And now that former Dodgers/Red Sox player who helped eliminate the Yankees in 2004, did it again just a few days ago when he coached our Los Angeles DODGERS to a World Series victory over the Yankees again in 2024!! 20 years apart! Thank you, Dave Roberts!! 👏 ⚾️🧢💪🏆💯
Wow! Me too. I was with my two babies and as a die hard red Sox fan since a boy, I was really down until this moment. Now, one is about to graduate from college (with a real degree) and the other is now a lab tech. they are both doing well and so am I. Married to a beautiful korean woman who is a huge baseball fan. And the bosox added three more since! I sincerely hope all of you are well now. (Have you ever seen korean baseball. There fans participate in the game like soccer fans. Singing, cheering. And they have great convession food that is affordable. )
The Boston Globe's article said "He WAS safe but Jeter has stolen many umpire's calls with his graceful sweep tag. It would not have been a shock if West had blown the call."
My dad was a devoted Red Sox fan all his adult life, through all the years of frustration of never seeing them win a world series. He died in February, 2003 at 85 years of age. But I'm sure he cheered like "hell" from the "best box seat in the house" when 2004 happened and the Babe's Jinx FINALLY ended. The greatest year in Red Sox history, by far.
If he died on February 12th, 2003, that was the day I was born. Although I was alive in ‘04, of course I don’t remember anything about the Red Sox’ magical run. Sorry about your loss, I feel so bad about the Red Sox fans that lived to see ‘46, ‘67, ‘75, and ‘86 but not ‘04.
''When I was with the Dodgers," Roberts reflects, ''Maury Wills once told me that there will come a point in my career when everyone in the ballpark will know that I have to steal a base, and I will steal that base. When I got out there, I knew that was what Maury Wills was talking about."
And know he's stealing championships.. Is he taking money under the table from the Red Sox?? Lol well no the games have always been rigged its just people asleep
The moment Roberts stepped on first base everyone knew. The Red Sox knew he was going, the Yankees knew he was going, everyone in the stadium knew he was going, everyone at home knew he was going. Hearing him talking about it on the 30 for 30 was awesome.
@ Hope so as if it goes game 6 both teams pen gets rested and tremendous pressure for Yamamoto. Yankees lineup starting to get hits. If forced game 7 anything can happen.
Aaron Boone beat the Red Sox with a home run for the Yankees in 2003. Dave Roberts scored the tying run in this game for the Red Sox against the Yankees. They are managing opposing teams in the WS in 2024.
Outstanding documentary. Ironic how Tom Gordon & Gary Sheffield had so many things to say about the Red Sox leading into this the Red Sox shut them up as well as you can possibly do it. Down 3-0 Yankees think we got it won Red Sox said Not so fast.
During Super Bowl LI when the Pats came back from a 28-3 deficit to win it....Julian Edelman was pacing the sidelines saying, "Gonna make a hell of a story boys. We're gonna beat them. Gonna make a hell of a story." And the score was 28-3 at the time. He KNEW what Brady and the Pats could do. They never give up.
I remember this. We didn't have TIVO yet so there was no way to pause. I had to piss when Robert's came into pinch run. Was totally glued that I wet myself. Didn't change until commercial.
It doest get any better. I tecall hame 7 on nyc. The jaws dropping on yankees fan fases. Steinbtenner looking around at who to fire. Game 7 2004 gains yankees was well. Joy. Pure joy. Felt so good beating the cardinals was ...almost anti climatic
@@dadjokesproductions9496 exactly. I hate to be a beatch, but one of the best moments of fall 2004 was watching the faces of yankee fans figuring out... omg... ya think....nah...jfc...they are not ging ti choke. And concurrently, we got to, i think, have Steinbrenner have ministroke.
17 years ago, feels like yesterday! That Entire week everyone in New England got only a few hours sleep ea night w the games going past midnight. I was at Yankee Stadium for game 7, It was amazing - so glad that so many of our grandparents that aren’t here anymore got to see the Sox win the big one in their lifetime!
Swept the Angels, won 4 straight against the Yankees after being down 3-0, then swept the Cards in the WS. It was a *straight* up legendary post season in 04 for the RedSox.
I'm here after the Dodgers won the WS with Dave Roberts managing the hell out of his team. I can understand how nervous he was even after we were up 3-0, because he's been on the other side of it. I was 13 years old when the Gibby hit the GS in game one, and in the same series you had Orel come in and save a game on short rest. I was thinking how lucky am I to witness a repeat of this 36 years later.
give bill mueller credit. its not easy to get a hit off the goat closer with all the pressure in the world. nobody talks about the hit that made it all possible
