The greatest series comeback in playoff history is 100% the 2004 Red Sox. Nobody has done it before or since, it’s indisputable. Greatest single game comeback in Boston sports history is 28-3 against Atlanta.
I think the best part of this video is...you can scroll through the comments and see dozens of other Boston sports moments that could have easily been on this list. God damn I love my city. Hate us all you want, but we are one of the greatest sports cities in the country. Easily.
Gin Enjuyz boston was the first nba team to have a black coach so idk what you’re talking about. almost every fan base shouts racist slurs and takes peds or roids. half of the cheating “scandals” haven’t even been proven yet so
So blessed to have grown up in the Boston area during the golden age of triumphant moments.. for what I've been able to witness, I can go the rest of my life without seeing another championship won and die a happy man
I am glad you found the famous Bobby Orr 1970 Stanley Cup clinching goal with the late Fred Cusick's radio call. Many people have seen seen that goal with the commentary from CBS Sports' Dan Kelly.
I remember the moment so clearly. I was at my mom's house caring for her during chemo treatments. She was sleeping so I had to celebrate in quiet. I was loving it
I jumped out of my bed when that happened, and I shouldn't have done it since I had a severe herniated disc in my back that required surgery but totally worth it.
True. But didn't win lol, had we you'd have that on us forever. But the champinoships the yanks won were built on homegrown talent and signings like Oneill El Duque and Strawberry. Sox championships were due to Ortiz and Manny's (and others including Arroyo) steroid use. Sorry lol
That Vinatieri kick is so amazing. It's almost impossible to see the ball after it travels about 10 yards. I remember watching live and having no idea where it went, then going crazy when the ref raised his arms.
True story, I was watching the game at work in a lounge with customers. I saw the tuck fumble and thought the game was over and went back to work. I hear a roar a few mins later and "on to OT!" WTF? haha I am glad I got to see the OT at least
Every single one of these gave me goosebumps, but the crazy thing is there are also so many more moments. We’ve been very fortunate to have so many great teams and athletes play in our hometown
Top 10 Greatest Moment in Boston Sports 1. Red Sox Overcome 0-3 Deficit Against Yankees on Their Way to End the Curse 2. Patriots 28-3 Comeback 3. Bruins End a 39 Year Drought 4. Red Sox Win World Series at Fenway After Marathon Bombing 5. Bobby Ore’s Goal in the 1970 Stanley Cup 6. Adam Vinatieri’s Super Bowl Winning Kick Starts the Patriots Dynasty 7. Celtics Comeback in the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals 8. The Tuck Rule Sparks Patriots Dynasty 9. Celtics Stomp Lakers in 1984 and 2008 NBA Finals 10. Malcolm Butler Interception
I'm from Virginia We don't have Mush But since I was a Little Little Kid,And I'm 35 Now, I have been A Boston Fanatic And I Have Always Said This To Anyone, Never Ever Fuck With Boston, PERIOD! I LOVE My Boston Sports, and Boston's AWESOME People!!!!!!
Great job! There are so many fantastic moments in Bostn Sports, you almost have to do 1 video on the Red Sox, one on the Patriots, etc. People are gonna have their favorites. Mine is Petrocelli catching the popup to reach the World Series / Impossible Dream team at 100-1 odds. Of course, this happened before most of you were born! (I was 12 years old)
Bro, he included the big plays that made those victories happen. The Grand slam by Victorino and Ortiz's is a toss up.. But Ortiz means more to this city obviously. Also, there isn't really a GREAT play involved with the Celtics in 2008.. They just embarrassed LA.
You could make an incredible video with all the moments left out of this video. Boston sports, man. We’re spoiled, and damn is it a fun duckboat to be in.
People tend to forget that Carbo set the table for Fisk. And also, Evans catch against the bullpen wall and throw Game 6 1975 could be its own highlight reel.
Just got the craziest chills watching Ortiz smack that grand slam... I remember watching that with a beer in my hand and pretty I spilt it everywhere because I went absolutely wild when I saw that ball jump off the bat.
