I am with you. I always come back to talk this team. Baseball isn’t the same. I am thankful to have those years.

[@TJ89741]

After 19-8 they never lost again. This team had one thing you can’t measure and that’s heart. They never quit. I will never forget this team as long as I live. One of the happiest moments of my life. Wakefield and Varitek hugging on the mound at Yankee Stadium long after game 7 was over cue the water works. Now it hits differently after Tim’s passing. RIP Tim Wakefield. 1:01:20.

Biggest Yankees choke in baseball history .

[@hmhm856]

They swept the Angels, they backdoor swept the Yankees, and they swept the Cards. RSOX beat two 100-win-teams in the 2004 postseason (its been done by many teams before).

[@hmhm856]

@@eliwebber6292 Its the biggest postseason collapse/comeback in MLB history. As for regular season collapse, that belongs to the 1964 Phillies, with a bit of 1978 RSOX and 1995 Angels

The crap and the threats I had to deal with from Red Sox fans was unbelievable. It's nice watching them lose now.

[@robwasilewski9273]

So in 2004 I was in Afghanistan and red Sox were down 3 games to none. I went on a mission for 21 days and when I returned I found out that the red Sox won the world series. Missed it all but we'll worth it

[@JTmakesfunofdiabled-hs9kh]

Lol that's crazy. I can just imagine going on that mission being like "welp seasons over, always next year" then the sheer shock when you were told they won. You probably thought it was a joke😂

I was there at game 4 of the ALCS. I wouldn't trade that game for any other. It was by far, the most exciting game I've ever saw in baseball.

[@shooth100]

When I watch this is reminds me of my mom, she loved the redsox. She got to meet all these players, tour the field, hold trophies etc before she passed. Great organization for what they did for her

[@HerptasticVideo]

Remember after the game when they were giving Manny the world series MVP award and they asked him if he had anything to say to Red Sox fans who had waited 86 years and he replied, "We want Alex," mocking all the Sox fans who wanted A-Rod over Manny? I do, and my god do I love that man. Funny thing is early in the season Manny had done a Dunkin Donuts ad in which he day dreams about winning the World Series MVP.

[@theyoungamptech320]

Jason Varitek made me the catcher I became in highschool. Watching this series solidified my thought that baseball is the greatest game and life lesson teacher on earth.

[@boogitybear2283]

Boston, this 2004 Red Sox team was the greatest Red Sox team ever assembled. What a crazy ride that was going from 0-3 to 8-0!

[@albertferro8563]

I’ll never forget this feeling after the 3rd out. It was the night of my rehearsal dinner. The marriage didn’t last, but the sheer joy the Sox gave me that night will last forever!

[@markharris5107]

I wasn't a Red Sox fan, but I've always hated the Yankees. Seeing that comeback from down 0-3 was so sweet. My favorite 30 for 30 film is "Four Days in October" - if you are a fan and haven't seen it, you have to watch it. The film focuses mostly on the comeback against the Yankees. Great film.

From the moment Boone hit the homerun in 2003 to the Sox winning it all in 2004, I don't think you could have scripted a more incredible story to breaking that 86 year curse. So many iconic moments and players that were a part of it all.

Getting curt schilling was so smart...they never win 2 world series without him...

[@ProudBostonian]

What’s DISGUSTING is how both the so called “fans” and mainly ownership has treated him since he retired!! For NO LEGITIMATE REASON other than they’re mad at him because he has enough sense to vote for President Trump which goes against their COMMUNIST VIEWPOINTS!! The entire league has lost their goddamn minds but The Sox are one of the WORST!! They proved that in spades by allowing the RACIST P O S LeBigot James to “BUY A SUBSTANTIAL PIECE OF THE TEAM…..” which I find quite ironic considering only a month or two prior he made it a point to let the world know just how much he HATED the entire city of Boston because of how “racist” HE PERCEIVED the city to be. Which I find extremely rich coming from a PROVEN RACIST AND LIAR. The latter part can be proven given that he was so DESPERATE TO BE A “VICTIM” that he went so far as to FAKE A HATE CRIME ON HIMSELF!! People seem to want to gloss over that but many of us have NOT FORGOTTEN AND WILL NOT FORGET IT. Anyways, as a Fully Disabled Combat Veteran I REFUSE to support a GAME that glorifies ANTI AMERICA AND ANTI WHITE RHETORIC. So I stopped watching and supporting MLB and the NFL. I would say the NBA too but I never cared about that *hit in the first place. I even had to get my Red Sox “B” tattoo that I got while I was stationed in Turkey covered over. I got it as a show of love for not only the Sox but also of my hometown of Boston but thirdly for my Grandfather who loved the Sox. However I know for a fact he would be rolling in his grave if he could see the state of the Red Sox! So I covered it over with an American flag something I know the Red Sox owners especially their newest ones HATE!

