Top 10 home runs in Boston Red Sox history 

Can't watch this without getting goosebumps. Born a Sox fan and will die a Sox fan!

That Ortiz grand slam vs Detroit is my favorite moment in Boston sports history. I literally looked at my TV yelling "Save us Saint Ortiz" over and over. And he did

The 2004 WS Game 1 Bellhorn HR is underrated, we were still deep in the curse, the game went back and forth, errors cost us all game, then 8th inning, bang, put us up for good

"We'll see you later tonight.." Will always be my favorite..

Damon’s two grand slams will always be my favorite memory. Watching my dad for the first time actually get excited since he watched them lose his whole life was really amazing. RIP dad

That Hendu HR was something special... I was 13 years old and thought it was going to be a pop fly. I went to turn off the TV because I hated seeing other teams celebrate after beating mine. Back in those days we didn't have a remote control so I had to walk up to the TV. By the time I got there it was a homerun.

My $.02...Victorino’s grannie in the 2013 ALCS should have cracked that list.

Victorino's Grand Slam should have been on this list and Johnny Damon's Grand Slam was the most important Home Run in Red Sox History because basically it helped break the curse to the Spankees in 2004 and helped them win it all for the first time in 86 years! The Sox winning 4 straight after being down 0-3 was one of the greatest things I've seen in sports!

This list is just all over the map, but, for people of a certain generation, you got #1 right.

Man, Victorino’s slam against the Tigersin 2013 game 6 ALCS. Flew from Texas with my son to watch the game. Greatest night in sports in my life.

I’ll never forget the 2004 Sox! And Papi hitting that homer where Torii Hunter flipped over the wall!! Fckn LOVE my Red Sox!!

Ortiz is something else, they're down 5-1 in the eighth inning, two outs, bases loaded, he hits a BOMB into the bullpen that takes Tory Hunter with it! Legend!!

Papis grand slam is #1 and i wont be told otherwise. The situation, the year, the theatrics, the tv and radio call.

Shane Victorino's GS againt DET in 2013 should be in

I was born in Providence in 1968, I saw everyone of these homers. Great memories!

My favorite is Bernie Carbo's 8th inning shot against the Reds in the 75' Series.The Red Sox were 4 outs away from extinction. Carbo has two strikes on him with two out in the 8th and he BARELY got a piece of the previous pitch to keep the at-bat alive by a thread. Next pitch he goes deep--it was like Lazarus being raised from the dead! Fenway EXPLODED--WOW--the old park was SHAKING!! (And Joe Garagiola's call was EPIC--he captured the drama of that moment beautifully!!)

#1 is the GREATEST homer in the history of the post season. The feeling of experiencing it, in real time, was incredible. I hope there are other moments like this for other generations and other fan bases. We should all be so lucky!

I knew what #1 would be and still watched every second. Man, I'll NEVER get sick of that homer. "We'll see you later tonight!". Oh yes, we certainly DID see later that night 😎

Bernie Carbo coming off the bench to tie game six of the World Series while high on cocaine has got to be one of the greatest moments in sports history.

I hope there's a 20th anniversary parade for the 2004 red sox team. Unforgettable experience. It transcended sports. I was a senior in high school and school was basically optional or acceptable to be used as recovery from staying up so late for the games- which were ending like 5 hours before we had to get up for work/ school. 2004 was so big that you can still get Yankees fans to be quiet today by bringing it up 😂

Fisk hit the biggest home run in team history no question about it even though they lost game 7 it was viewed by 75 million people that night. Its still up there with Bill mazaroski and Joe Carter

The Tigers Ortiz homer is probably my favorite live sports moment ever

Sox fans are blessed to have so many HR options that boot Fisk's '75 extra-innings HR against the Reds from the top spot. Think about that.

I have seen a lot more than 10 absolutely great Red Sox home run moments. I would have to say, Papi's grand slam against Detroit takes #1.

I cant believe Victorino’s grand slam in 2013 and Bellhorns go ahead homer off the pole in 04 WS Game 1 didn’t get on here

I agree with number 1. The other top nine other homers hit in the 2004 playoffs especially Damon's Grand Slam, which sucked the air out of Yankee Stadium. Glorious.

