2003 ALCS, Game 7: Red Sox at Yankees

- Boston Red Sox 5 at New York Yankees 6, F/11 -- All that was on the line was a trip to the World Series. The starting pitchers? Merely two of the greats of their generation in Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez, who brought a combined nine Cy Young Awards into this epic showdown. The teams? Just the Red Sox and Yankees, epic rivals for decades. When they met for a decisive Game 7 at a juiced-up Yankee Stadium, it seemed impossible that the Red Sox and Yankees could live up to a game that was hyped like few others. True enough, it didn't live up to the hype. Instead, it was even better than advertised. And when Aaron Boone stepped to the plate in the 11th inning, the "Curse of the Bambino" swirled in the rafters.
The rivalry hit a climax from 2003-2005. It hasn't been the same since.
Posted this at 1 a.m. ? lol.
8 a.m. for me. I think after these years it needed to cool off a bit. I am a die hard Yanks fan, but I have never fully recovered from 2004
Neither have I. At least we did win another title in 2009.
+ORANGE KNIGHT 2003-2005 was far more intense because they played in back to back ALCS classics
Leo R. U sure about that?
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsm4708 Hes right. 2005 was the most intense year because they were on equal ground for the first time since 1920.
2003 and 2004 was the height of Red Sox Yankees rivalry, I miss the atmosphere in the stadium for those games.The last few years the teams have almost become friendly, its sad. Both teams are stacking young talent I hope in the next 2 or 3 years these teams are at each others throats again
I think the Munson years saw the height of the rivalry, he and Fisk, Mickey Rivers and Bill Lee. They were great games in 03 and 04, but the rivalry wasn't as hot.
I agree. I've lived through both times, and this rivalry was bigger back in the 70's. I'll never forget 1978 and the years before and after. Fisk and Munson, Rivers and Lee like you say. Eckersley and Guidry. We had Reggie and Pinella, while the Sox had Fred Lynn, Jim Rice and Carl Yasztremski. That was a hell of a rivalry. One game playoff needed to decide the division in 1978, and what a classic game that was. The tension was unreal for that game like no other I've ever experienced. I remember when the rivalry was so intense back then, that every single time those 2 teams got together, it was like a World Series atmosphere. Like every single game, you had to win to prove you are the better team. Now when they get together, it's like, oh the Sox are playing the Yankees today, like it's just a routine scheduled series. Don't get me wrong, the rivalry in 2003 was still intense, but not quite like it was in the late 70's and early 80's.
I tell people that the air was electric from the time you got to Kenmore Square, and Fenway was insane, particularly if school was in session and the NY fans from Bu were there. A couple of pops at the Rathskeller, maybe a joint on the walk over the turnpike, and let the game begin!
It began in 1999, remember the coke bottle incident, and escalated from there. Now it's almost friendly. Good times.
It started long before that. As a kid in the 50's we hated the Yankees. Then in the 70's it was Fisk and Munson, Mickey Rivers and Bill Lee.
It hurts watching this game as a Red Sox fan, but I'm sure it hurts just as equally for Yankee fans to watch most of the 2004 ALCS in return. 2003-2005 like most people have said was no doubt the height of this rivalry, and I REALLY miss watching the MLB from that time period. Every game during that time that involved the Red Sox and/or Yankees was intense, no matter who the opponent was.
+Ice Man Yep, I think 2005 was the last year that the rivalry was really intense. Here's several reasons why:
Former Yankee David Wells signs for the Red Sox, while Randy Johnson signs with the Yankees.
You also had a few Red Sox and Yankee players pretty much swapping sides and playing for the other team compared to the year before, including Alan Embree, John Olerud, and Mark Bellhorn.
Mariano Rivera still having lots of trouble closing games against the Sox, most notably during the beginning of the 2005 season.
Gary Sheffield getting into a fight with a fan at Fenway during a game in April 2005
Red Sox coming off their best championship run ever from the previous year
Both teams having an incredibly intense run for the playoffs in 2005
And the list goes on from there. I think 2006 was when the rivalry really cooled down compared to what it was before that, although the main highlight from the end of 2005 going into 2006 was Johnny Damon signing with the Yankees if you ask me.