I completely agree! If you watch the replay, they don't even show Mueller at first base. Give Roberts all the credit in the world for stealing second, but unless he gets driven home--as Mueller did--the Sox' season is over.
#31..Dave Roberts...whenever you come back to visit Beantown..ALL food and drinks are on the house!!....and anything else !!thank you Dave,you saved our season!!🙏enjoy!!👍
Nick Wride A lot of fan bases cheer former players when they come back; that he got the same ovation as the other team’s manager before Game 1 of the World Series is a far more noteworthy display.
And thus began the 4 game back-end sweep. A most incredible time in baseball history There's nothing like the fan noise before the pitch then that unmistakable _tectt_ of ball on wood... the roar of the home crowd at what he had done - all at starting at 5:19 and even better again at 6:10 Reminds me so much of being a kid when I got almost all of my baseball over the radio when all of it was the soundtrack to the theater of my mind
Bill Mueller was the forgotten hero of that inning. What if the Yankees would have gotten the lead runner (Roberts)? Also Mueller’s walk off homer from 7/24/04 was an instant classic too, considering it was also off of Mo and in a nationally televised game on Fox.
I was a junior in high school in 2004, and my best friend and I had a job cleaning his dad's office on Sunday evenings. They were from north Jersey, huge Yankees fans, and he was checking the score periodically throughout the evening as we were cleaning (we tended to do so pretty late sometimes). We finished up right as Roberts scored; I was tired and ready to get to bed. "Dang it, Boston just tied it in the 9th!" he says. "That means extras, if Rivera can even hold them here." "Ah, even if they win this one, you're still up 3-1. What could go wrong?" "I don't know. I just have a bad feeling about this one. No team has ever come back from 3-0 to win a postseason series, but this feels like it could happen." "It's NEVER happened before, and you're worried about it? Lighten up a bit, man!" "Maybe..." But I could tell he wasn't convinced. And then those next three games unfolded, with Boston doing the impossible, just like he predicted. Like those folks holding the signs at Fenway, he essentially called it right there. So many times, sports are the best drama we could ask for.
Sure enough he did got it, that stolen base was the beginning of the greatest upset in mayor league baseball and sport history no doubt about it.I can't think of any other.
My son turns 14 in about 20 minutes. Of course, we told him the story of his birth several times. When he was little, he used to tell the story of the day he was born. It always ended with him saying. " and then I was born. And then a day later the Red Sox won the world series for the first time in 86 years. My mom says it was the best week of her life ever!" Still is true!!
brmillgr I’m with you ~ I’m a Yankees fan yet Dave Roberts steal was amazing. In ken burns documentary baseball, the 11th inning???? They talk about the steal. Once, Dave Roberts was told by someone (can’t remember the name), “there will be a game, where everyone knows that you will attempt to steal the base, and you will have to get it done...” something like that. And Roberts done it~~~ Regardless of the rivalry between Yankees and Red Sox I appreciate the game and I really do appreciate Dave’s steal. Yes, I will be watching the steal many more time. N cherish the steal ~ n how painful it was to loose the series... yet amazing comeback for Boston... breaking the curse... it was beautiful for red Sox yet it was beautiful for the game~
Still get excited watching it and celebrate that play as if it were happening now! Thank you, Dave Roberts! And congratulations on making the Dodgers World Champions!
@CATEGORY 7 they are taking pictures or videos and uploading them to snap/Twitter/facebook you idiot. Snapchat had a whole section for people uploading world series pictures/videos. And if these people had the accessibility to the quality of cameras and the access to social media back then they would be doing the same thing people are doing now. But they dont. I won't hold your stupidity against you though since you're a Miami fan.
Best quote ever was made in 2004 after the Sox came back to beat the Yanks 4-3 in the ALCS. Comedian Steven Wright: "I looked at the faces of the Yankee fans after the Red Sox beat them 4 straight and I...felt sorry for them...because...they weren't used to it. We were. 'Wait until next year' was our mantra."
Michael Blackwell they always used to do that during Red Sox Yankees playoff games and Yankees WS games in the early 2000s. I specifically remember game 4 of the 2001 World Series and game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, in addition to this game.
A little late this year, but happy 20th anniversary to The Steal. I still get tears in my eyes watching this. It absolutely never gets old. Love that dirty water.
