2004 ALCS Game 7 Highlights | Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees 

Rj V, I'm a Cub fan but I'm right there with you.

@@wrigleyville were you one of the "Bartman haters?" lol

That’s the face we’ve had for 86 years. And then suddenly redemption

Same here!!! Go Sox!!

Complete Seinfeld. Yankees fans: 'We're George!!!'

Where did you get the number 55,000 from?

@@ericschuster2231 well the capacity of yankee stadium in 04 was 57,000

@@mitchellbryant7695 Ok but how does that answer the question?

@@mitchellbryant7695 - there were a couple of thousand Red Sox fans there, so Ben Escarcega's estimate of 55,000 silent Yankee fans is pretty accurate.

​@@ericschuster2231How are you having problems comprehending this?

Not a bad consequence of getting caught.

nice story, misses ufos and zombies, still nice!

I'd say that couldn't have worked out any better.

Not sure why you wouldn’t have been watching it. I’m assuming you didn’t live in the city of Boston, or Massachusetts for that matter. I was 18 and grew up 6 miles from Fenway Park, we were out in the streets partying!! It was something I will NEVER forget! Me and my grandfather! I ended up getting Sox “B” on my arm when I was stationed in Turkey a few years later in remembrance of my Grandfather and our love of the Sox, unfortunately I actually have an appointment next week to get it covered up with something else, because I know my Grandfather would feel EXACTLY how I do seeing what the Sox and baseball in general has become with their liberal politics. My grandfather, like me served in the military during war time, he was in the Navy during WWII and lost his sister ship and a lot of close friends as he had to watch her go down. I know for a fact he’d be rolling in his grave if he could see what baseball and the Sox specifically have become, continuing to push the BIG LIE and then letting an openly racist LeBigot James actually buy a piece of the team.....I’m actually glad he didn’t have to see his beloved team turn into this.....

I was 12 watching this one of the best moments of my life.

The Red Sox were good in 1999 as well and mad the ALCS that year ⁉⚾🏟

@@fiesta061000 The Sox got screwed by bad umpiring in 99 which sucked. This makes it all better though

2018 was just as beautiful. 16-1 and a hit for the cycle in the playoffs in their house was beautiful

@Bourg Productions 2004 was revenge against the Cardinals for 1946 and 2013 was revenge against the Cardinals for 1967. We need a rematch with the Mets for 1986 and Reds for 1975

Could it ever have gone through 2 other teams than New York and St. Louis and felt anywhere near that good? I think not.

really..? why? it was just the sox triumphing over the yanks.

Don't forget about all the Mets fans in NYC...

👍

Crazy thing about it is that this is an ALCS and this series is more famos and rememebered than the WS itself!

jgfunk exactly, for a few seconds after Damon was hosed at the plate it looked like this could be another Red Sox playoff embarrassment against the Yankees. Then Ortiz just murders the very next pitch and the crowd falls silent, huge sequence

Ortiz had a habit of just doing that.

I do always appreciate the grim determination on Damon's face when rounds the bases after the grand slam. He is sending the message that "we aren't done yet."

Exactly right- we Red Sox fans didn't even get a chance to get that sunken feeling; before we had even returned to our seats, we were up 2-0.

That was as if the Red Sox went from saying "Why not us?" to "Now,it is us!".

Without a doubt😂

Ivan Valentin yes me.

@@jk55fx I'm wishing for another great season bro. 👊👊

@@therapium Rooting for another awesome season bro. 👊👊👊

Heck yeah! That is awesome memories.

Hahahahahha, I have, about 5 times each, games 4, 5 ,6 and 7,during this lockdown. Still gives me goose-bumps! Great memories, watching those games with my passed-away father.

thx for sharing and I know how you feel. I lost my mom in 2000 and she wasn't just a big Sox fan. She was my biggest fan

He was winning pitcher in all 3 of the series that post season I believe

Yeah all of that on two days rest. Absolute legacy game.