I know this is an old thread but I think ever since the old Yankee Stadium got torn down the rivalry went to an all-time low. The current Yankee Stadium just doesn't have that same charm to it, it is more like overpriced fancy hotel with half the seats empty rather than a good ole' ballpark that everybody knows and loves. At least you guys still have Fenway.
Wolfman12395 more like 99-05
Sometimes our favorite team wins and sometimes they lose. I always see it this way: If they don't win this year, there's always next year.
i couldn't agree more with that, during that time the rivalry was amazing... although i am a yankee fan the games don't have the same feeling when one of the two teams are struggling.
"Clearly time is not an ally of the Yankees either..."
*Immediately win game*
Tim Mccarver is a dope.
Steve Whalen yea, not even entirely sure what that meant, I guess he was talking about the relievers they had left
Probably meant Rivera had already gone 3, but no crystal ball for Tim.
They meant with Rivera being done they didn't have many reliable arms left in the bullpen the longer the game went, the better chance the Sox had to pull out the win
@@processmaddenleague8712 Jeff Weaver was coming in for the 12th and the Sox still had Williamson to close. Mccarver was right...until Boone
One of the greatest games/series I've ever watched.
***** Pace of the game is a problem, but commercials are as well. Without commercials this game is 3 hours and that includes extra innings.
***** I agree, just saying commercials are a factor as well.
KHayes666
Yes, KH, but ya know; it’s all about the Benjamin’s..
I much preferred the sequel 😉 (born in Massachusetts)
2004 ALCS was better. Me being a Red Sox fan has nothing to do with this. 😂😂😂
Stadium absolutely erupted when Boone hit the walk off, there will never be an atmosphere like that for a long time
@bumdog Yeah. I was there for gm5. The place shook.
Look who was pitching I could of hit that ball out of the park no big deal Boone is not a home run hitter he hit it off a knuckleballer that throws 80 mph Jesus
Gail Purcell hes not really talking about the homerun hes talking about how excited the fans were
I will never, ever forget going to this game. The most unbelievable atmosphere you could ever imagine when Boone hit that HR. Grown men who had never met before hugging each other in celebration. NOBODY left the stadium for 15 minutes after the game was over. God I miss those Yankees teams from the mid-90's-early 2000's.
Shit man, that must have been amazing. I remember trying to get tickets to game 7 the week before(if there was one) online, and I found a cheap price in the upper deck because they were just starting sales, but decided not to and just gave up. I still regret it \:
+msp663 I envy you... you know in a good way.. I had to watch it at home... cus. I live in the 809...but yeah the exciment was obvious.
I watched this game at home being from Connecticut. I was 11, I had to be in bed for school at maybe 10. I remember waking up due to the house phone going crazy after the home run.
hopefully they are on their way now to becoming another great team.....they look like it, and they are loaded in the minors.....
So what. They choked in the series. Another waste, like '01
Regardless of how many times I watch this game, my reaction is still the same. In my opinion, this game goes down as one of the most amazing games in the history of the NYY...with the exception of the 2001 WS. Ugh, how I miss these days.
It's ironic how they didn't win the WS in these incredible years. Where the most unbelievable happened.
Watching this just makes me realize how dead this rivalry really is. I just hope at one point, hopefully in the near future, it will return to this level of intensity and competition.
+Aaron Armstrong What needs to happen is BOTH teams need to be odds on favorites to win it all. Hasn't happened since 2009, Sox sucked from 2010-12, Yankees sucked in 13, both teams sucked last year and Sox suck this year.
I agree! It's sad. I can't talk about the rivalry the way I used to back at this time. It wasn't that long ago but the fact is America has abandoned their national pastime!
Sad but it's reality. It's not fast or dumb minded enough for the majority of impatient Americans to care about anymore. Thanks technology!
The Dominican Republic and other patient societies or areas where smart phones and constant entertainment is only a few thumb presses away isn't available, OUR not so called anymore national pastime thrives.
As a former higher level ball player (college ball) it makes me very sad!