Wow, Dodgers give us Roberts, he steals the biggest base in MLB history. We take four games, go to the World Series and win it. Now, we are World Series bound Dave Roberts is back with the Dodgers.
Thank god I was a spry 20 years old when this happened....otherwise my heart would’ve probably exploded. I was living about a mile from Fenway at this time and you could tell something crazy had just happened because you’d hear this roar echoing through the streets while the broadcast was catching up to reality. No series will ever top the 2004 alcs. They’d humiliated us for 3 games straight...and THIS moment was the beginning of the turn around, against the most lights out closer of all time. Still, to this day, the only team who’s ever come back from 3 games down to take a 7 game series...not to mention a sweep of the cardinals in the ws. The streets of Boston were chaos...it was unbelievable...
It took me 15 years to re watch the beginning of the end of Yankee post season dominance. I give the fans that stayed for this game all the accolades that they deserve. A walk and a steal ended the dynasty. WOW
20 years later. No one will ever understand what it was like being in New England during these playoffs. Simply the greatest fan experience anyone, anywhere has ever had. “The greatest comeback in sports history.”
This series is the most remarkable thing i have ever witnessed in sports. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were great. Other fantastic finishes i have seen. The Immaculate Reception by Franco Harris NC State over Houston Jimmy V. Boston College over Miami hail mary Hulk Hogan beating Andre the Giant Kirk Gibsons HR to win it all But the 2004 ALCS to me was the most stunning
This comeback wasn't just amazing that they were down 3-0 in the series and came back. They were down 3-0 in the series and were also down 4-3 in the ninth, against the greatest failed starter of all-time.
A play that will be brought about a lot in the following days for sure. Dodgers vs Red Sox WS 2018, Dave Roberts we salute you but we're pounding on your team badly
I've always loved the foreshadowing at 1:15; you can tell that when the count went to 3-1 Roberts was told he would be pinch-running if/when Millar got on base.
And credit where it is due, Mo went along with it an laughed. Hated him as a player because he was so damn good. But from everything I hear he is a class act as a person.
I ve never seen back catcher catch and send a ball that fast to second base.... Roberts was a burner...... easily the biggest steal in baseball history!
There was fantastic to steal and added a run The fans are euphoric.in 2004 in won World Series championship.Congratulations for all to refresh memories .thanks for that gesture.
Mr. Johnson My Yankee standards that really does noy cut it. They have also allowed the Sox to celebrate in their stadium a couple of times since. The Sox are now the Yankees of this century. Yankees used to be a machine, no more they lost their mojo.
I was there, sitting way up in the bleachers, practically under the old scoreboard. From my very distant angle, I thought Roberts was definitely out. I had to see the slo-mo replays later to know for sure he was safe. One of my great disappointments in life was that once the Sox tied it in the 9th, I had to leave. I had taken the public bus to the game, and the buses in Boston stop running by about 12:30 AM. I made it home just in time to see the Sox win in the 12th. I still have the ticket.
@@waltblackadar4690 Wrong. That was 9 minutes of pure clutchness by Tom Brady. 28-3 with over half the 3rd quarter already passed by? EVERYONE thought they were dead but they were absolutely perfect from there on our and got the first win in an OT in Super Bowl history, and they win the game without leading the game for 0 seconds. Let that sink in.... Tom Brady threw for a record of 466 yards in that game (He broke it the next year with 505). This come back was more impressive because it's a 1 game deal, meaning you either go big or go home every time you advance in the playoffs.
I loved the 2004 Idiots. I wish my father could have seen this. He was 10 years to late to see the Red Sox Team he would have loved. Hope the bar up there had network TV.
Not only that, but those 3 outs away! I remember sparring all season with a diehard Yankee fan and listening to his big mouth after each of the first 3 wins. Man did her hear mine ESPECIALLY After the Sox took the series!
@@CliftonPhotographer that was what made it sweeter. Three outs away and they would have another one to hang up there along with Bucky Bleepin Dent and Aaron Bleepin Boone. I like to think Dave Roberts stolen base and Mueller's single began the new era of baseball between the Red Sox and Yankees. Cursed no more!!!
I never realized until just watching it again now how close Rivera came to snagging that drive up the middle by Mueller. Watch it on slow-mo: 6:21 Thank God for Reversing the Curse!