I'm about as far from Boston as you can be living in the SF area... Who is the most beloved athlete in Boston sports? Brady? Ortiz? Bird? Being an outsider Boston seems like one of the best sports cities in the world.
Vinatieri's Superbowl-winning field goal against the Rams in 2001 is one of the biggest sports moments in sports history. Period. Leaving that out of this video was ridiculous.
I agree with you Dargan. This was a great list. The only omission and I understand it was the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Gold Medalists lead by Craig/Eruzione. They weren't simply Boston, but they had two enormous Boston contributors and two secondary ones in Silk and OC.
+Joseph Fenerty You had better bone up on history 1)Did not fly any missions in WWW2....2)Did fly MANY missions in Korea, 3)big CHOKE in 46 Series (5 singles) 4)48 & 49 playoff vs NY did nothing Joltin Joe DiMAggio MUCH better player............
JayTheNeonBlood "BERGERON SCORES, PATRICE BERGERON!!! And with the point of the dagger to their throats, they ripped it right out of Toronto's hands, and KILLED THE BEAST!!!!!"
I think Henderson's home run off Donnie Moore should have been on this list, and Vinatieri's kick vs. Rams (first walk-off win in a Super Bowl ever). Among those not mentioned, the triple overtime Game 5 of the 1976 Celtics-Suns finals was really something. Havlicek's basket with 1 second left in second overtime which gave the Celts a 1 point lead had the team already leaving the court, before they were called back and after a technical foul free throw, Gar Heard's basket set it to a third overtime, where they won by 2. But I guess it is really hard to keep it to just 10.
Ed Vega True. 10 is pretty arbitrary number. I tried to focus on championship seasons, except for Bird's steal and Fisk's homer. I like plays that happen when it looks like they're going to lose, and someone does something to save the game.
Richard S. Dargan Pretty darn good choices...could only argue for Vinatieri's first SB winning kick be included as it started the transformation to Title Town!
Richard S. Dargan Yes, it's an arbitrary number, but don't get me wrong. It is a tremendous list. Vinatieri's SB XXXVI game winner may be included if you have an honorable mention.
I agree with this list, but if your gunna show the 04 sox show them breaking the curse in game 4 of the WS. As for the pats I think white's TD in OT to cap off the greatest comeback should be there over vinitari
1. Final out in 2004 2. Edelman catch against Atlanta 3. Bruins come back against Toronto 4. Roberts steals second 5. Edelman pass against Baltimore 6. Papi's grand slam against Detroit 7. Horton's injury (IK that wasn't good but admit it. We would never have beaten Vancouver without it) 8. Butler interception 9. Horton's OT winner in Game 7 10. Fisk hits the foul pole
Boston needs a top 25. Let me just say this, the Fisk thing was big for awhile cause they had nothing else. But they have won three WS since. Give it a rest. Yes it was big, but THEY LOST THE WORLD SERIES, time to let that go.
I'm totally agree with the list, I mean who even remember the 2004 world series, and who cares if the red Sox came back from 3-0 vs the Yankees in order to win the first championship in almost a hundred years.
04 ALCS the comeback of the century, patriots first Super Bowl and of course the 28-3 Atlanta game. Bruins v Leafs when they got 2 goals with an empty net to tie then won in ot... to many to count
Boston-Toronto Game 7, Celtics 08, Tom Brady's final drive in SB 36 should be the best for the pats, and of course, Sox winning in 04 is the undisputed best ever for this city.
Idk if it would make it...but the Bruins comeback against the leafs in the playoff was the most excited I have ever been watching a sports game
It should be in here.
That would be #1 on my list
@MANCHESTER UNITED um ok cool. Don't remember asking
@M you enjoy soccer, ,,go find it then.
How do you not have the Bergeron OT goal on here. That was the greatest comeback in playoff history. It was absolutely unbelievable
I agree
The greatest series comeback in playoff history is 100% the 2004 Red Sox. Nobody has done it before or since, it’s indisputable. Greatest single game comeback in Boston sports history is 28-3 against Atlanta.