In my area, there's no babe Ruth league, no American Legion league, I'm wondering if little league is in the verge of extinction! Lacrosse is more popular now in my area of the country
Very sad indeed!
+KHayes666 you're missing the point of OP's post.
+Aaron Armstrong The rivalry died down after the Red Sox broke the curse.
+KHayes666 Yankees didnt suck in 13, the won 85 games. Not great but above average
I remember this day perfectly. Grew up in southern Connecticut and the energy for the game was already palpable at my middle school soccer practice. Straight divide between yanks fans and Sox fans. There was an energy in the air that was indescribable. And the game didn’t disappoint. We will experience that again
Here are the main events in the Red Sox yankees rivalry. In 1903 the first time they met, a fight took place. 1904 won of the best pennant races ever took place, with the Red Sox defeating the Yankees on the last day of the year, to win the Pennant. In 1912 the two teams played the first ever game at Fenway. The Red Sox won on a walk off by Tris Speaker. In 1919 Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees, and so were many other Red Sox players in that era. 1938, a brawl tkaes place again between the club. In 1941 one of the greatest player vs player sports rivalries started (Joe Dimaggio vs Ted Williams). Its worth noting the two clubs finsihed 1 and 2 for the pennant 4x from 1938-1942. In 1948 Boston knocked NYC out of the pennant race in the final week, leaving them alone to battle with the Indians. In 1949 an amazing pennant race took place, won by New York. More fights took place in 1952, and 1967. Roger Maris broke the home run record against the Sox in 1961. Billy Rohr was denied a no hitter in '67, and Mike Mussina was denied when he was 1 strike away from a perfect game in 2000. In the 70's things really got hot, as the teams battled for the pennant from 1975-1978, and had fights in '73, and '76. Thurmun Munson and Carlton fisk also had a rivalrie going. The fans have gotten involved, from Gary Sheffield fighting a fan in 2005, and a fan jumping into the bullpean in 2003, too Yankee fans throwing beer bottles on to the field in the '04 ALCS and Chris Champliss getting a dart thrown at him in 1974. The Bucky Dent homer and the Boston Massacre in 1978 was brutal, so was Dent getting fired in Boston in the 90's. From 1999-2006 the rivalry hit it's peak. Brawls in '03 and '04, Curt Schling, Johnny Damon, Roger Clemens, and A-rod deals. And of course the 14 games played between the teams in the '03 and '04 ALCS', (THE odds are a walk off will take place 1 in 15 times, but in this case it happened 3x in 14 games. The hiring of Aaron Boone, the 2017 A.L east race, and both teams being good has kept things intersting in recent years, but when the bronx zoo died, so did a lot of the energy surrounding the rivalry. Fenway and the Old Yankee stadium were both extremely rowdy, so taking away the old Yankee stadium left us with only one eletric venue.
As a HUGE yankees fan, I just want to say that the Red Sox are one of the best competitors that we have ever played with. Just to be mature, I feel as us Yankee fans got hit even harder the next year after this game. Hint hint...world series...red sox. Also thanks to the red sox fans that aren't total douches and respect baseball.
+nyyanksfan931 If you're under the age of 25, I can see why you'd say this. NO ONE over the age of 25 would be as humble as this.
+nyyanksfan931 That's okay, I'll give em the 2004 WS they earned that one which is crazy for me to say cuz I hate the sox to the fullest, but respect where it's due...
And besides, we were avenged by the Giants in 07 when they ended the Pats undefeated bid in the superbowl #PaybacksAFemaleDog :)
+nyyanksfan931 First of all the sox are the biggest chokers in the history of sports (just look at 1949, 1967, 1975, 1978, 1986, 2003, and especially 2011).
Second of all the yanks winning in 2003, after being 5 outs away from losing down by 3 runs, coming back on the team that has history of choking and hadn't won in 85 years, and then walking it off to win their 6th pennant in 8 years is WAYY more of a feat than a team finally winning the world series after 86 years. It's like congrats you one 1 title, law of averages. Like I said, the yanks had just won 4 out of 5 world series and had little to prove. Oh yeah, and Ortiz and others roided the sox to win in 2004, everyone knows that and if they deny it they're just in a bubble.