After the Damon grandslam I could finally unclench my cheeks a bit, but not entirely. I will never forget the feeling of that homerun. The Manny hr was just gorgeous. JD Drew was criminally underrated in boston. The JBJ hr was gorgeous, the swing, the pose, it being JBJ. I'd add one Steve Pearce HRs against the Yankees in the ALDS. He took their soul that series and I think it being against the Yankees gives it an edge over the one vs LA.

I was 8 years old at the JD Drew grand slam game. Won standing room tickets and could barely see once everyone stood up. Totally looked like the ball hit the top of the monster and bounced back in. Loudest environment I’ve ever been in absolute craziness I’ll never forget it

Ortiz’s 2-run HR with 2 outs in the first started it all, right after Damon was thrown out at home by an incredible Matsui to Jeter relay at the plate. That homerun is always forgotten. But, make no mistake, if it didn’t happen who knows what would have transpired after. It was such a catastrophic homerun to the hearts of Yankees fans, most of who were still standing and cheering about the throw-out at home on the immediately prior pitch and play.

My personal favorite on this list is: “The big right-hander, Benoit, delivers. Swing and a high deep drive into right field.....that one scalded to right.....Hunter on the move, racing back.....IT'S OVER HIS HEAD! IT'S GONE! IT'S INTO THE BULLPEN! THIS GAME IS TIED! THIS GAME IS TIED! DAVID ORTIZ! DAVID ORTIZ! DAVID ORTIZ!” - Dave O'brien I remember watching this game at work. We had a TV in the kitchen at the banquet hall I worked at. My boss at the time was an Orioles fan and could not stand any other AL East team. He shook his head and said why in the #$%$ would you pitch to him? Why indeed.

I always always thought Johnny Damon’s grand slam was he most important and pivotal home run in Red Sox history. It’s the one that made the statement the they’re finally going to beat the Yankees and end the curse. None of these other home runs are possible without it!

I would have had Bernie Carbo’s 3 run shot as my number 1. It was more important than Fisk’s 12th inning home run because it kept them in the game.

Fenway park is magical

Reliving Carbo's HR actually gave me chills, but how could you put Damon's granny at #10 when that literally sent them to the World Series that broke the curse?

04 had to be the sweetest season!!!

Die hard red sox fan all the way

That’ll wake you up faster than a pot of espresso!! Lets Go Red Sox!!🤘

I have that world series on DVD and watch it from time to time . It was a incredible run that year.

Henderson's is No. 2 or No. 1. Saved a pennant up on the board at Fenway. These perhaps are the top 10, but all out of order. Carbo's is in the top three.

There is nothing like the sound of a home run, you can just hear it in the wood!

Understand it’s tough to fit in but Mark Bellhorn had huge home runs in 2004. The bloody sock game in particular.

Your number 10 is number 1. Damon's grandslam was the moment of belief. Great walk down memory lane (especially in this pandemic-land

Man, the Red Sox have a wealth of HUGE home runs in their history! A lot of them not on this list, which only has ten. Yaz had some big ones in '67 I believe.

We'll have to add Vázquez's walk-off to the list!

Ortiz against the Tigers is the biggest, they weren't better than the Tigers that season and were about to be down 0-2 to one of the greatest pitching rotations ever assembled, Ortiz sucked the life out of them with one swing even though it was only game 2, it felt like there was no way they were losing the series after that.