@@wrldchamps04 yup…and this was after being dumped into the bullpen late in the regular season

I agree. It will always be overshadowed by what Game 6 was. But without David Lowe, The Steal, Ortiz' heroics and the Bloody Sock game would be another example of Boston heroic futility, just like the Fisk homer in 75

Probably could have gone another inning.

I remember what Pedro did the year before...but we still love him

@@Dhardy316 Nah it was all on Grady Little in 03

@@dakodagagnon2212 Wow, I havent heard that name in about as long as Mo Vaughn's!

@@TheEuropeanLad 05 White Sox>04 Red Sox

@@Theterminato2013 they had an easy playoff schedule they didn't have to play anyone with a good record lol. The 04 Red Sox had to eliminate a really good Angels team, came back 3-0 against the best team in the AL that season, and the swept the team with MLB's best record in 2004. So, no that's total bullshit. Obviously, the 2005 team was quite different from the 2004 team so that's why they got shit on by the White Sox. The 2005 White Sox were a fluke and The Red Sox have won 4 since breaking their curse.

Ben Drescher not really sir in my opinion the next HR was mostly.

Metra BNSF Rails And I still was nervous with a 6-0 lead in the 2nd.

@@rolfbernerske2786 I was still nervous until the final out was made. I was watching the game with my mother and when Joe Buck kept saying "the Red Sox are one out away" we kept shouting "shut up" at the television. My father was in another room, fearful even with a 10-3 lead of jinxing them.

James Trout I agree If you lived through ‘86 and what happened in Game 6 against the Mets, no lead ever felt safe.

@Ben Drescher. My boss was pissed when I walked in his office and told him. How about them Red Sox. He said, Don't you have work to do. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Especially after losing 19-8 at home in game three. And then so many times the Yankees were this (fingers practically touching) from putting it away.

I'm not really a fan of either team. I do respect this is one of the oldest sports rivalries of all time. I cheated and checked my facts to make sure. This was the series where in game 6 A-Rod made an ass out of himself by that baserunning act of stupidity! That night I was sitting in a sports bar in Atlanta watching that game. I remember listening to several people express a loss of respect for A-Rod after that. To this day almost 18 years later I still hold him in total contempt!

@@THE-michaelmyers Yeah. Before that season, Arod was ALMOST traded to the Red Sox. That trade being nixed by the MLB player association was the best thing to happen to the Sox.

In baseball history for sure

You can add the New England Patriots, down 28-3 in 3rd quarter of super bowl. Boston strong.

Sheffield and Arod non factors? Did you forget the first 3 games? They had video game numbers for the first 3 games. Sadly the yankees offense fell dramatically the last 4 games

Lance The Editor poor analysis, Sheffield and A-Rod were raking the first 3 games, along with Matsui and Bernie. Jeter was ice cold. All of those guys pretty much totally fell off the face of the earth during the second half of game 4 and never came back. Jeter actually got better as the series went on, coming out of his slump, but the problem was the rest of the team was now in a slump. Also the overhanging factor looming over all of this was the Yankees lack of pitching, their bullpen was good but way overtaxed from cleaning up the messes from a poor starting rotation. Kevin Brown and Javy Vazquez both sucked after the All Star Break, especially Brown who was also a headcase. Their ace was Mike Mussina, who I love, but he was not a true ace. Jon Lieber and El Duque were both coming off major injuries (neither guy threw a single pitch in 2003). They still could have won anyway if the Red Sox did not come up clutch against the GOAT closer, or if a bounce or two went their way (see Tony Clark’s ground rule double in the 9th inning of game 5 that could have ended the series if it stayed in play). But the reality is that by 2004 the Red Sox were the better team, maybe not the better offense, but the Red Sox offense was still very close to the Yankees and paired with far better pitching. The Yankees lost the offseason arms race in the 03-04 offseason where both teams were loading up, everybody thought the Yankees won by getting A-Rod, but it was actually the Red Sox pickup of Schilling (which Theo Epstein secured by attending Schilling’s family thanksgiving dinner) that turned out to be the Championship move. This played out in game 6 of this series as Lieber, fully healthy by then as evidenced by having outdueled Pedro Martinez in game 2, got outpitched by a Schilling on way less than 100%, and got outpitched pretty badly. Lieber gave up a 3 run home run to the Red Sox worst hitter, while Schilling, bloody sock and all, was a late Bernie home run away from going 8 shutout innings…