Thirdly, red sox fans are the biggest douches in baseball and everyone agrees on that.
And most importantly, 2003 and 2004 were followed up with the Yankees christening the new cathedral by winning the World Series in 2009, it's first year, thereby stealing the team of the decade title from Boston, and the RED Sox went on to achieve the single biggest collapse in the history of sports in 2011. Lost a 9 game lead in September, and were ONE STRIKE AWAY in game 162 and blew it. Anybody can lose 4 games in a row (after winning 6 of the previous 8 pennants I'll repeat). To blow it with 5 outs to go and a 5-2 lead with no runners on in 2003 is bigger. To slowly collapse and set a record for losses in a single month (7-22) and blow it with one strike to go after everyone predicted they'd win the World Series is much much bigger. Mathematically, it's a much bigger choke than 2004 and totally made up for it in the eyes of many yankee fans. Sad that you're a yankee fan cuz you should be wearing these facts like a badge on your sleeve. 27>3
P.S. The Red Sox just spent 400 million dollars in one offseason/season and came in last place.
See what I mean? ^^ and once again The 1964 Phillies was worse than the 2011 Red Sox
"Anybody can win 4 games in a row." Yet in a 7 game series only 1 team has ever done it
Gives me chills still.
LAVAR YOU WATCH BASEBALL?
Man I miss the old Stadium. It was so loud and there was so much energy in the playoffs... Not the same anymore. Just listening to the fans brings back memories of that era.
It's not the fans. Old YS had an upper deck, which were most of the seats, right on top of the action.
“The ghost show up eventually” lol I love Derek jeter.
Boone batting .125 w/ 1 RBI in this postseason is why I watch til the very last out no matter whos at the plate
this was theee most best/emotional game and series i have ever seen in sports. period
I miss this rivalry even though of not a red Sox or yankees fan. Ever since the red Sox broke the curse and became a dynasty the rivalry has lost its meaning. On the MLB network 20 greatest games. They talked about how Rivera had to go back in the dugout when the Yankees rallied in the 8th as he was warming up because he started crying because the moment got too big for him. He said he never heard yankee stadium as loud as it was that night. I have to turn the volume down as i watch this on youtube sometimes that's how loud it was. I can only imagine what it was like for those fans that were at the game.
a dynasty? there are no dynasties in MLB....if you're gonna call the Sox one...how bout San Fran Giants in 3 of the last 5...now that's a dynasty closer than Boston
@@Contrimundi Lol, how are there no dynasties in the MLB? The Yankees were a dynasty in the late 90's.
@@Contrimundi Not even the Giants were a dynasty btw, it is extremely rare.. But there has been some dynasties in the MLB.
Greatest night of my life since birth! God I miss the old stadium!
As a Red Sox fan, this is really tough to watch. But I really gotta respect the Yankees for this one. They had a truly great team, and even if the eighth inning rally is painful, it still gets my adrenaline pumping to see Yankees fans go so nuts when Posada tied it. This is, without question, the greatest rivalry in all of sports.
Michael Samuels Respect, thanks for it.
I wish every baseball fan could be like you. Much respect
Like your respect but it's not the biggest rivalry in sports. Cubs and cards was a big one and so was bears and packers. A recent huge one was blues and black hawks
It is by far the biggest rivalry in sports ever.
03-04 was great for the rivalry even if 04 kills me
It was arguably one of the best series I've ever watched. From the 1st pitch of game 1, to the final pitch of game 7 truly worthy of the name "classic"
Looking at this game here in 2021 in my 50’s and still get goosebumps!!! Miss the rivalry between these two teams; of course; always rooting for my Yankees!!!’
I agree, BTW, Bucky Dent 1978
This was the Yankee lineup i was in love with
I could watch this over and over.
Oh man I remember staying up late to watch this game when I was 7 years old, when I REALLY started getting into baseball.
Good times.
