I will never forget those harrowing moments when his knuckle ball was moving like a butterfly and Varitek could barely keep it in front of him with the runner on 3rd. Most tense moments ever in sports.

Everyone who’s a Sox fan remembers this like it was yesterday.

Yes!!! I remember that very well. My wife, who had been watching the whole game, couldn't take it anymore and went upstairs to bed. Every pitch was pins and needles. Wakefield's knuckler was moving like crazy and Varitek, who didn't normally catch for Wakefield, couldn't handle the crazy movement, which resulted in the Yankees getting a runner to 3rd base, but neither could the Yankees hit it! Yeah, with the Red Sox facing elimination, that was easily the most tense inning ever.

@@jamespenny9482 Torre said, not sending Sierra was one of the worst non moves of his managerial life. If Sierra were on 2nd. Yanks win in 5. Boston caught break after break starting in game 4.

@@Surfer041 boston still would have won without sending sierra

Go all in!

@@thebillscast90 no they wouldn't have, he would have scored the go ahead run

Papi was a bum

Que bueno recuerdo 😃

My daughter and I were at fenway game 5...I had freaking chest pains omg I couldn't breathe lmao

@@mariemallahan4863 it was such an emotional roller coaster. And it lasted almost 6 hours, which is a long time to bottle up all that tension (on top of the 86 years Sox fans had been waiting).

Thinking back now...obviously Manny..Ortiz....all were amazing.....but the one who really has been forgotten about was Dave roberts....I hear so many talk 04 and I always remind them Dave Robert's stole....Derek Lowe threw freaking amazing.....Trot Nixon balls to the wall kinda player....Ortiz rallied everyone together....and the baseball gods smiled....and I had the pleasure of calling security and having the Yankee fans behind us removed 😆

@@PatrickClarkinAs someone who lives in the Midwest, I wonder how much you paid for those tickets because it must have been a hot ticket in Boston.

Hello

@@blessjohn4231 Do you know Scott? 🤔

​@Bless John do you know Scott 🧐🧐

Yeah, that is a great line

Incredible. Iconic

The game ended after midnight and there was a travel day which is why he said “tomorrow night” spectacular.

Nostalgic moment

@@canesinsider nope this game ended around 10pm, the travel day had been nixed due to rain so game 6 was the very next day in NY. In game 4 on the other hand, Buck’s call was “we’ll see you later tonight”, which was not only a tribute to his dad but also a reference to being after midnight and the fact that game 5 would take place later that day

"The" greatest series of all time. If anyone disputes that, I challenge them to name a better one. Never, before or since in any sport, has a team come from three games down to not only win the series, but go on to sweep the championship. The fact that they did it against their archenemies was absolutely priceless.

Yankees left 6 on base from innings 9-14. Very well could have ended the series. Was thinking how this game compared to game 4 as well...I think it gives it a run for its money.

@@TrueRGM Torre did not start Rivera in the 8th with a 2 run lead. Instead he waited until Gordon made a mess of everything. Torre handed the series to Boston.

@@TrueRGM I foolishy thought the Series was over after Game 3 and refused to watch Game 4. I was 15 years old at the time and I gave up on my Red Sox. Its my greatest regret as a Red Sox fan to miss Game 4. Luckily I saw Game 5 and witnessed my team fight back to force a Game 6.

It's the other way around. Sometimes, Game 4 is overlooked for this iconic Game.

I work third shift supposed to start at 11 but I got that night about 1 something probably 2:00 in the morning and I did enjoy the whole series I want Red Sox to win and they did I enjoyed a lot

Everyone should have walked Papi his whole career in those moments. Even with the bases juiced in the Detroit series in the 13 run would have been better off walking in a run. 😂

@@MYFAVORITES5 True! Instead, he blasted that line drive grand slam over Tory Holt's head into the bullpen and put the Red Sox back in the lead. Ortiz was just incredible, there's nobody like him in the clutch!

Truly an incredible night.. Just moved to NYC and found a Boston bar.. I'll never that week..fond memories

It was an abomination and it should never have happened.

Got my batting stance from Papi he was the man in Boston.

Pedro through Matsui a grand slam cookie on 2-0. Game would have been 8-2 had he swung.

​@@Surfer041 had Nixon dropped it yankees win 6-2 or 7-2

@@bigrich6075 Indeed

Turned off womens volley ball.

Yes and I got nauseated when I realized A rod won a ring and Moose never did.

Two rain outs, and the luckiest bounce in mlb history gifted you thos undeserved title.