I think the best part of this video is...you can scroll through the comments and see dozens of other Boston sports moments that could have easily been on this list. God damn I love my city. Hate us all you want, but we are one of the greatest sports cities in the country. Easily.
meh... roids, racism, really obvious cheating.
Cheating there was no proof don't remember roids and racism? Wasnt all of america racist
Gin Enjuyz boston was the first nba team to have a black coach so idk what you’re talking about. almost every fan base shouts racist slurs and takes peds or roids. half of the cheating “scandals” haven’t even been proven yet so
Gin Enjuyz Jealous, obnoxious, unoriginal taunt - probably the fan of some city a New England based team has beaten ... over and over and over ...
THE greatest
So blessed to have grown up in the Boston area during the golden age of triumphant moments.. for what I've been able to witness, I can go the rest of my life without seeing another championship won and die a happy man
Sox Pats and Celts should win one + in the next 3 years! LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER
What about the Bruins after the season they had last year.
I am glad you found the famous Bobby Orr 1970 Stanley Cup clinching goal with the late Fred Cusick's radio call. Many people have seen seen that goal with the commentary from CBS Sports' Dan Kelly.
Horton's goal still gives me chills
I'll always be proud to say that I was at the Ortiz grandslam game, unbelievable!
Same man. I caught the ball.
Greysen Gagné How it was caught by the bullpen catcher
Greysen Gagné liar BOI there was no body there idiot
You didnt catch it the bullpen did lol
I remember the moment so clearly. I was at my mom's house caring for her during chemo treatments. She was sleeping so I had to celebrate in quiet. I was loving it
Boston and Toronto Game 7 when the Bruins came back from a 3 goal deficit close to the end of regulation
If only they won the fuckincup though :/. It would have made that so much more memorable..
Mark Curtis "BERGERON, BERGERON, BERGERON!!!!" holy shit I screamed so loud at that I couldn't talk for a week
Greysen Gagné I know when stupid Chicago came back I fricken wanted to scream lol
Mark Curtis exactly what I thought of. My god that was the most epic Bruins moment of my life.
That was on my birthday
The 2013 ALCS grandslam by Ortiz was epic
People give Joe Buck a lot of shit, say what you will about the guy but the "Tie Game!" call he made was pretty damn good.
still hurts me to this day (Tigers fan)
Josh W ikr
My favorite play in Boston sports history. All time, that is #1
I jumped out of my bed when that happened, and I shouldn't have done it since I had a severe herniated disc in my back that required surgery but totally worth it.
red sox ending the curse in 04 should be here
+H0wAb0utAaQu1cksc0p3 the stolen base play by dave roberts was in game 4
that started that comeback against the yankees which led to the championship.
They cheated though
Ali Kringel Just Like you at that same time.
True. But didn't win lol, had we you'd have that on us forever. But the champinoships the yanks won were built on homegrown talent and signings like Oneill El Duque and Strawberry. Sox championships were due to Ortiz and Manny's (and others including Arroyo) steroid use. Sorry lol
Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, argument invalid.
That Vinatieri kick is so amazing. It's almost impossible to see the ball after it travels about 10 yards. I remember watching live and having no idea where it went, then going crazy when the ref raised his arms.
Aye, another real patriots fan!
True story, I was watching the game at work in a lounge with customers. I saw the tuck fumble and thought the game was over and went back to work. I hear a roar a few mins later and "on to OT!" WTF? haha I am glad I got to see the OT at least
Whoever took the video of no.1, great job sir/madam. That was magic!
Thanks for everything Johnny and Gil for the happy memories
Every single one of these gave me goosebumps, but the crazy thing is there are also so many more moments. We’ve been very fortunate to have so many great teams and athletes play in our hometown

"The Pass" by Doug Flutie.
I'm from Virginia
We don't have Mush
But since I was a Little Little Kid,And I'm 35 Now,
I have been A Boston Fanatic
And I Have Always Said This To Anyone, Never Ever Fuck With Boston, PERIOD!
