

Ken harrelson on the bucky dent call.

Here in 2024 after the epic game 5 collapse of Yankees to my Dodgers. Yankees are still chokers. 😂

37:37 “I’ll never forget Vin Scully’s words” 😔 Yeah… Same goes for me. I remember them like it was yesterday.🥺 “And look who’s coming up!” 😂 …🤣 I know. I know.

It's one crushing defeat over and over until you wish Flanders was dead

I'm a lifelong New Yorker Mets fan, and I hated the Yankees. They ruined baseball in 90's by buying championships. Usually Im thrilled by hometown ticker tape parades...but it just made it worse, having insufferable fans everywhere in your life. I was SO happy 2004 Sox comeback happened!

How crazy is it now that Aaron bleeping Boone is now much more a part of keeping the YANKEES down for years. Never let him go, Hal

The last 5 minutes gets me choked up every time I watch it. I’m a Phillies fan but there was no team like the 04 BoSox.

The Curse of Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays.

Please note that "Reverse the Curse" cuts out the majority of the material about the shameful Red Sox history on race that was found in the original doc, "The Curse of the Bambino." If you want to see the full segment, go to the original, about 32 minutes in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4HLpWOQoceIjpo&ab_channel=MikeS

Every Red Sox fan began with hope. The stories of past horror seemed vague, almost mythical. Then...as you grow up every Red Sox fan had that one moment that took them to the fantastical place of sadness. For me, it was 1986. I was in UK and woke up in wee hours to see game 6. I didn't see the game live only extended highlights. I got beyond excited in bottom of 9th with two outs but...I looked at how much time the show on UK channel 4 had left. There was too much time for the game to be over quickly. I began to feel dread. My mum a New Englander (NH) woke up to watch with me. Then we both watched the horror unfold. To this day it is surreal. Scully's legendary call still echoes in my head like a doomsday siren. In 03, it was bad but not as bad as 86'. In 04 it felt inevitable after going down 3-0. I told myself not to bother with game 4, stationed in CA the game despite late east coast finish was on at a reasonable time. I wanted to not care but I did and checked it... Ortiz came to the plate. The rest is history. We all had that one moment of horror that granted us entry into the house of pain then that one extended glorious catharsis after Ortiz's homer that released us all. After 2004 I stopped paying attention to the Red Sox. In a way I feel bad about that but with such an emotional release what Red Sox did post 2004 just didn't matter as much.

Just like the guy who kept dialing his uncle, I was on the phone with a friend making plans to go to Boston for the victory parade. Then, McNamara brought in Stanley. I said to my friend, "They're going to blow it." Buckner wasn't the goat, it was Stanley. Stanley was the proverbial bum in Red Sox history. I can't tell you how many losses he caused because he was such a choker. And HE was their closer!

As a lifelong redsox fan the day we finally won the world series was amongst the happiest days in my life .

Wow! The last 15 minutes! Worth all the waiting. Worth all the energy and love we Sox fans have put into this team. It’s been 20 years and we got 3 more, but this was pure agony and then pure joy that you can still feel.

Best sports story Eva (ever)

Ben Affleck narrate the original documentary wonder why he didn't do this updated version?

I’ve watched this probably 50 times. Never gets old

I think I can speak for all the RedSox fans who lived 2004: Despite all the disappointments and heart-breaking losses by RedSox teams that played with so much heart; Despite the bigotry of narrow-minded owners who added salt to the wounds by hiring clowns that never should have managed and allowed for years of poor organizational approach and execution: Despite all the abuse put upon RedSox fans over 86 years: When you consider how they won and who they beat - IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.