A-Rod's bitch slap on Arroyo's glove in the sixth game defined the "character" of the Yankees. And, yeah, Buck loved the Yankees and missed the greatest comeback in Sports' history (though the Pats' comeback against the Falcons-down 28-3 and coming back to win the Super Bowl might be in the same conversation).

Much respect thanks

AROD was A FRAUD in the post season.

Trust me, it absolutely does. I was there and i'll never experience such a morbid atmosphere again.

It's like a tattoo but in their mind. No liquor will fix that. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not at all it’s 2020 and as much as I hate the Red Sox Tim Wakefield deserved that. On another note though whenever they get back at it enjoy the basement for a long time 😉

Lee B since 2004 Boston has dominated you 2018 was a massacre but Yankees won’t be winning anything even if baseball in 2020

@@leeb905 that fact that you're on here trying to act like it doesn't bother you just shows it indeed does bother😂

No. Francona gave Yankees another chance at the seventh inning.

@@twogamer7149 they literally could've stopped scoring after Damon's grand slam and they still would've won😂

Agreed But even before the game, everyone knew the Yankees had no momentum at that point.

I'd have to go with the Buffolo Bills in the early 90's. i'm not a yankee fan but they at least won it all in 96, 98-2000 and 09.

Yankees still could have found a way to win though, it was home field and game 7, they simply gave up after game 6. Yankees should have stopped the comeback and we would still be chanting 1918 now. The Patriots would have been the greatest NFL team ever, but the Red Sox are better off being our punching bag.

This series broke the Yankees.

@@matthewdowling6549 Yeah even though the Yankees won the 2009 World Series they weren't really the same again after this loss.

I knew even before this game the Yankees had already lost. Didn't Torre say something similar as well?

And worst choke at the same time. It never gets old.

Up there with Moises Alou as one of the most underappreciated players of all time.

Only pitcher to be the winning pitcher in three post season clinching games.

Lowe's performance cannot be overstated. I wonder where the banner that claimed "not in our house" is today?

Still don't understand why Francona put Pedro in relief in G7. Made no sense and luckily it didn't cost them.

I don't know about "when baseball used to be good." this was when a lot of players were using roids a lot more than today

They traded heart breaking losses those 2 years. Great baseball. I was hoping for the 2007 ALCS to be the tiebreaker of the 00s.

@@dukedematteo1995 Yankees would have won. Sox got lucky in '07

Not even his slap on game 6 could save them... A-Roid to the pit of misery. Dilly dilly

How does it taste, A-Rod?!

They’re Yankee fans in OLD Yankee Stadium against the then cursed Red Sox. They believe in anything.

It takes balls to do that.

They had good reason to do it. The last time Pedro was on the mound in a Game 7 of the ALCS, the Sox coughed up a 5-2 lead. Fortunately they were up 8-1 and Pedro only coughed up two runs.....which were subsequently given back.

It’s easy to say that now. There was definitely a feeling of dread as the Yankees were getting to Pedro in that inning.

@My penis is incredibly small, but, That’s because they were hoping for a repeat of what happened in 2003.

RedSox Yeah makes sense

I was 1 and a half when this series happened, and my dad said he used to hold me at night while watching this series

That 27 they like to talk about will soon refer to the years its been since a world series at 11 now. Sox put them in their place once again.