I LOVE My Boston Sports, and Boston's AWESOME People!!!!!!
"THE BRUINS KNOCKOUT MONTREALLLLL." My favorite Boston sports call.
Great job! There are so many fantastic moments in Bostn Sports, you almost have to do 1 video on the Red Sox, one on the Patriots, etc. People are gonna have their favorites. Mine is Petrocelli catching the popup to reach the World Series / Impossible Dream team at 100-1 odds. Of course, this happened before most of you were born! (I was 12 years old)
Love the video. I would say an honorable mention would be the ground out to Foulke to end the Curse of the Great Bambino.
Roids don't count. (If that were true this video would be void of baseball footage)
Ali Kringel So I guess 96, 98,99, 00 and 09 Don't count for you. Get your head out of your ass
I think the Roberts steal is the one play that everyone remembers most about that year. The world series was anti-climatic.
I just got back from Boston and I heard the foul pole story and I watched the WRECK the A’s
Victorino's 2013 grand slam? Celtics 2008 finals? Red Sox 2013 World Series?
+Trevor Lamberton Couldn't really find one standout play for that Celtics team. For the 2013 Sox, I went with Ortiz' grand slam.
+Richard S. Dargan Ortiz Grand Slam is epic. Still gives me chills.
Kevin Garnett's incredible 3 point play that really ignited the blowout would be my call just mho though
Bro, he included the big plays that made those victories happen. The Grand slam by Victorino and Ortiz's is a toss up.. But Ortiz means more to this city obviously. Also, there isn't really a GREAT play involved with the Celtics in 2008.. They just embarrassed LA.
Ortiz is a roid user.
Schilling's bloody sock and the 2004 curse ending are definitely in the top 10, with the 2004 Red Sox , to me, being #1.
04sox epic! 28-3comback well don't make me pick one.
Dude, this is a good video. But you should do like a "top 30".. There's been so many other great moments.
A top 10 does not do justice for Boston sports since 2001.
Too many to list,28-3against Atlanta was one hour of jaw dropping plays.bobby Orr 1970 should be there.
The Don Nelson shot? amazing video
2004 world series win....hello....impact on New England/Boston 86 slaming years of impact
You could make an incredible video with all the moments left out of this video. Boston sports, man. We’re spoiled, and damn is it a fun duckboat to be in.
Bobby Orr...The Greatest. Game 6 HR by Bernie Carbo was a great moment.
People tend to forget that Carbo set the table for Fisk. And also, Evans catch against the bullpen wall and throw Game 6 1975 could be its own highlight reel.
thx for video and love it!
You can't do just a top ten list. The last twenty years of Boston sports have been so unreal.
I have to say, that was one hell of a throw by Posada. Roberts got a great jump on Mariano, and it was still a bang-bang play.
Just got the craziest chills watching Ortiz smack that grand slam... I remember watching that with a beer in my hand and pretty I spilt it everywhere because I went absolutely wild when I saw that ball jump off the bat.
Man I love my city
It's not your city dude. Are you the mayor of the city? Did you purchase the city? Do you even own a sports team? No? It is OUR city, not only yours.
Bejman13 honestly just shut the hell up
Always loved seeing the big fella round the bases
Can't argue with these...there's others you could put, but the essentials are there.
This was just a wonderful video IF you are from Boston, and I am. THANK YOU
I'm about as far from Boston as you can be living in the SF area... Who is the most beloved athlete in Boston sports? Brady? Ortiz? Bird? Being an outsider Boston seems like one of the best sports cities in the world.
That's a really tough question...there have been a lot of greats. I'm from the Boston area and I honestly couldn't pick just one.
Brady, Orr, Ortiz and Russell easily top 4.
Depends on how old you are and the era you lived really
It’s probably Orr
I would say either bird or brady
I'm a die hard Yankees fan and hate the red cocs but dam when Papi hit that grand slam it gavee me chills
Skankees vs red cocks
Classy of you to mention that.
