My dad woke me up when the Red Sox were one out away from winning the World Series. I was in 2nd grade and my dad came into my room and said "We're about to win." When Foulke tossed that ball to first, my dad broke out in tears. It was the greatest moment of his life. My dad had waited 41 years for them to win. My parents cracked open a bottle of champagne and celebrated. I will always remember that moment for the rest of my life.
My dad woke my as well no champagne tho but funny wonder how many dads were doing that at the exact same time idk what grade I was in but I was born in 1996
It was their World Series. The actual World Series felt like an afterthought, though it did provide Pedro a proper sendoff in Game 3. 7 shutout innings, having retired the last 14 batters of his Red Sox career, finishing off with a 92 MPH fastball for a swinging strikeout.
This was the best sports series of any time or any sport. And I'm a Cubs fan. Edit: It's not even mildly shocking they swept the Cards in the actual World Series.
I'll never forget going to this game. Everyone at Fenway was standing for the entire game. My dad wanted to leave in the 7th but I knew that was a terrible idea. It was my first time at a playoff game, I wanted to stay to the end no matter what. So happy we stayed for this. The Fox broadcast showed a shot of me cold, shaking, and nervous right before the walk off!
I don’t get why people buy tickets and leave games early. I am into auto racing and see fans leave an f1 race after their driver crashes or has an issue on the opening lap and they paid a ton of money for tickets. It’s crazy.
I remember right after Papi hit the game winning blooper, I put my hands on my head in disbelief .."holy shit, it's a series now!" This series still brings tears of joy to my eyes!
One commentator in the documentary STILL, WE BELIEVE said that he knew that the ALCS would be a real series, as long as the Red Sox managed not to get swept. As long as they could muster a win in Game 4, they had the goods to win Game 5 as well.
How can you not love baseball after watching these two games - game 4 and game 5 - the Red Sox with their backs up against the wall win 2 marathon games with 2 heroic finishes. And I have been a Cubs fan since the 60s, so I understand a little about what the Red Sox fans went through.
I was at this game with my dad. It was the most vivid memory of a Red Sox game I've ever had. I was so intensely focused on every specific detail of that game. It can never be topped no matter how many games I go to.
2:46:00 Big Papi makes it 4-3 with a solo shot 2:56:16 Nixon and Roberts perfect hit & run to make it runners on 1st and 3rd with nobody out 3:01:43 Varitek sac fly to tie the game in the 8th 4:26:22 Wakefield K's Ruben Sierra to end the top of a 13th inning in which Varitek let go like 3 passed balls and maybe twice as many that popped out of his mitt because he wasn't a knuckleball catcher and Francona didn't want to take him out of the lineup to put Mirabelli in (the knuckleball catcher). 4:46:15 Start of Big Papi at-bat (it's a 10-pitch long at-bat, so if you don't wanna watch the whole thing)...: 4:51:15 One of the happiest moments of my life.
I could watch this over and over again. I don't hate the Yankees but I love watching them lose. The Sox are and always will be the most beloved team in Baseball, no doubt.
A classic. Watching this again as a Red Sox fan was a treat. Even knowing they won this game, I actually said to myself in the 8th inning "How in the hell do we WIN this game?" Crazy, but I was still nervous watching this!
Series comeback....yes. The 86 Mets were down 2, a strike away from losing....the odds of them winning were well under 1% The Redsox in the 86 lcs were a strike away down 3, and won. The 2007 Mets blew a 7 game lead with 2 weeks left. Infinitesimal odds. The odds of the Yankees losing this series after Game 3 is like 10 to 12%.
I remember watching this as a kid and going nuts that Tek couldn't catch that knuckleball in extras. Watching it on TV, it looks so easy to catch. When I was a bit older, I played ball at a high level and I was a catcher. I caught a knuckleballer and it was the most insane pitch I've ever seen in my life. It's like trying to catch a leaf falling from the sky. You have no clue where that pitch is going. You're just trying to get a glove on it or block it with your body.
5th grade when this happen, 9 years ago. I'm 20 now and even though I know the outcome I still cheer and get emotion like I did back then. Red Sox the only team I bleed, cry, and if needed die for. Boston Red Sox Baseball forever!
Johnny Damon was atrocious in this series. This series made the World Series seem like regular season series. The emotions and high and lows were incredible and I haven't seen anything like it since and I don't think I ever will. Only in Boston baby!
I started to believe after we came back on Mariano Rivera, in the 9th of Game 4, that we could make a 4 game run. Momentum is huge in these big series.
One reason why the Redsox won a W.S .... David MODAFCKING ORTIZ. God damn .... the most clutch post season hitter ever. Unbelievable .. Boston owes him everything for what he did for that franchise .. Manny and Pedro are the other 2. They started the whole aura
Robert Ledesma when did David Ortiz got suspended for using peds ? I don't remember and if he once used something what substance did he used ? Can't name it right
edison t he can’t named , only he can express is hate because big papi is the most clutch power hitter in the history and is proudly Dominican plátano power and Dominican proud de the baseball like a hof🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴😍😊
I was at this game.It was my very first MLB game.Looking back I can’t believe how many HOF’ers,and future HOF’ers, I saw in one game. Jeter,Mussina,Rivera,Posada,Williams,Martinez,Ramirez and Ortiz.