I was at this game, with my father and good friend I who i worked for who is a die hard Red Sox fan, I'll never forget the the look of all our faces, I'm a Tribe fan, but I'll say it was surreal, the old Yankee stadium use to shake, you just felt the vibe back then that these guys had something lookin over them, every time I felt it, yankees pulled off something memorable
HISTORY AND A BEAUTIFUL DAY WATCHING THE RED SOX CRY
BOSTON WEAK
But it was an even better day The Following Year after Johnny Damon went YARD on Javier Vasquez on the First Delivery to put Game 7 away Early.
That’s how you make 55,000 People from New York Shut Up!
Everyone talks about Boone's HR, but Mo was the other hero, coming up big for three innings yet again. Seeing him huddled on the mounds in tears at the end shows how emotional that series was. They might not have won the World Series after that, but this ALCS was one of the all-time greats.
What an absolutely incredible night. I remember watching this at home. It was after 5am here when Boone hit that home run I think. Still went nuts.
I could watch that flare a million times, with Jorge screaming on second.
13 years where does time go now a days games like this are why i love baseball
Possibly the greatest game I've ever seen
Most red sox fans became fans in 2004 and missed this epicness!
I was at Fenway when Jeff Reardon recorded his (at the time) major league record 342nd save in 1992, nice try though.
one of the few lol
One of the many.
few
many
Roger Clemens pitched some of the most infamous games in Red Sox history, for both sides. 1986 World Series Game 6, 2003 ALCS game 7, etc.
My favorite Red Sox games lmfao!
I will never forget this game as long as I live
God I miss old Yankees stadium more and more as I watch this!
I know, I like the new stadium, it's the best in MLB but it's not the old lady across the street!
My favorite moment in baseball history. There was no better feeling than the year when I was old enough to understand baseball and watch this game with my dad as Yankee fans. Been a Yankee fan as long as I can remember and will be one till I die, but this memory sticks out the most to me. Even more than 2009.
WHEN POSADA GOT HIS HIT TO TIE THE GAME .. YOU COULD TELL IT WAS GAME OVER .. THE FANS WENT CRAZY.. THE BUILDING WAS ROCKING.. THAT'S WHEN THE WHEELS CAME COMPLETELY OFF FOR BOSTON
The best rivalry in Baseball.
2003: Yankees
2004: Red Sox
Yankees beat Pedro again in Game 6, 2009 to win the World Series.
New York Sports Has 54 Championships we Pedro’s daddy he didn’t beat us in 04 we beat ourselves against Boston and if Torre goes to Rivera as a Yankees fan I know without a shadow of a fricken doubt we win that series easily go Yankees and we still Pedro’s daddy
And Boston in 2018
@@jaredmcgorman3731 I guess you are a Celtics fan in the nba because they have the most titles.
I was in high school at this time, and this was baseball at its peak for me. It was so dramatic watching the Red Sox & Yankees slug it out in 2003 & 2004, it was probably the best rivalry in all of sports at that time. In the NLCS, you had the whole Chicago Cubs/Florida Marlins Bartman drama and that series was a crazy rollercoaster ride too. Crazy that of the final 4, the only team that wasn’t a historic decades old franchise, was the one who ended up winning it all, the Marlins!
Isn’t crazy this game happened 20 years ago?
@@user-td1me4tv3u oh my... time goes fast
as a cubs fan, a world series is all i want in life
Congratulations bro
Damn! Going to the World Series for the 6th time in 8th years! Yankee Stadium was fuckin intimidating! Yanks4life!!
What I love as much as the home run is how the Yankees celebrate with hugs following it.
It's sad the Yanks didn't win it all that year. But as far as moments go, the Aaron Boone home-run has got to be one of my favorites of all time. I love the 8th inning and Posada's double and his reaction, but the moment Boone made contact with that ball in the 11th everyone knew it was gone. It was sheer exhilaration.
Jason Holguin I still have this game on VHS tape. Coincidence or not the tape had enough time left to capture Boone’s game winning homerun & the postgame chat. But Joe Buck’s commentary bores me to utter death. Thank god the game shown back in 🇬🇧 had different commentators.
White Sox fan here. I remember watching this game with my dad back when I was a sophomore in high school. It was one of my fondest dad-son bonding moments when Boone hit that home run. Until the White Sox won it all in 2005, this was my favorite baseball moment.