WWE On Trampoline He hit it for you and all the other punk ass Yankees fans
Proud New Englander ! Moved to GA but never miss a B's , Sox, Pats or Celt's game on TV
I understand that this was a series, but to me the sox coming back against the yankees in 04 is tops. U N B E L I E V A B L E!
watching this video again, big papi is amazing. sorry for those gunshot wounds!
love the redsox, hate every other sports team in boston lol. but you guys are lucky to have so many great teams!
I think it's safe to say that you have to update this video and put the pats 28-3 super bowl comeback at number 1
#1in my book, about an hour of OMG moments.sox in 04 alot had to go right there over 4 games.
Coming back from 3-0 to the Yankees was probably better then winning the World Series. Unfuckingbelieavable
1:56 The guy that takes the ball 😂
Vinatieri's Superbowl-winning field goal against the Rams in 2001 is one of the biggest sports moments in sports history. Period. Leaving that out of this video was ridiculous.
+Stoolie33 Tie game in a dome. Snow kick down by 3 was a greater play, no Super Bowl without it.
I agree with you Dargan. This was a great list. The only omission and I understand it
was the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Gold Medalists lead by Craig/Eruzione. They weren't simply Boston, but they had two enormous Boston contributors and two secondary ones in Silk and OC.
KMK7355 Good call. Significant Boston connections with that team.
Boston is my home and it will always be. Proud Bostonian
Great video one thing u should add though is game 7 when the Bruins came back to beat the Maple Leafs
+Fire Strings No doubt, that was a great moment.
Some cities wouldn't have 10,we have about 50.
Gotta love this!
The Mount Rushmore of Boston sports. Bobby Orr, Ted Williams, Tom Brady, and tie Larry Bird and Bill Russell.
Jim Barber mount rushmore only has 4 people...
Mine is Williams Ortiz Brady and Orr
john johnson yeah...well our's needs to be 5!!!
+Jim Barber Bill Russell and everyone else............Ted who?
+Joseph Fenerty You had better bone up on history 1)Did not fly any missions in WWW2....2)Did fly MANY missions in Korea, 3)big CHOKE in
46 Series (5 singles) 4)48 & 49 playoff vs NY did nothing Joltin Joe DiMAggio MUCH better player............
Insert 2017 Tom Bradys comeback
Would the 1 play be Edelman's catch? Or the TD?
BlueHen123 I think the comeback in general is just a great Boston sports moment
I was at the game. Fenway was literally shaking.
Might need to review this list
You could fill the whole video with highlights from 2004, but Papi's homer to win Game 4 of ALCS is what sticks out most to me.
Well done.
How do you not include Schilling's bloody sock performance? Timing, degree of difficulty & significance of the game are all off the charts.
Boston VS Toronto Game 7?
JayTheNeonBlood "BERGERON SCORES, PATRICE BERGERON!!! And with the point of the dagger to their throats, they ripped it right out of Toronto's hands, and KILLED THE BEAST!!!!!"
How does Ortiz's game 4 walkoff in 2004 not make this list? Or his game 3 walkoff?
I think Henderson's home run off Donnie Moore should have been on this list, and Vinatieri's kick vs. Rams (first walk-off win in a Super Bowl ever). Among those not mentioned, the triple overtime Game 5 of the 1976 Celtics-Suns finals was really something. Havlicek's basket with 1 second left in second overtime which gave the Celts a 1 point lead had the team already leaving the court, before they were called back and after a technical foul free throw, Gar Heard's basket set it to a third overtime, where they won by 2. But I guess it is really hard to keep it to just 10.
Ed Vega True. 10 is pretty arbitrary number. I tried to focus on championship seasons, except for Bird's steal and Fisk's homer. I like plays that happen when it looks like they're going to lose, and someone does something to save the game.
Richard S. Dargan Pretty darn good choices...could only argue for Vinatieri's first SB winning kick be included as it started the transformation to Title Town!