Even though Im disappointed of how my yankees choked. Im happy how the red sox and people of boston deserved this championship. You guys went through a lot. Respect. Yankees can't win everything.
From a Sox fan.... Much respect. That's the beauty of the rivalry. We know how dangerous the Yankees are and can respect that. It's what makes a rivalry fun. You never know who will take it any given night.
What an epic game! And now the incredibly moving book, "The Forgotten Game" is accounting this sporting event. This was an all around team effort... tip my hat off to knuckleballer Wake!!
Yes, I was extremely happy for Wake. When he gave up the winning homer to Boone years ago, he was truly worried he'd be branded as the reason we lost. Thankfully the Red Sox fans showed their support and love for a guy that gave everything he had. One of Red Sox Nation's all-time favorites.
One of the MANY reasons as to why I love the Red Sox is that they have a more laid-back style where as the Yankees are WAY, TOO militaristic!!! No facial hair, suits on the road (if I remember correctly). They're nothing but a gang of gestapos, for cryin' out loud!
With this being Ortiz's retirement year I can now include his name in the same sentence as Bird, Orr, Russell, and Brady. Thanks Big Papi for never giving up.
>Brady gives massholes the greatest sports dynasty in modern times for 19 seasons ... >leaves for one season after the pats were wasting the remainder of his career on a shitty offense with no weapons “FUCK BRADY HE BETRAYED US”
I remember being at a bar north of Boston during game three. we all got so pissed - spirits were pretty low - when we got back to my buddy's place I looked him dead in the eye and said "If we can win the next game - we can get the next three"
@@unclewillie9491 true, what made the Roberts steal so special was bc scoring againsy Mariano in postseason is pretty damn hard, he stole, Meuller got the hit....tie game, Mo blew a rare save. It was a big play...a ballsy play. 0 outs tho. But when you think about the odds and how insanely fortunate that fuckin god damn bounce was to me it was the biggest single play whether we realized it at the time or not. Clark's ball stays in play, which it does 99 times out of 100, Yanks are up a run, and there's no way on God's green earth that Mo blows another one.....Series over in 5. Biggest play of the series...Clark says he still has nightmares about it.
The at bat PAPI pulled off here to win the game - Is the Stuff of Legends/Hall of Famers - And started becoming The Greatest Clutch in The History of Baseball
I grew up watching Yaz, and always felt he was the Sox best clutch hitter. Well he was until Big Papi came along. He's come thru so many times I can't count em all.
Listen to the beat @2:49:56 until 2:50:43 -"Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior. Great walk, crowd is pumped up right after the David Ortiz home run...Classic.
Exactly, down 3-0 and 3 outs away against arguably the greatest relief pitcher ever and they tie it up and win in extras, down 4-2 and 6 outs away in game 5, score 2 runs to tie and win again in extras and never trail from then on in the postseason. As a Yankee fan, it was sad to watch the first MLB team to blow a 3-0 lead be my favorite, but I give the Redsox credit for not giving up.
The game of baseball is unpredictable. Just about anything can happen at any game from anyone at anytime. You just never know exactly what will happen.
Most people are NY Yankees fans, but Boston red Sox are a very fun team to watch. The Yankees should have won the game and gone to the world series. So everybody was shocked that the red Sox actually won the world series in 2004. The best team don't always win the game. Lady luck was on the red Sox's side this time.
Beating the yanks being this far down in the series really eclipsed the world series It was a given cus The yanks were the next best team in the majors in mlb al nl combined in 04. It was no contest after this.
I played high school ball with D Lowe. 2004 wasn’t his best regular season…he wouldn’t argue that. But his postseason, which let’s face it that’s the only season that counts when you were making the playoffs as regularly as these two teams were, was among the most clutch performances in baseball history. He was on the mound for every series clincher and was almost set up to fail. Instead of failing he was as clutch as clutch gets. Yes I was rooting for him. But even if I hadn’t been I’d have to recognize his sterling performance!
I said to a coworker that day if the Sox won they were winning the series. Yankees had no chance after this momentum swing. And the Cards were dead in the water next.
You can say what you want and have your precious 27 WS wins any day, but it still won't change the fact that your Yanks had the biggest choke job in MLB history.
@@GrikWorldNomad Of course the sb by Roberts was the turning point. Schillings performance in gm 6 and of course Papi doing his thing. But no one ever mentions this catch by Nixon or Bill Muellers base hit off Rivera that sent Roberts home, tying the game. Rivera was basically unhittable at that time. Bellhorns 2 run homer in game 6 also gets overlooked, what about Leskanics 2 innings of scoreless relief in game 4? What about Derek Lowe shutting down the Yanks in gm 7 on 2 days rest? Nixons base hit in gm 5 that sent Roberts to 3rd setting up the tying run in the 8th? Keith Foulkes work out of the pen? Yes Roberts sb was without a doubt the moment everything flipped but there were so many other moments that were absolutely necessary in order for them to come back.
Question for Red Sox fans. What is the legacy of these players - Ortiz, Martinez, Damon, Ramirez, Varitek, Cabrera, Nixon, Mueller, Millar, Foulke, Schilling, Orroyo, Embree, Lowe, Wakefield, etc, when you compare them to the legends whose shirts have been retired?
Thank you. I never knew in order to be a fan I had to take a quiz and pass. I thought there were categories of fans such as 1) Casual Fans 2) Pink Hats 3)Die Hard Fans I fall under #1 a casual fan.