2003 amd 2004 was the peak of baseball imo those postseason were epic NL and AL
Honestly this is one of my favorite Pedro Martinez games to watch. Really this shows how good he was when you think of the tense environment and the atmosphere of this game with it being Game 7. That includes the 8th Inning. It was so close and took all of that effort for the Yankees to finally rally and for Pedro to be done. He was tiring in the 8th but still looked better at 60 percent than most pitchers at 100 percent.
What killed me at the time was that (Giambi’s HRs notwithstanding) Pedro’s stuff and control was good enough to keep hitters from making good contact. They just left him in there long enough for the fastball to flatten out. In retrospect, I’m so glad Terry Francona didn’t pull a Grady Little and let Martinez get his clean 7 shutout innings to finish his Sox career in 2004 (when his pitch count was ALSO at 100) instead of spoiling that clutch strikeout of Soriano.
@@RealJeffTidwell You know what the irony is? If David Ortiz DOESN'T homer in the 8th against David Wells? There is zero chance Pedro comes out for the 8th with only a 4-2 lead
@@bostonredsox49 Probably not, aye.
It’s crazy to think that he went out again after a shaky 7th, also the commentators mentioned that Pedro was fighting some muscle pains going into the game. 100 pitches. Eternally dumb. But then 2004.
Simply a marvelous baseball game with a stunning number of Hall of Famers.
I'm not a fan of the Yankees at all but I have to tip my hat to this moment. I remember watching it with my die hard Yankees fan brother this night. The power of UA-cam makes it like yesterday.
This WAS the world series that year. I just realized this was the last time the Yankees celebrated a playoff series victory in the old Yankee Stadium.
By far the best game I've ever seen
i like the last hit.. NY fans from Philippines
11 years ago today, still one of my favorite childhood moments
Born and bred Yankees fan here and I just want to say RIP Tim.
what a series baseball never been the same since
Oh man, was this ever sweet! One of the best Yankees games I have ever seen. The stakes couldn't be higher at the time. Living in southern Connecticut, this meant everything. Boone and the rest of the 2003 Yankees, can't thank you enough!
Aaron Boone did an interview a few years after that. He was jokingly asked what his middle name is. He said, "John". Then he was asked what his middle name is in Boston. He said, "Uh, blanking?"
@@auntydale3379 lol nice!
The very last time the ghost of babe played a role in a Red Sox Yankee series
There was never a phony curse. It was 85 years of bad ownership, bad management and a lot of bad luck. This game wasn't a "curse", it was Grady Gump leaving in Pedro. The following year, there was no bonehead managing goofs.....and look what happened.
***** your fun at parties
MrBlue1190 you're*
George probably fired the ghost of The Babe after the loss to the Marlins and Babe returned to Fenway to work magic for the Sox since 04😂😂
I'm still pained by 2004. Painful.

Yankee fan here ... Oddly enough, in 2004 I accepted our fate with a sense of serenity. After this dramatic Game 7 win in the 2003 ALCS that was devastating for the Red Sox and their fans, I could only marvel at Boston's incredible comeback from a 3-0 deficit in 2004. These were two epic AL championships by two great, deserving teams.
2004 alcs was fixed!
It was beautiful in '04 especially the silence in game 7
It is a supreme honour that I attended this game. I sat in the Bleachers, Dead Centre. I knew that I would never see a bigger game. Almost 17 years ago now. I still remember yelling at the top of my lungs when Boone went yard and I could not even hear myself. I had never experienced that before. It biggest non-World Series knockout game in baseball history. I will still say that this loss was tougher for Red Sox fans then 2004 was for Yankees fans.
The disappointment on Joe Buck's face is priceless.
@MANCHESTER UNITED your team isnt even on UEFA Champions League and your rival is getting all the tiles even wih a punishment under them, shut up
MANCHESTER UNITED stfu already
The joy in Bret Boone's face too

2:58:00 for Aaron Boone.
I remember watching this game when I was in 1st Grade. I remember it all... Incredible that its been a decade already
Best game I ever saw in person.
Man, it chokes me up when they show Bret in the booth looking on at the end.