My wife left me right before this. When the red sox won the world series, I didn't feel so bad anymore. I got to see my mom happy again.
Wifeless ahh 😂
Jesus you're a sad man
You too? Similar situation for me that year and somehow.... the Redsox made it all better!
Wow! Me too. I was with my two babies and as a die hard red Sox fan since a boy, I was really down until this moment. Now, one is about to graduate from college (with a real degree) and the other is now a lab tech. they are both doing well and so am I. Married to a beautiful korean woman who is a huge baseball fan.

I sincerely hope all of you are well now.
(Have you ever seen korean baseball. There fans participate in the game like soccer fans. Singing, cheering. And they have great convession food that is affordable. )
Lost in all of this is the fact that Joe West actually made a good call at 2nd
hahaha
The Boston Globe's article said "He WAS safe but Jeter has stolen many umpire's calls with his graceful sweep tag. It would not have been a shock if West had blown the call."
He does that every now and then....
@@dolphinsneu even the worst umpires can’t blow a call that is destiny!
lol

Ugh, his lifespan coincided with pretty much the span of the "curse." As if he were the curse.

Thats deep. He's right too.
And know he's stealing championships.. Is he taking money under the table from the Red Sox?? Lol well no the games have always been rigged its just people asleep
Thanks for posting quote.
From the foreword of ‘100 things Red Sox fans should know and do before they die’
Patrick Peters not

You. Just. Knew. I remember this vividly. And I'm not even a Red Sox fan.
am I the only one coming back to see this since Dodgers now up 3-0 against Yankees in WS and managed by Dave Roberts??
Dodgers will close it out tonight
@ Hope so as if it goes game 6 both teams pen gets rested and tremendous pressure for Yamamoto. Yankees lineup starting to get hits. If forced game 7 anything can happen.
And now WORLD SERIES CHAMPS
Aaron Boone beat the Red Sox with a home run for the Yankees in 2003. Dave Roberts scored the tying run in this game for the Red Sox against the Yankees. They are managing opposing teams in the WS in 2024.
So the Sox got Roberts from LA. What goes around comes around.
I love the people holding up signs saying "greatest comeback in sports history". That's confidence.
And prophetic!
If you’ve never watched “Four Days in October,” you’re missing out. Even if you’re not a Boston fan, it’s a great 30 for 30.
That it is. A great SPORTS movie.
Outstanding documentary. Ironic how Tom Gordon & Gary Sheffield had so many things to say about the Red Sox leading into this the Red Sox shut them up as well as you can possibly do it. Down 3-0 Yankees think we got it won Red Sox said Not so fast.
@@davidcalderon7724 it's sacred material to me
THE greatest 7 game series in sports history….and I’m no Boston fan.
One of my favorite 30 for 30 documentaries
I know what happens every time and I still get chills
Eric Kim Bill Mueller, the forgotten hero! Roberts stole the base, but Mueller had to drive him in!
I was just thinking exactly the same thing.
During Super Bowl LI when the Pats came back from a 28-3 deficit to win it....Julian Edelman was pacing the sidelines saying, "Gonna make a hell of a story boys. We're gonna beat them. Gonna make a hell of a story." And the score was 28-3 at the time.
He KNEW what Brady and the Pats could do. They never give up.
Same
I remember this. We didn't have TIVO yet so there was no way to pause. I had to piss when Robert's came into pinch run. Was totally glued that I wet myself. Didn't change until commercial.
That sign on game 4: the greatest comeback is sports’ history. EPIC. It was that perfect combination of the fans + the team + FAITH!
But it wasn't. Down 3-0 to win happened twice in hockey. But, the greatest comeback in MLB history and against the hated Yankees.
It doest get any better. I tecall hame 7 on nyc. The jaws dropping on yankees fan fases. Steinbtenner looking around at who to fire. Game 7 2004 gains yankees was well. Joy. Pure joy. Felt so good beating the cardinals was ...almost anti climatic
Not really!!! What else you wanted to see?? Wait till next year🤷🤷
Millar said it best " we didn't know we're supposed to lose"
@@dadjokesproductions9496 exactly. I hate to be a beatch, but one of the best moments of fall 2004 was watching the faces of yankee fans figuring out... omg... ya think....nah...jfc...they are not ging ti choke. And concurrently, we got to, i think, have Steinbrenner have ministroke.
2018 - Dave Roberts is still helping the BoSox win.
Lmao!
,ha ha ha

Lemmo the cold Dodger bats helped too.
This happens with the Mets sometimes too - see Calvin Schiraldi.