This baseball series is by far my greatest sports memory. It actually felt like the World Series.
It was better than a World Series!
it jus another level never seen before 0-3 and come back
Pedro el grande

Amazing!!
I remember my mom literally screaming bloody murder like someone was stabbing her lol. The shrill scream was repeated after Game 6 & 7. 🤣
Your dad ruined the game for me he sat in front of me and blocked the entire game.
So true. That last at bat was like an 11/10 stress level.
@#$&-&%$## Varitek?!!
I am watching this game today simply to see Wakefield throwing that Knuckleball as I am overseas. RIP kid, you are a Champion!

Baseball back then was awesome. Now… you get 3 outcomes and nobody dares steal a base. Boring af. I haven’t watched an inning of MLB in like 6 years.
Never gets old! Go Sox! Still get the chills!
I was at this game with my dad. It was the most vivid memory of a Red Sox game I've ever had. I was so intensely focused on every specific detail of that game. It can never be topped no matter how many games I go to.
I think the icing on the cake is how lovable and fun the red sox team was back then. Everybody was having so much fun
I'm not a Red Sox fan but I have to say that watching them come back & destroy The Yankees the rest of the way was absolutely GREAT....
thanks
this was magical at the time....still is. i mean most of the games (besides game 7) were tight so they didnt really 'destroy' them.
why is your fanhood relevant
Diamondbacks, thank you!
Hey man the six still SUCK they still cant touch Yankees history!
"They're goin to the Bronx!"
Love that, gives me chills
@M go juggle a ball on your feet and shut the hell up no one asked
Yet nobody talk about soccer at all not even ESPN talk or care.
@M and????
2:46:00 Big Papi makes it 4-3 with a solo shot
2:56:16 Nixon and Roberts perfect hit & run to make it runners on 1st and 3rd with nobody out
3:01:43 Varitek sac fly to tie the game in the 8th
4:26:22 Wakefield K's Ruben Sierra to end the top of a 13th inning in which Varitek let go like 3 passed balls and maybe twice as many that popped out of his mitt because he wasn't a knuckleball catcher and Francona didn't want to take him out of the lineup to put Mirabelli in (the knuckleball catcher).
4:46:15 Start of Big Papi at-bat (it's a 10-pitch long at-bat, so if you don't wanna watch the whole thing)...:
4:51:15 One of the happiest moments of my life.
3:13:44 RSOX get the LUCKIEST BREAK IN THEIR HISTORY!!!!!! OMG!!!!! THIS was game over if it didnt go into the stands!!!!
Poor Varitek trying to catch that knuckleball. Really shows how impressive what mirabelli could do with Wakefield was.
I'm thankful to have witnessed it. So many fans never lived to see it. 86.years is a long dammed time.
David Ortiz: most clutch postseason hitter of all time
You said it!!! The real Mr October!
P E D S
Keep telling yourself that
That was to Robert

I feel like I can’t really relax as much when now a days.
The start of the greatest comeback EVER!
the comeback started with that steal in Game 4
Yes, of course.
when the whole world knew he was going
Series comeback....yes.
The 86 Mets were down 2, a strike away from losing....the odds of them winning were well under 1%

Greatest comeback in any series! Sox win!
Those we're the day's man, damn that nostalgia gets me everytime.
I watch this particular series once a year to soothe my soul. These commentators though were insuferrable though. It's like father's knows best.
I was wondering ... didn;t Joe Buck and Tim McCarver call this series? How was is that these two were calling the game?