He was really proud. Cool moment between bros.
Why?
I was at a bar across the street from the stadium, and you could hear the stomping and the crowd as if they were 2 feet away. People were hugging in the streets. I even kissed a random hottie :0

@@MIKIEEYEZ1975 no I didn't.
@@joeambrose3260 no bs. It was a happier, simpler time. We actually liked one another
Greatest game in baseball history.
Wait till you see 2004 AL series,,,,you'll love that one.
Another bitter Sox fan. Just can't let it go. 🤦
I'm a long suffering Pirates fan----not a Yankees fan----but I could watch this ending over and over. So cool that Bret Boone was in the booth to see Aaron take NY to the Series----incredible.
I love it when old school Pirate fans chant "1960" and younger Yankee fans go "What happened in 1960?"
The noise in the old stadium
Im surprised the guest announcer Brett Boone wasnt all excited and jumping around because that was his little brother who hit the Homerun in the biggest game of his life
He was too busy crying
He also has to be bias too as a announcer
But thats his younger brother. Even his father Bob Boone was sitting in the Yankees radio box and screaming his head off
Scott Edwards True but it wasn't the yankees broadcast it was Fox. And he had to be Bias. But he did show some emotion. Maybe he was just too shocked to say anything as you can tell he had tears in his eyes.
Scott Edwards I also want to point out I thought it was very classy of the other two announcers to not talk at that moment and let him have his moment with his brother.
That was an amazing comeback...truly one of the greatest sports moments in my life. It was really like something out of a movie.
the shot of Brett Boone looking down at the field while his brother celebrates is fantastic, with Joe Buck looking at him and smiling. That is an "it" factor
I remember watching this game
To all you complaining about Joe Buck. I'm a Yankees fan & think he called this game just fine. He is a NEUTRAL announcer. He's not supposed to call it with the biased emotion that regional announcers do. Get over yourselves.
Listen to him doing Cardinal games. Be honest and say the same thing!
So easy for everyone to hate the Yankees.
Fact is they have won 27 championships and that's more than any team in any sport!
You haters can keep hating all you want want but reality is exactly that, reality!
Old saying but..,,,, SCOREBOARD BITCHES!
LONG LIVE THE EVIL EMPIRE!!!
+Cory Skeen Clearly, you have no idea how terrible Joe Buck is. (See the David Tyree helmet catch in the Super Bowl. Jeez, he's bad)
+Calvin Roberts who cares. That's because the NFL is one big snore.
You can't honestly say that with a straight face
Literally one of the greatest games in MLB history!!!
Once again Joe Buck with no emotion on a legendary moment.
He let the fans enjoy the crowd noise
Ryan Wile I said this to my brother in law at the time, he was letting Bret Boone enjoy the moment.
Ryan Wile Joe Buck was so pissed
Ryan Wile Buck and Fox get a lot of grief, which is well deserved, but out of all the crap they do, IMO this is the only thing they get right. They let the moment happen and STFU.
I have no problem with enjoying the moment. But have some excitement when he hits the homer then you can be silent. He acted as if it was a game in June, not the World Series.
GREATEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've seen a lot of baseball in my life, especially the Yankees and Sox rivalries 1975 Sox and Reds. 1977,78 Yankees and Bucky in that awesome one game playoff game in 78.1999 Yankees Sox 2003 and 2004. Nothing beats this rivalry. It will never be the same. I'm a big Yankees fan and I knew at the time of this game seven the RED SOX were ready for a championship. They were just as good as the YANKEES by 2003. In 1978 the RED SOX were great and if it wasn't for the YANKEES I believe they would have whipped the DODGERS and won it all. As a Yankees fan I salute the BOSTON RED SOX for winning it in 2004. Great memories., but the YANKEES WILL ALWAYS BE THE BETTER TEAM AND MUNSON/FISK were the two best AL catchers in baseball in the 70's . I'm a big MUNSON fan hated FISK at the time, but respected him. I was very young at the time. Now I love Fisk LOL.
