The reason I wept watching this is because I am 63 years old, I have watched the most heart wrenching years of my life being a Sox fan, I cannot tell you how many times they broke-my heart until 2004, I love my Red Sox and will till my last day on this earth. Same goes for the Bruins,, Celtics and Pats. It is how we are brought up here in New England
Indianapolis born and raised but I am a die hard Red Sox fan since I was first introduced into baseball in 1999. Been to 10 total Red Sox home games (6 regular season, 4 playoffs) also the only reason I was in Boston. I will cheer for my Red Sox win or lose
As a fellow New Englander I agree that even in our worst times we strive to find a light and a beacon of hope many of those said times we turn to sports to prove to the world that no matter what happens we will not give up and our determination to persevere will be known by the world. The biggest example of this was after the Boston marathon bombing, it shook me to the core knowing that I almost went to see it in person where the first bomb went off. If something didn’t unexpectedly happen I might have not been here today to write this comment. As the marathon passed people looked to sports and the Red Sox came out on top to win the World Series which in my opinion was the biggest after 2004. I remember this quote and I still agree as I will always will about what David Ortiz said about this city after the bombing, “this is our fucking city”
Technically, the word "great" has more than one definition. The more popular definition is when a person uses it as a "great thing." Another definition is basically "great things" meaning things that are extremely influencial and not necessarily "good."
This is the only team I know that does stuff like that. They show a video of "Greatest Moments" with the worst ones. They are the only team that I know that celebrate past teams that LOST!!! No other sports teams in the world does this. Kind of embarrassing to be honest.
Boston Red Sox fan forever we are and forever will be the #1 Baseball Team History will never forget about us or our heros Thank You David Ortiz #BostonStrong
I'm 17 years old guy and David Ortiz's 2013 ALCS Home Run is always my favorite moment of all time. I wish I can see another world series win from Red Sox.
For a Red Sox fan, the world changed when Roberts stole that base. If there is one seminal moment where a fan can say, “THERE...that is where it all changed. That is where the curse died,” it was that single moment in time.
I was far to young to feel the entire weight of 1986 but I vividly remember the pain and shock that surrounded game 7 of the 03 ALCS. I can still hear the call by Joe Buck during Posadas at bat, "A flare into centerfield.. out is Walker he wont get it, the baserunning of Matsui.. nobody covers 2nd..tie game!" when he said "nobody covers 2nd" those 3 words crushed me, bc in that moment I think i caught a glimpse of what so many older Sox fans felt so many times up until then. For me thats why 2004 was so heavy emotionally bc it brought generations of family, friends, neighbors so much joy, relief and satisfaction. It was incredible
Pedro's 17 strikeouts against the Yankees in Sept.10-99 was one of the greatest performances in sports.Doing that against the World Champs should have been mentioned as one of the greatest achievements in Red Sox history.
Uhhhh this may be the best video all time on RU-vid. I LOVE this. Music selection is perfect. Great job and thanks! I just repeated "It's into the bullpen, this game is tied, this game is tied, David Ortiz, David Ortiz, David Ortiz" about 25 times. Awesome!
I still hate that fans blamed Buckner. And then had the audacity to be like, "We forgive you" after 2004. We still had another game to play after this one and still lost that game too! It was not on Buckner.
Hey man. I'm writing scripts for a few commentary videos atm. I'll probably release one tommorow if I can edit in time. I'll see the response it gets and if people dislike it, I'll go back to my usual highlights.
The Red Sox beating the Cardinals in the World Series in 04 was like the U.S Olympic hockey team beating Finland for the gold medal in 1980. All most people remember is the USA beating the Russians that year.
I do not understand a bit of this game but I can take part in everybody's exctacy because we humans are basically the same. We love competitiveness and merit. Let it be so always but not at the cost of our lives.
@@callisto5810 Na Verdugo was a great trade as his numbers and feilding % have been almost better than Mookie's. Then Jeter Downs will own the yankees for the next 5-7 years. I'd say Red-Sox are just another 2018 Giants rn but, 2-4 years from now the Sox will be a really solid 90+ win team.