[@austin5019]

What an amazing documentary about the 2004 Red Sox season!!! That year will never be forgotten!!! The first and still only MLB team to ever come back from a 3-0 hole to win a 7-game series in the playoffs and their first World Series win since 1918!!! Since then, tey have won 3 more championships!!! Go Red Sox!!!

Lowe was nails the entire postseason. In game 4 of the WS he gave up 3 hits on 85 pitches. In 7 innings.

[@aj42k]

Never forget the day that Kevin Millar was checking out my mother when I met him at the College World Series in 2016. Here's the true yet funny story. Kevin had no line in his autograph line in Omaha CWS. After my mother met Dave Winfield and after I met Ozzie Smith. My mom saw Kevin Millar and his line had no one. I decide to go up to him and I asked him a couple of questions since he had a line and I asked two questions. Have you ever been nervous on Intentional Talk? His answer a few times when I first started. Got used to it. Given the fact that you played in the most historic World Series what was the biggest moment in your life in the entire playoffs other than that winning it all? His answer. I would have to say beating the Yankees in the best possible way. I told him Kevin after receiving and autograph from him. 'Even though I am a Braves fan we are thanking you Red Sox after what they did to us in 1996 and in 1999, both of the World Series. I was trolled by all Yankee fans in my family. Speaking of family my mom is one of them and she is right there taken a photo of us good looking men. So Kevin tells my mother and flags her to come here. I'm saying to my mother. Mom: Nah. I don't like the Boston players. I'm a proud Yankees fan. Alex: Mom he's checking you out. Get over here. Kevin: *Lighting up like a Christmas tree* Mom: No Alex. It's fine. Me: Mom you have the chance. I would like Kevin to be my dad. Kevin: *rolling on the lawn* and *still lighting up like a Christmas tree.* Me: I tried Kevin. Dammit Mom. In Conclusion: I will never forget that day. Got an autograph from him and Ozzie Smith as well. His was on a mini bat. Kevin was an 8x10 photo. Mom got hers from Dave Winfield.

All I'll say is I mathematically predicted that when an entire series, you can do the math yourself. But still, that's the only time I was able to do it to know. But it was wonderful to see it happen. (1918) last won (86) years later they win (1986) was last went (18)years later they win

I can recall hearing, sadly, of the increase of people dying in the winter of 2004 in Boston, far more than normal. Basically was people hanging to life but then saying joyously that " I can die happy. My Red Sox are champions". No other "nation" lives and dies with their teams like those of the Boston Red Sox. Been a member since 1965 at age 10. For those that felt bad for Ted, Pesky, Yaz, Buckner, I am most proud of this team that helped ease the pain of former players and said just that. Our nation was finally vindicated.

Red Sox fans say that their 2004 championship win was way more memorable than any of the Yankees championships in their whole history. You want to know why it was so much more memorable??? BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IN 86 YEARS!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 The reason why the Yankees chips aren’t as memorable or special is because they literally won all the time and so people were used to winning. That’s the definition of greatness.

Yeah, it was a tough day. Especially since they didn't get a "marquee" name in return. I was planning for a cross country road trip in August when it came on the news. Little did I know I would be seeing him at Wrigley Field in a Cubs uni late that month. It's sad the timing as he WAS the Red Sox for years. Now, he's an afterthought.

[@chrisknox2979]