39:11 when Dennis Leary says "any sox fan who thought they would come back is lying their ass off" ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY 100% CORRECT!!! When they won, I was truly PISSED I'd have to watch YET ANOTHER GAME! I didn't WANT to watch another one- but i knew I'd HAVE TO 🤬🤬🤬 And each game after that i was pissed again knowing the torture would continue and the fact that they got closer would only make it much much worse than had they gotten swept!!! 💔

As a Phoenix Suns fan, I hope I can have a Red Sox 04 moment someday. I’m 23, I just hope I’m blessed enough to live to see the day they finally capture the Larry O’Brien trophy

Since several teams including the Red Sox have broken their “curses” after this documentary, here is my list of the most “cursed” teams in American sports as of 2024, no particular order: -Cleveland Browns -Detroit Lions -Buffalo Bills -Minnesota Vikings -Phoenix Suns -Cleveland Guardians -Los Angeles Clippers -Los Angeles Chargers -Cincinnati Bengals -Buffalo Sabres -Arizona Cardinals -Atlanta Falcons -Seattle Mariners -San Diego Padres

Back when you were allowed to hate

Red sox fans are the biggest assholes! Straight up!!!

The Buckner play wouldn’t have mattered even if he made the play. Stanley screwed him, he didnt cover 1st. Knight would of scored and the batter would of been safe at 1st

As someone who grew up liking the Red Sox and wasn’t anywhere near to being alive at the time I’m still upset about them trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees😂😂

It was great to see all those Dave Granlund cartoons from The MetroWest Daily News. I was sitting at one of the desks in the paper's Sports department when the Red Sox came back against the Yankees and won the World Series by shutting out the Cardinals in Game 4. On the comebacker to Foulke that ended it, my heart went into my throat, certain the ball would be thrown wildly, but our Sports Editor, Craig Larson, pumped his fist and said, "Yes!" and I relaxed.

Waited my whole life for any championship. The Phillies delivered in 2008 but when the Eagles finally brought home a Lombardi it made dealing with everyday life a lot easier. Now I need a Stanley cup.

I like how this doc does drive home how the wheels were already coming off before Bill Buckner missed the ball. He didn't deserve all of the blame. The only thing he could have done differently apart from not playing was have a newer, tighter glove.

It's sad that the guy Peter Casey died in August of 2004. He just missed seeing it happen.

I remember this Documentary. Right before they won.

Since 2004 they have the most championships in baseball

not a single person of color in this entire thing

20 years later. This win still gives me tears. Thank you Red Sox

As an O's fan seeing that happen to the Yankees and the turncoat Mike Mussina who never did get rewarded for selling out was almost as good as if the O's had won themselves.😂😂😂

What’s sad for me personally is by 2004 I was a senior in high school and had given up on playing baseball after being obsessed with the old game up until I was 16…I was into drinking and smoking weed heavily by then…wasn’t with my grandad to see the victory and he was still alive and well , and was born in 1919…it comes with a lot of personal pain too …even though they did finally win…it was too late…Now I’ve rekindled my love for baseball, have been back playing amateur ball for 7 seasons…love the game more than I ever did as a kid…but I don’t care about the MLB at all anymore…it’s a funny cycle

20 yrs later...we have pink hats, & granola eaters now. Fenway is like Disney land. Can't smoke, can't leave & come back in. Overpriced woke joke

To this day im still convinced that this documentary is what broke the curse the following year

The Buckner error is what made it obvious to everyone that the curse of the Bambino was actually real. Watch the clips of that play: his glove literally folds out of the way of the ball for no reason. It was supernatural.

I live in N. Ca when Barry Bonds "broke" the record, the radio signal went dead, we didnt hear the cal.....

Twenty years later and it still brings tears. My favorite moment though was in 2005 when they got their rings vs. the Yanks. They introduced each player and when they introduced Mariano, he got a standing ovation. He acknowledged the crowd with a broad smile and a laugh. Quite a moment.

I hear they really traded ruth cause he was black ( white passing)...

I'm a Cubs fan, but I hate the Yankees since the 90s, and I was looking for a team that hate them as much as me. I celebrated every time they lost, but 2004 was my dream come true series. Down 3 and come back again the Yankess? Since then, Cubs/Sox forever.

im not a big faan of red sox but im a big fan of baseball and when that happened i was so happy for the sport

Lifelong Yankee fan but the 1918 Chants are over The Sox revered the curse