It was amazing - so glad that so many of our grandparents that aren’t here anymore got to see the Sox win the big one in their lifetime!

Dude...I’m a lifelong Sox fan but you have to call it like it is. Mariano was among the greatest the game has ever seen.

Hands down the best ALCS of my lifetime. What a series/Season!
And this is why, even though he's the manager of the Dodgers, he's still loved at Fenway in 2018!
Check the video of Roberts returning to Fenway, leading off for the Giants. Sox fans are great.
Nick Wride A lot of fan bases cheer former players when they come back; that he got the same ovation as the other team’s manager before Game 1 of the World Series is a far more noteworthy display.
....He's loved in Fenway BECAUSE he's back on the Dodgers playboy!
@@silversurfer3636 no
2 minutes standing ovation.
Anytime I feel and down and out about anything In life- I watch this .
This will never get old. You could even say that the Curse ended with The Steal, the rest was just history playing itself out.
You're close. The Curse ended at Midnight just before the bottom of the 9th.
It's too damned perfect of timing to credit anything else.
And thus began the 4 game back-end sweep. A most incredible time in baseball history
There's nothing like the fan noise before the pitch then that unmistakable _tectt_ of ball on wood... the roar of the home crowd at what he had done - all at starting at 5:19 and even better again at 6:10
Reminds me so much of being a kid when I got almost all of my baseball over the radio when all of it was the soundtrack to the theater of my mind
I am given to wonder if the fans had any inkling that the curse ended the instant Roberts was called safe.
Bill Mueller was the forgotten hero of that inning. What if the Yankees would have gotten the lead runner (Roberts)? Also Mueller’s walk off homer from 7/24/04 was an instant classic too, considering it was also off of Mo and in a nationally televised game on Fox.

Love Dave Roberts at 1:15...he's like, "Yep, I got this."
kinda like Brady. What? We need 2 touchdowns and 2 two point conversations in under 9 minutes?
Hold my beer.
BEAST MODE...
NICE CATCH
Sure enough he did got it, that stolen base was the beginning of the greatest upset in mayor league baseball and sport history no doubt about it.I can't think of any other.
One of the greatest memories of my life.
My son turns 14 in about 20 minutes. Of course, we told him the story of his birth several times. When he was little, he used to tell the story of the day he was born. It always ended with him saying. " and then I was born. And then a day later the Red Sox won the world series for the first time in 86 years. My mom says it was the best week of her life ever!" Still is true!!

You re not alone brother!
If I had to pick one youtube video to watch for the rest of my life, this would be my choice. Never gets old and I doubt it will ever get old.
Gets better every time
It’s the first time I’ve seen it since I was a kid. All the same thoughts/feelings came rushing back. I got chills. Amazing moment in sports history.

Lily Williams cause the game is amazing
ok then
Nothing better than watching the Yankees blow a 3-0 series lead
Still get excited watching it and celebrate that play as if it were happening now! Thank you, Dave Roberts! And congratulations on making the Dodgers World Champions!
Roberts will go down in World Series history as the only manger to get a louder ovation during introductions on the road than at home.
Haha. True.
I was cheering him just watching it on TV.
“Don’t let us win tonight” I’m covered in goosebumps
Celtics…
I watched this every now and then to remind myself I am not dead inside. Works every time.
14 years later, Dave Roberts is back at Fenway... as an opposing manager
And still love him for 'the steal'!
I seriously could watch this EVERY year!!!!! And I’ll be saying this 15 years from now!!!!!!
This is the most important steal in MLB history, but Jackie stealing home is the most memorable and iconic. Ricky’s record is the most impressive.
i miss this era of baseball nobody on their phones just watching the game.
CATEGORY 7 they have to get away from home rum or strikeout
CATEGORY 7 N Nah the era of basketball is coming to an end. SO BORING 2018-19 champions Warriors bet you a trillion dollars
@CATEGORY 7 who likes college football nowadays .....😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because phones didn't have good cameras or cameras at all. I assure you if they did they would do the same.