I think that the problem with this list is that the outcome of the series must be in doubt, or it must have some other kind of significance for it to be "big". If you are in command of the series or game, the homerun is far less important. I would include, in no particular order: 1. Troy O'Leary's two blasts in 1999 ALDS game 5, which completed and improbable comeback from 0-2 series deficit and broke the streak of 5 straight playoff series losses since '86. The game was a rollercoaster - O'Leary's grand slam brought them back in the game, and his last 3-run homerun was the decider. 2. Trot Nixon's extra-inning walk off in 2003 ALDS game 3 to stave off elimination and spark an 0-2 series comeback against Mulder and Zito. They were perilously close to going home for the winter at several points throughout game - the homerun rescued their season. 3. Ortiz' HR in 2004 ALDS game 5 - eighth inning, down by 2 and it looked like the series was going to close after the game 4 miracle. Ortiz' blast off Gordon was an instant morale booster and again put them within striking distance of the Yankees. 4. Ortiz' HR in the 2004 ALCS, game 7, first inning. Damon gets thrown out at the plate, and the Yankees crowd goes nuts...Sox fans start to think that the curse is alive again. Ortiz instantly homers, immediately shifting the momentum and restoring fan's confidence. 5. Dave Henderson's 10th inning homerun in 1986 WS game 5 - it would've been the game winner if the Sox had closed the door in the bottom of the inning.

Pedroia's HR in Gm 7 of the 2007 ALCS was huge. They piled on late but the game was really tight until his HR. Troy O'Leary's 2 HR's including a grand slam in 1999 in a win or go home game was pretty impressive as well.

Fucking witnessed Mitch Moreland do that in person. What a game.

Steve Pearce, one of the unlikeliest WS MVPs ever. Wild to think he didn’t even reach another 100 PA in the rest of his career, but he made the impact when it mattered

'86 was my year. Hendu's 2 run go-ahead home run amazingly came 3 at bats after Don Baylor hit a 2 run home run to give them a chance. Sox were down to their last 2 outs losing by 3 runs in the top of the 9th and hit TWO 2 run home runs. RED SOX 9TH: Buckner singled to center; STAPLETON RAN FOR BUCKNER; Rice was called out on strikes; Baylor homered [Stapleton scored]; Evans popped to third; LUCAS REPLACED WITT (PITCHING); Gedman was hit by a pitch; MOORE REPLACED LUCAS (PITCHING); Henderson homered [Gedman scored]; Romero flied out to right; 4 R, 3 H, 0 E, 0 LOB. Red Sox 6, Angels 5. Then Sox relief (Stanley, Sambito) gives up the tying run in the bottom of the 9th and bases loaded with 1 out but manage to get out of the inning. A squeeze bunt would've sent Angels to the WS. Then the Sox win the game in the 11th on a Hendu sac fly. Sox still had to win game 6 and 7 in Fenway to go to world series. It was an amazing post season in both leagues. I went to ALCS game #1 at Fenway. Had the Sox won Game 6 of the World Series, Hendu's go ahead home run in the 10th inning would've been tops on this list. Fate had other plans so that home run doesn't even get on the list.

Fisk's homer in the '75 WS should have been #1. It's one of, if not singularly, the most Iconic moments in Baseball history if not all of sports history.

God papi was so clutch

Damon's grand slam is #1, the importance of it cannot be understated

Ortiz's game winner is the only one on this list that is placed exactly where it should be, number 1! All the other are interchangeable. All of them are great hits, and there are others out there, but but Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS is forever seared into the memory of every fan watching that night.

Johnny Damon's leadoff HR in the first inning of Game 4 of the 2004 World Series was huge too. It showed the Cardinals that there was absolutely no way they were winning that game.

Carlton Fisks 1975 homer one of the greatest of all time should be 1 on the list.

2018, what a sweet year.

I saw every one of these live!

Numbers 1, no doubt! That HR set the pace to the WS

I guess the ranking depends on your age. I agree with Big Papi's HR in 2004 being #1, Fisk's 75 shot should be #2 and I will never forget how huge the HR by Carbo in Game 6 against the Reds in 75 felt all those years ago!

Big papi's father went to New York Cooperstown hall of fame to touch Babe Ruth bat to say, the curse will be broken. I don't remember if Ortiz said the same year or the next the won the world series. True story, saw the video of Big Papi tour of the hall of fame. It took humble oneself to break the course. It's like giving respect to Babe Ruth finally broke the curse.

I was looking for a video exactly like this and you made it two days ago. Freaky

Damon's grannie for me. I knew the Sox were actually going to win the series when it went out. Shane Victorino's grand slam against the Tigers on 10/19/13 should also be on here. Never understood all the love for the Fisk walk-off. I'm sure it was thrilling in real time, but they got their hearts broken that year after blowing a lead in Game 7.

