One of the Greatest Red Sox-Yankees Games of All Time!!

July 1, 2004 - An instant classic between the Red Sox and Yankees featuring hit batters, clutch hitting and career defining defensive plays.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

I have been a YANKEE fan for 68 years - this is one hell of a rush of several great suspenseful games ..... because it is a comeback, a win, A WIN AGAINST BOSTON .... it is a phenomenal game to behold ..... wish I was there instead of in the living room. GBjj

[@julyangel3438]

No matter how many movies or interviews or documentaries they make about this, nothing will compare a hot summer night in the bronx at Yankee stadium when the Sox or Mets are in town.

[@AwesomeGamer-ib8vy]

Or the Astros!

[@lawrencerdugo8020]

I remember watching this game. I was 10 years old, and me and my dad were able to catch the game at the 7th inning after we went out to an amusement park. It is one of my favorite Yankee memories. Watching this recap got me so excited. They just don’t play with this much heart anymore

[@andrewisaacson6298]

I am indulging this memory tonight. I was there, at the game. We sat in the upper deck behind home plate. I remember Jeter running into the stands from that third deck perspective. I remember the energy. I was 15, and it was 17 years ago, but that night is one of my most vivid memories.

[@kevingreen5793]

What amusement park was it do you remember?

[@anthonybaratta6152]

Pokey Reese: nice over the shoulder catch Jeter: hold my beer

The Yanks-Sox rivalry in the early 2000s was HOT

[@andrewrobbins6864]

Dumb hot

[@nyterpfan]

Best rivalry in sports bar none back in those days!!

[@jameslisle7775]

Out of all the World Series wins THIS is my all time favorite Yankees game!

[@OHCOULDITBE]

I remember watching it live. All time classic!!

[@FlipFreedom1997]

OMG DO I MISS THE OLD YANKEES MAN!!!

[@nyterpfan]

THIS was when the rivalry was second to none--EVERY game was BLOOD AND GUTS--so many unforgettable moments!! I was at the 1999 classic between Pedro and Roger Clemens-- an EPIC duel they put on the Sunday night before Memorial Day. Might be the greatest regular season game I ever saw!! (But SO MANY of the Yankees-Red Sox games in those years were like that--BLOOD AND GUTS!!)

[@TheFunkybert]

I love how Kay can’t control his excitement and Mercer comes in all cool “I’ve seen this before..” because he has!

[@tomholmes5055]

I was at this game, I was only 8 years old. But I remember it, one of the greatest sports memories of my life.

[@andrewdunn49ers]

I was there! Upper deck third base side, looked straight down on Jeter going into the stands.

[@flyyyguysky]

I remember watching this as a 11 year old with my dad, my first year watching baseball and the real full game I think I ever watched. I was hooked as a forever yankee fan just like my dad. I cried that year when they got eliminated and the red sox won

[@jamo3976]

I remember when they got Sheffield I kept thinking Vlad would have been a better player... Sheffield was a legit badass though, glad they went that way

[@georgevalco215]

I was there! I have the ticket to prove it….Absolutely the greatest game I ever saw in my life!! And that includes the World Series game too. Electric atmosphere of the old Yankee Stadium

[@toddbrown5955]

Jeter is the reason I played SS. My favorite of all time

A lot of people forget but this is the game that ended the Nomar being more valuable than jeter debate

[@sjang816]

so nice to see that smile wiped off ortiz face

[@SexAndCandyHair92]

He got the last laugh that year

[@vikthequick]

it was back on come october 😎

[@hmhm856]

18:00 Varitek ALWAYS got angry when a runner did that to him, even though its a legit clean play

[@tamerlanenj]

Never forget watching this game at Our House in Allston, MA (Boston) when I was at BU. Everyone was gettin' trashed on $2 Brubakers. I almost got murdered at the end.

John Flaherty, the unexpected hero

[@edwinsalinas8663]

The entire bottom half of the line up pulled through this game !!

Greatest day of my life, my birthday and my idol 🥲

[@dominicmassaconi6160]

I'm 57 thanks Derek Jeter for all the great memories..my dad is 99..ur like Joe D

[@virolo1960]

My favorite from that season was a week earlier on July 24th.

[@richardtherichard26]

I’ll never forget watching this game. 1st of July. Used to stay up late for the games as much as I could after school ended. Easily one of the best, during one of the years when the rivalry was DUMB hot. This exemplifies why jeter was named the yanks captain. My dad still talks about Miguel Cairo. This game made him his favorite player. What a fame

[@teacheraaron26]

That 0-2 to Cairo was a hammer that he somehow took. Leskanic threw his best pitch and still lost.

[@hmhm856]

18:59 OMG, look at Manny's career numbers vs Sturtze!! And then Manny would hit another home run off him , WOW

[@dramatyst5661]

This was the game where they decided to get rid of nomar. He looked so mad on the bench

[@baseballcinema]

Traded to Chicago the next day I seem to remember.