I think he was right: I DON'T think he was actually tagged on the caught stealing.

I think it takes a team truly not giving a shit about past mistakes to break a curse like the Red Sox did. Damon stunk most of this series, but he never let it get to him-and he had a monster game 7. I suspect Ortiz genuinely didn't care about his caught stealing or his K's.

Homered in the 8th.

I feel like the umps should show some sort of understanding to the frustration of trying to put men on base and in scoring position in a close game that can end their season

@@ykJvacano Umpires don't like ball-and-strike confrontation, especially not from players who are very good. That's the other side of the coin.

Most skilled right-handed hitter I've ever seen.

Bueno

0 Rbi's in this series lol.

He hit into three double plays in this game! Mr. choke! F his swing.

Like a pendulum! I'll never forget the walk-off blast he hit in Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS against the Angels or Joe Castiglione's call "Deep into the night".

Metra BNSF Rails cheating probably....♾

Flatbush Massachusetts Astros.

WOW Now we all know why '' the Asstros won..

So your saying they where looking at the wall

I loved it so much cause he always burned the Yankees

One of the most beloved athletes not just in Boston. Thank God he didn't get killed that night in the DR!

Yeah they would have forced to tie it in the bottom of the 9th and that's no easy task.

The Red Sox was a great team from 2003 to 2013. That’s the reason they won 3 world series(2004,2007 and 2013) in that decade. It was the BIGGEST CHOCK IN ALL SPORT FOR THE YANKEES. The Red Sox had no fear and never gave up.

@@checoPH the Yankees had no brain, should have buried them in games 4 and 5. Torre did nothing to win that series. Leadoff walks in the 7th 8th and 9th of game 4, and he didn't steal, hit and run, nothing!

TV bu

I agree , Joe Buck didn't bring anything to the Game , same as Bob Costas , just another Pretty Face making a $Million Bucks bc he has to Introduce the Announcers and Play by Play man at the begining of the Game , WOW , Completely Worthless . . . .

Joe Buck made the most lackluster call of all time on Johnny Damon's Game 7 grand! His dad Jack was great, but maybe Joe just doesn't appreciate the game enough, if he can't get excited about a playoff game, and these were epic, he ought not be in that business.

Glad you survived them! Lol

Al igual que many fueron dos héroes

Yep he did the same thing in game 2 (Olerud HR), Francona made the same mistake as Grady in leaving Pedro in past 100 pitches, where later in his career he would lose effectiveness like clockwork. Martinez would have left with the lead or tied in both game 2 and 5 if Francona had pulled him at the 100 pitch mark. Francona got away with it because of his late-inning moves with Roberts and Mientkeiwicz that enabled the comebacks in games 4 and 5. Also his use of Foulke, who was an absolute warhorse, worked out perfectly

Yeah, that lineup was sick! Jeter, A-Rod, Sheffield, Matsui, Bernie, Posada... Red Sox pitching was nails, plus they had a little luck on their side.

Yup

Yea I saw MLBClassics had it on another channel. Not exactly sure why

TrueRGM I’m not sure if it’s because MLB Classics and fans hated hearing Joe buck broadcasting on FOX and it’s mostly hard for Joe buck haters to watch their games with him broadcasting. In my opinion I just don’t care what he broadcast when I watch my favorite sports teams play or postseason games.

That specific broadcast you're referring to is MLB International. In the St Louis and Houston area, that NLCS game was on FOX. For the rest of the country it was on FX. When FOX had both the NLCS and ALCS from 2001-2006 they would do this if they overlapped. 2007 was when FOX had an LCS and TBS had the other.

Yep. But in the St Louis and Houston markets, they switched over to the NLCS at First Pitch. The rest of the country got the entire ALCS

@@TrueRGM es. G lb la un

kind of, but one of their runners still could have scored arguably

RSOX get the LUCKIEST BREAK IN THEIR HISTORY!!!!!! OMG!!!!! THIS was game over if it didnt go into the stands!!!!

7 innings, 3 hits, no runs in game 3 of the World Series.

He had a few good games left. But even at this point he still had his control and could make hitters looks foolish.

@@christopherjamesboudoir He was an average pitcher in 2004, so terrible by his standards. He never regained the 97-02 dominance. also, his numbers after 100 pitches were trash, even in '03.

@@phillbr51 even in 04 an average pitcher was still better than most the crap out there.

@@phillbr51 I highly doubt that any starting pitcher is better after 100 pitches in a game than before

I thought so and the replay sure looked like it but hey, it's all water under the bridge now - LOL!
