2004 Boston Red Sox Comeback
2004 Boston Red Sox Comeback – The 2004 Red Sox team broke an 86-year drought, overcame a 3-0 series deficit and won the franchise’s first World Series title since 1918.
A historic comeback by the team that lifted one of baseball’s longest curses.
The main theme behind this three-part docuseries is the rivalry between the Sox and the hated New York Yankees.
In 2003, Boston wasn’t able to shake the “Curse of the Bambino,” losing to New York in the ALCS on a 10th inning walk of home run by Aaron Boone.
The next year, the Sox clawed their way back from 10½ games back in mid-August to once again face the Yankees in the playoffs.
Down three games to none, they did what had never been done in the post-season.
All this is told with a good mix of heart and a little bit of hate.