Richard S. Dargan Yes, it's an arbitrary number, but don't get me wrong. It is a tremendous list. Vinatieri's SB XXXVI game winner may be included if you have an honorable mention.
The Bruins comeback against Toronto in game 7 could be there too
Absolutely
I agree with this list, but if your gunna show the 04 sox show them breaking the curse in game 4 of the WS. As for the pats I think white's TD in OT to cap off the greatest comeback should be there over vinitari
1. Final out in 2004
2. Edelman catch against Atlanta
3. Bruins come back against Toronto
4. Roberts steals second
5. Edelman pass against Baltimore
6. Papi's grand slam against Detroit
7. Horton's injury (IK that wasn't good but admit it. We would never have beaten Vancouver without it)
8. Butler interception
9. Horton's OT winner in Game 7
10. Fisk hits the foul pole
Imagine how difficult it would be trying to make a _Top 10 Buffalo Sports Moments_ video.
I’m going to dental school here. Love the sports!
City of champs!
What’s the song played after the field goal in the second clip?
"Rock and Roll" by Gary Glitter
LOL @ the pen catcher casually making that catch 4:03
that series against montreal in 2011, epic
Fisks homerun happend on October 19 not the 22nd
there is too many great moments for just ten
BOSTON, YOU'RE MY HOME!
Who is the guy that got the ball on the Hondo shot?
Was about to complain about no Edelman catch when I saw the release date.
Where is the Game 6 final out?
28-3 add it to the list!
Boston needs a top 25. Let me just say this, the Fisk thing was big for awhile cause they had nothing else. But they have won three WS since. Give it a rest. Yes it was big, but THEY LOST THE WORLD SERIES, time to let that go.
Fisk used to say they won that World Series 3 games to 4.
It was a great moment what's the problem?
You're gonna have to update this
Another one happened this year
this is valid almost every year
The 2013 game 7 against Toronto man how do you leave that out
Ortiz Grand Slam will always be my favorite....
Great video, but... it's lacking some key moments. And you had the wrong audio for 'the steal by bird'.
Wilhelm CoolMoD I agree...the Johnny Most radio call is so much more exciting...what an epic play!
Hell ya! I respect all the other teams, but, "I love that dirty water... oh, Boston you're my home."
How about Eruzione's goal?
Ronald Nixon that was in new york
Peter Tang He went to BU fuckfaace
The comeback against the falcons in the super bowl should be there
bergerons ot goal vs toronto 2013?
1:35 The game of the tuck rule
I'm totally agree with the list, I mean who even remember the 2004 world series, and who cares if the red Sox came back from 3-0 vs the Yankees in order to win the first championship in almost a hundred years.
Need Vinatieri's Super Bowl 36 kick
What about the Bruins comeback against the maple leafs?
Im not a Boston fan but I would think the red Sx in 2004 winning the Series would be #1 breaking an 80 year old curse
Ortiz blast in game 4
His single in game 5
The final out in the World Series
Variety shoving aroid
Roberts steal
5 moments from one season
Why isn't the final out in the 2004 World Series in here
top ten David Ortiz moments
04 ALCS the comeback of the century, patriots first Super Bowl and of course the 28-3 Atlanta game. Bruins v Leafs when they got 2 goals with an empty net to tie then won in ot... to many to count
If there was another top-10 would Flutie's pass be included? Definitely Dave Henderson's home on that was that was as big as anything.
I think so, it's iconic to Boston Sports
way too many moments to have a top 10 list
4:00 that catch is a savage
Boston-Toronto Game 7, Celtics 08, Tom Brady's final drive in SB 36 should be the best for the pats, and of course, Sox winning in 04 is the undisputed best ever for this city.
One that's missing from this list - Ray Bourque and Phil Espositio
Birds steal was the original immaculate interception lol Havlicek is close but not quite the same
The Urbina for Lowe and Varitek trade should be on here, lol.
now the 25 point comeback would have to be here
How do you not use the Johnny Most call on the Bird steal? Rookie move pal!