3:16 Perfection. You can't make better contact than that. The sound was so clean. The second contact is made with the bat everyone knows that's gone.

Good list, but just make it the top 15 or top 20 lol

Been a Red Sox fan since '95 ....but for me, the biggest moment or home run was the 2013 Oritz grandslam....same night we beat the saints in the 4th quarter with less than a minute play #Friday #13

I'd put Bellhorn's 3 run homer in game 6 of the 2004 ALCS up there at #1 with Ortiz's. That helped the Sox tie the series. I'd then put Damon's Grand Slam AND 2 run homer the next day, up there at #1 as well. Any thoughts that the Yankees had about winning that game/series, went away after that! So yes, I'd have a 3 way tie at #1 😂

Manny absolutely destroyed that ball

Carlton Fisk hmm..could be #3. But THANX 4 adding Moreland and Gomes,their heroics were after tough defeats, Sox never give up.

The home runs from the 18 postseason were big. Not has big as anything from 04 tho. Good video

Jim Rice, ‘86 ALCS Game 7. Champagne was officially on ice: Angels were demoralised, and so was that ball.

It's so tough to come up with an order for this, or even a #1. They've hit so many big HRs that one doesn't really stand out in front of the others. You could tie Ortiz's HR from the same game with Damon's for #10. To hit the HR immediately after Damon got Sveum'd in the 1st and bring the momentum back was huge. And I agree that Victorino's GS should be on the list. If I had to knock one off the list to do it, it would be JBJ's. I'd also say JBJ's GS in game 3 was bigger than the one picked for this list.

Ortiz slammy against the Tigers, number# 1.

DOWNING GOES BACK....AND IT'S GONE!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

I would put the grand slam versus tigers as number 2.. Most unexpected championship for the sox

2004 was something special...

There is clutch and iconic...Fisk's homer is #1 ICONIC!

I still think Fisk's home run should be number 1. We didn't win the World Series, but if we would have, that would always be the number 1 home run in Red Sox history.

Fisk, Henderson & Carbo have to be in the top 5. fun video

The Fisk homer has to be higher, but I'm glad you placed Papi at #1... it's the moment when everything changed for the Sox and that series was undoubtedly the greatest series I will ever witness.

7:07 Joe Buck really said "BACK AT THE WALL" when the outfielder didn't even budge.

Henderson's HR has to be #1 or #2. Cmon man.

Fisk and Carbo should be 1 and 2 respectively.

Shoutout mike napoli hr off Verlander game 3 2013....

Dave Henderson is too low, but awesome compilation!

I'm glad Ted Williams made 'the list' but NO WAY does his last at bat overshadow Johnny Damon's grand slam that turned Yankee Stadium into a funeral parlor and won the pennant after being down 0-3. The list itself is fine but DEFINITELY needs to be reordered.

I would have thought Bucky Dent's HR in the 1978 ALCS would have made the list😂

Fisk’s HR is number 1

You put the Henderson homer only at #7?? Just a note, Red Sox baseball actually did exist prior to 2004.

no robbing a home run from that wall !

Probably wouldn’t even crack the top 20, but I’ve seen Shea Hillenbrand hit a go-ahead grand slam off Rivera in ‘02. I thought Fenway was gonna collapse people were losing their shit.

These are fucking fantastic.

Saw all but Ted Williams, what with not having been born yet.

There was another Papi blast vs Anaheim that sent them to the ALCS...should be on the list

The bloody sock game. Memories.

Fisk should be top 2. Ortiz' grand slam that almost killed Torii Hunter should be higher. And while Dave Henderson's homer was huge at the time and definitely deserves to be on the list, seeing Donnie Moore's face is a bit sad in retrospect.

Wow. There's some great great moments. Not sure if agree with but who cares . Go Sox's

Victorino hit a big 1 too.

Tons of recent bias on this list, with Henderson and especially Carbo & Fisk too low, but who cares, rewatching all of these is glorious!
