    My god this is such a core memory for me. This was the most baseball I can possibly imagine experiencing. Every single Massachusetts city and town absolutely lived and died with every moment. They made announcements about it on the high school PA system. Surreal.

      Grew up in Maine and watching Ortiz and Brady in the early and mid 00s was surreal. When I learned the crushing history of Boston sports in the last decades it made me appreciate it all so much more. 12 titles in 20 years. Idc if I never see any of them win again. I saw more than in most fans dreams.

Despite the amount of alcohol consumed, I'll never forget being at UMASS Lowell and watching this with my friends there. And the feeling of watching that team complete the historic comeback, in the wake of the 2003 ALCS, on the back of Ortiz's heroics.

      It flaired up again after the Joe Kelly fight in 2018 but once that season was over and my (our?) Sox went back to being wildly inconsistent as to whether or not they succeed it died out pretty fast. Shame, the sports a lot more fun when Sox/Yanks are at each other's throat.

    Millar’s “don’t let us win today!” is a rally cry I hear so often in Massachusetts to this day. Even if it’s used as a joke, it became an iconic line that spurned one of the most memorable comebacks in sports history.
    Millar going on to basically outline the pitching plan to Game 7 and saying “then it’s anybody’s game.” makes the legend of the quote even better.

    Fun fact: the 2005 Sox raised the banner with the Yankees on the sideline, and the cheer that went up for Rivera thanking him for the blown save was deafening. He tipped his cap with a grin because he got it. I hate the Yanks, but with him and Jeter, I hate them because they were never Sox. Anyway, I was diagnosed with an aggressive blood clotting disorder in May of ‘04, and part of those shenanigans have involved three strokes that have shot my memory. But I will never forget this series and that team, and have been wanting you guys to do something on this series since the channel started. So thrilled to finally see it (and not have to wait 86 years for it.) Now it’s time for my 192883756th rewatch of “Faith Rewarded.”

      People always remember the 19-8 pileup from Game 3, but the first two games of the series weren't so one-sided.
      Yanks got out to a huge lead in Game 1 while Mussina had a perfect game going into like the 7th inning, but the Sox stormed back and made it really sweaty at the end. Game 2 was also tight as well and both games actually required Mariano coming in to close the door. Game 3 finished as a blowout, however, people probably forget that it was a back-and-forth slugfest for the first few innings before the Yankees pulled away.
      Every game that series was tense with the only exception being Game 7. Damon got thrown out at the plate in the first inning and just as Boston fans were about to let the "here we go again" negativity creep in, Ortiz crushes the next pitch into the seats. The grand slam by Damon that happened later made it a formality, but I knew it was over right there when Ortiz killed the crowd with that home run.
      I'm a diehard Yankees fan by the way. What transpired in 2004 was about as catastrophic as it gets, but since then I've developed a legitimate morbid curiosity when it comes to revisiting that series. I hated that the Yanks lost to the Red Sox in historical fashion, but I can't shake the warm feelings of nostalgia looking back all those years later. Maybe it is because the rivalry was so good back then that it's hard not to look back now with fondness.

      @@pat-rick8686 The Yankees were definitely an offensive juggernaut, but their starting pitching was suspect all year and finally exposed itself in the playoffs. No longer having the likes of Pettitte/Clemens/Wells - guys with established playoff resumes - was a void they were never able to overcome. Their game plan was simply to mash enough to get the ball to Mo.
      The Yankees biggest strength in 2003 was their starting pitching depth and that became their biggest weakness in 2004. Meanwhile, the Sox biggest weakness was starting pitching depth (after Pedro) and not having a legitimate closer. Both of those needs were addressed when they signed Schilling and Keith Foulke who were huge impact players for them in 2004.

      @@aznpikachu215 I'd argue 0-3 in baseball is harder to come back from than 28-3 in football. Patriots only had to win one game, the Red Sox had to win 4... in a row. In a game as volatile as baseball, especially in the postseason, it's incredibly easy to drop 1 of 4 games even if you have a great team. The Red Sox were clear underdogs that series too, even before going down 0-3. Don't get me wrong 28-3 is ridiculous but 0-3 was considered impossible until they did it. Gets even crazier when you consider that the Sox had to face the best closer of all time down a run in the bottom of the 9th with their season on the line and somehow managed to tie it up to live another day.

    The world knew Roberts was going. Literally every person watching that game knew he was going. Game on the line, best closer of all time, pitch run, up the middle from a mediocre hitter, the spin as he gets up from sliding into home... One of my favorite childhood memories

      a mediocre hitter? Bill Mueller won the AL batting title with the sox and has a near 300 career average. Just for giggles he also hit a walk off GS against Rivera earlier that year during the "fight game" that turned the season around. He has a 455 career average against Mariano Rivera the greatest closer of all time.....but Bill owned him...He is also the only player to have a 3 HR game where he hit 2 GS one from each side of the plate

    So spring 2005, I'm in FT. Myers, Florida. It's a rainy day, so me and my buddy got to the mall in FT. Myers. it's about 10am and the mall just opened. We walk in and directly walk into theusic store. There were already people in the store. I kinda noticed how tall one of them was. I look up and standing before me is David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Edgar Renteria, and Renteria's father. I was in such a shock, I couldn't say anything. I just kinda stared. My buddy was struck too. We didn't ask for any autographs and I think they appreciated that. I should've got one but...oh well. I will never forget who I saw and how struck I was. Keep up the great work bruddah