Round II of the greatest comeback in baseball history. Still so sweet.
Ortiz, Three time World Champion, makes him greatest Red Sox, player ever.
P E D S
Clemens, Petite, ARod All caught using drugs.
Clemens and Pettitte were not on the 2004 team. Manny and Fat Papi were/are drug users.
Yes, I take that into account. I guess results matter. The powers that be decide the judgement. Without peds, Williams. Ruth or Yaz.

I said to a coworker that day if the Sox won they were winning the series. Yankees had no chance after this momentum swing. And the Cards were dead in the water next.
I remember saying (after this) the series could've been best of ten and the Sox would've won all of them.
Esteban Loaiza was absolutely filthy in this game that cutter was crazy
That's my HOF Pedro El Grande!!!!
Ese home run de David ortiz quedo en la historia como uno de los mas controversiales home run
Big Papi " David Ortiz" now "500 Homers Club" one of the most important players in MLB. Ask Boston for better information :)
His steroid supplier is the real MVP
+Leo R. You are a Yankees fans 😂😂😂😂😂
To much pain thanks Him 😂😂😂😂
Still he is The Yankees "BIG PAPI"
Leo R. How many games did he got suspended? And what substance did he used ?
Big Papi IS the most important player in the Boston history. Simply Incomparable.
new York mets vs. Boston red Sox
wow the audio on this sounds so old... i remember watching this live. feeling old.
13:03, Matsui's numbers coming into this game, good God .
That set from Pedro to Matsui at the Top of the 5th was everything.
Bronson Arroyo got Jeter, ARod, and Sheffield out consecutively. Fucking epic.
Greatest baseball game ever played.
Heroes exist. David Ortiz is one of them..
P E D S
You can say what you want and have your precious 27 WS wins any day, but it still won't change the fact that your Yanks had the biggest choke job in MLB history.
27 WS wins > 4 games in a row
27 Tainted Titles, Biggest Choke In Playoff History 2004, Worst Defeat in Post Season History 2018
This is the greatest story in history. I'mma tell it to my kids at bedtime in 20 years.
Does anybody know the beat at the very beginning?
“Clubbed to Death” ...it’s in the original Matrix and was on my first MP3 player in 8th grade.. haha wow.
Thank you Major League Baseball International TV.
2:00:25 the series was saved with this play
It was a great play, but the tide turned with the Roberts SB in game 4.
@@GrikWorldNomad Of course the sb by Roberts was the turning point. Schillings performance in gm 6 and of course Papi doing his thing. But no one ever mentions this catch by Nixon or Bill Muellers base hit off Rivera that sent Roberts home, tying the game. Rivera was basically unhittable at that time. Bellhorns 2 run homer in game 6 also gets overlooked, what about Leskanics 2 innings of scoreless relief in game 4? What about Derek Lowe shutting down the Yanks in gm 7 on 2 days rest? Nixons base hit in gm 5 that sent Roberts to 3rd setting up the tying run in the 8th? Keith Foulkes work out of the pen? Yes Roberts sb was without a doubt the moment everything flipped but there were so many other moments that were absolutely necessary in order for them to come back.
Hard to disagree - it saved the game for sure.
Question for Red Sox fans. What is the legacy of these players - Ortiz, Martinez, Damon, Ramirez, Varitek, Cabrera, Nixon, Mueller, Millar, Foulke, Schilling, Orroyo, Embree, Lowe, Wakefield, etc, when you compare them to the legends whose shirts have been retired?
That 6th inning almost burried the Sox. Luckily Pedro could work out of the jam.
Thank you. I never knew in order to be a fan I had to take a quiz and pass. I thought there were categories of fans such as
1) Casual Fans
2) Pink Hats 3)Die Hard Fans
I fall under #1 a casual fan.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO FIEND THE WHOLE ENTIRE GAME 7?!!!!
The Most Beloved vs. The Empire of Evil...... Boston Red Sox I Love You