I mean yankees we're better. Ever since 04 it's red Sox 4 world series to the Yankees 1
@@brentw0681 Ever since 1996 its Yankees 5 Red Sox 4
Still gives me chills to this day, i remember being up that night watching knowing i couldn't go to school that morning if the Yankees lost this game.
This was truly the last agonizing loss the Red Sox endured during the Curse of the Bambino, but they would avenge their loss the following year in thrilling fashion that no fan will ever forget.
One of the greatest moments, ever. Sends chills down my spine to this day.
Who's here in 2019
I was 2 man. 2003 is the goosebump year.
Miss the Old Yankee Stadium. It was a jungle the way people celebrated.
The new one looks more like a mall.
MANCHESTER UNITED Get outta here, no one gives a crap about soccer.
The first time I went to the new stadium, I was utterly disappointed. The appeal was gone. It looked just like all the new stadiums. Gone was the history and feel of the old stadium. I haven't been back since.
I agree, my wife is a die-hard Yankee fan from Brooklyn and she had been at the old Yankee stadium and last time in NY she took a tour of the new stadium as Yankees were out of town and she hated it."Except for the Yankee banners in their rotunda I could be anywhere; it reminds me a little of Safeco...or anywhere else. And they destroyed the feeling in Mon ument Park, the new one is like an afterthought" were her exact words.
@MANCHESTER UNITED why are you even here then? bitching that soccer is more popular than baseball is not going to turn more people onto the sport... it will turn them away if anything. BTW there's only 195 countries bozo
@MANCHESTER UNITED ok and your point when it comes to playoff baseball in the Bronx nobody beats that atmosphere
This was one of my all time favorite ALCS game to watch. Even to this day I still feel the intensity of this game and the 8th inning decion leaving Pedro in unreal.

This series was the World Series! Absolute classic..
When Baseball was at its best!
1:58:07 - A sight no Red Sox fan still wants to see.
Lenin Franco what if he was a Red Sox fan 😭😭
I never get tired of seeing this game...nyc
What was also amazing in the LCS' was three historic ballparks were involved
Red Sox left Pedro in wayyy too long
Dont remind me
groundbreaking analysis there bud
Thats what got Grady Little fired, which in turn led to the best coaching hire the Red Sox ever had. So maybe it was a blessing in disguise
The Red Sox then got Keith Foulke which was a huge upgrade.
2:58:15
PabloCruise91 his brother was enjoying the moment
Joe buck wasn’t though
Till this day as a Yankee fan, my favorite Yankee game of all time
Joe Buck has always understood when to be quiet and let the sound of the game speak for itself… but anytime he called an exhilarating moment, he couldn’t sound more bored. I know he doesn’t want to take away from the game, but he does the opposite by sounding like a robot. He has gotten much better recently, but he used to be a rough listen.
Rest in peace time Wakefield
"The Red Sox will never be the Yankees" THANK GOD !!!!
I can't believe it's been 10 years...I remember this game like it was yesterday.
It's been 10 years since you posted this comment... 😢🤯👀
I can't believe it's been 20 years !!! I remember it like it was 2 days ago
Aaron was LITERALLY speechless.......I mean, WOW!
1 of the killa B's! Boone, Babe, Bucky n Buckner! Buck Foston!!
+Mr E Hahahah. Bet that smile went away one year later.
David Dolan Not really. 1 time out of all the beatdowns we gave that team is basically just being due. For every '04, there were the killa b's, divisions, pennants and world series wins, before n after. Yankees have lost more World Series than that team has won. Let that sink in. Losing game 7 in the WS against Arizona hurt a hell of a lot more than '04. Being in a position to 4peat holds more weight than a team getting lucky for once. Yanks4life!!
+Mr E I respect your opinion. It's nice to hear fans that care more about losing a world series than a LCS.
+Mr E .......... Buck Foston will be Donald Trump's name when he has to go into gay porn after he looses his empire for having a big mouth !!!
One of the best games in MLB history.
Okay, I wasn't going to make anymore comments tonight on this game but I had forgotten Bret Boone had only seconds earlier been brought up into the broadcast booth!
What an amazing lifetime memory for both brothers to share!
Amazing!
This is actually the first time I've ever seen this, the Yankees winning game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.