[@user-TheVideoGameBros]

Best rivalry game ever

[@VoiceOfA100Colors]

Its crazy Pokey Reese 2:42 makes that catch running into the stands at the start of the game and Jeter 12:47 out does him later in almost the same spot in foul territory

[@Cwaays]

Watching arod playing SS for the yankees was a dream come true

[@Cwaays]

@Lighthouse in the Storm he was better than jeter by far

[@m.t.v.7934]

This was one of the WORST seasons to be a Yankee fan. To be up 3 games to 0 in the playoffs and then to loose 4 in a row was something I thought I would never see. They suck the last 7 seasons and it is so hard to be a Yankee fan. 20 years on and they still can't score a run when they have a guy at 3rd with no outs. Somethings never change.

[@felipeobregon1110]

[@bluehorseshoe444]

[@tony_anello]

26:13 Young Sweeny Murti in the cut

[@rodprops]

Yup

[@hmhm856]

This was the final game of a 3 game series, as the Yankees swept a great Red Sox team. Then the Yankees went to Shea Stadium to play 3 games at the Mets, and the Yankees got swept by a bad (but growing) Mets team.

[@nakkesha]

I remember my mom letting me stay up late to watch the end of this game

[@pizzaparity]

wow, the jeter play is even crazier once you see the context of the game.

[@pellison14]

By any chance, can you find and post the Yankees Classic version of G1 of the 1998 World Series

[@Surfer041]

This game should have broken Boston's spirit

[@billny33]

It sounds as if this game singlehandedly caused Michael Kay to have to get vocal cord surgery later in his career.

[@Surfer041]

Cashman fd this 04 team by not re signing petite and or Clemens.

[@irt3rdavenueel172]

That pitcher was number 48 way before Tommy Kahnle

[@etamommy]

in the good old days when extra innings did not mean you get a free runner on 2nd base. what a crap rule change that has been!

[@wangcchi]

Ground-Rule "SINGLE"

[@JohnSmith-4U]

Too bad the Yankees couldn't duplicate this in the ALCS that year against the same Red Sox.

[@lawrencerdugo8020]

Why does gary Sheffield remind me of a black uncle rico from Napoleon dynamite?

[@Surfer041]

Giambi was fn useless after 03. One of many horrible contracts given out by Cashman.

[@MSPubducks]

Remind me how the season ended?

[@tamerlanenj]

key play in this game is Millar absolutely butchering Cairo's drive. Terrible angle. Were they not playing no doubles?

[@fitoajp]

I'm going to say it here because this game relates to these 2021 Yankees but I'm predicting...2021 World Series Champions!!!🏆 Hit that Like if you agree!!

[@sandman4115]

Tony Clark couldnt do that in the 9th inning in game 6 huh? Bum

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

Great game, but I can't enjoy it because of what happens in the playoffs. The Red Sox lost the battle, but won the war that year and it still stings after all these years. I can't even enjoy Boone's homerun the year before, because I know the Yankees not only lose the WS, but get bested the next year.

[@eddiez1247]

This game does not happen with the Manfred runner BS. I hate what this clown is doing to the game.

[@thomasjcox]

The 2004 Yankees were really that good?

[@sandman4115]

No. They were disappointing. 2004 ALCS erased any good that happened that season. Idc.

[@starlinpena4943]

04 yanks were the worst 101 win team i have ever seen and not because of the alcs

[@sandman4115]

@@starlinpena4943 no pitching at all. They lost Clemens, Pettitte, and Wells. El Duque was burnt out at the end of the season. Kevjn Brown and Javier Vasquez started 04 great but then sucked second half. Their best pitcher down the stretch was actually Jon Lieber. He pitched a solid game 2 of the ALCS and even game 6 he pitched decent enough. But there was no bullpen besides Mo. But even he blew one of the biggest games. No lefties. No chance. Being up 3-0 was too good to be true. And it actually was lol

[@starlinpena4943]

@@sandman4115 all i remember was vasquez giving up honers every single start Yanks should of tried harder to keep pettitte and clemens cuz our pitching was trash

[@sandman4115]

@@starlinpena4943 easy to say that. But everyone thought Clemens was retiring after 2003. Last minute he changed his mind. And with Pettitte, I remember him saying he wanted to be close to home in Houston BUT he also thought yanks weren’t interested in resigning him. Also his 04 season was cut short due to a torn flexor tendon. So even if we resigned him, he could of been hurt halfway through the season. And with David Wells, he had a solid 04 for the padres. But in the 03 postseason, he started having back issues and with him turning 41 in 04, i can see why the yanks didnt resign him either. It was a winless situation for the yanks. Probably why they loaded up on the offense