8-1 in last 9 postseason games. As a Red Sox fan loved every minute of it.
Hard to believe this was 14 yrs ago..
17 Years ago today, and it still never gets old!
I love how they show the clock hit 12:00 in these videos.

Wow, Dodgers give us Roberts, he steals the biggest base in MLB history. We take four games, go to the World Series and win it. Now, we are World Series bound Dave Roberts is back with the Dodgers.
Love Roberts enough to want his pain to be as quick as possible. Let's sweep.
Dave Roberts helping Boston any chance he gets.
We? Hahaha
And then Red Sox win and it has zero affect on your life.
Credit to KEVIN MILLAR for getting that walk and making it all possible.
A young Dave Roberts.
And 20 years later he’s managing L.A. leading them to win his third ring.
Edit: and he accomplished it now.
Roberts about to assist the Red Sox to another ring this year! Boston Legend
2018 World Series Champions baby!!!
Devilz DandruFF Like your logo. Miss the days of Orr, Espo and all the others of that time in the late 60s - 70s
Heck yea!
"The Greatest Comeback in Sports History"...the fan holding that sign didn't believe that any more than Joe Torre did. But he can say, "I called it."
Wrong bro. We all knew it. But it was a knowledge fighting a long history..
Absolutely the most important stolen base in Red Sox history.
As a 9 year old kid I didn't realize how awesome this series was. Just awesome.
Anthony Michael as a yankee fan, this was an awesome moment
Thank god I was a spry 20 years old when this happened....otherwise my heart would’ve probably exploded.
I was living about a mile from Fenway at this time and you could tell something crazy had just happened because you’d hear this roar echoing through the streets while the broadcast was catching up to reality.
No series will ever top the 2004 alcs. They’d humiliated us for 3 games straight...and THIS moment was the beginning of the turn around, against the most lights out closer of all time. Still, to this day, the only team who’s ever come back from 3 games down to take a 7 game series...not to mention a sweep of the cardinals in the ws. The streets of Boston were chaos...it was unbelievable...
Announcer: "this season hanging on a bunt here."
Next Pitch: Mueller swinging away
How lucky were we as baseball fans to experience great playoff baseball . From like, 97-2005, every year was great . But 03-04 was specially awesome
It took me 15 years to re watch the beginning of the end of Yankee post season dominance. I give the fans that stayed for this game all the accolades that they deserve. A walk and a steal ended the dynasty. WOW
LOVEEEEE The "Greatest Comeback in Sports History" Sign at 5:58. Psychic!
20 years later.
No one will ever understand what it was like being in New England during these playoffs.
Simply the greatest fan experience anyone, anywhere has ever had.
“The greatest comeback in sports history.”
This series is the most remarkable thing i have ever witnessed in sports. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were great.
Other fantastic finishes i have seen.
The Immaculate Reception by Franco Harris
NC State over Houston Jimmy V.
Boston College over Miami
hail mary
Hulk Hogan beating Andre the Giant
Kirk Gibsons HR to win it all
But the 2004 ALCS to me was the most stunning
Dave Roberts stolen base was the catalyst for the Red Sox turning around the game and the Series.
After it turned midnight, nothing was ever the same.
This comeback wasn't just amazing that they were down 3-0 in the series and came back. They were down 3-0 in the series and were also down 4-3 in the ninth, against the greatest failed starter of all-time.
So I'm assuming this is why Roberts loves Shohei Ohtani Steal Machine.
Now the 2024 Yankees need to pull this off in the WS
Yes
And they didn’t. (Coming from a Dodger fan) 😏
Then you woke up to reality! Dave Roberts still haunts you Yankee fans 20 years later! 😂
I never get tired of this footage. Most beautiful stolen base ever!
A play that will be brought about a lot in the following days for sure. Dodgers vs Red Sox WS 2018, Dave Roberts we salute you but we're pounding on your team badly
You like to pound on athletic men don't you Eric!
Thank you for the upload... brings back great memories!
Still hard to believe they came all the way back from that.
this still gives me goosebumps and still pinch myself everytime i see 04 alcs
I've always loved the foreshadowing at 1:15; you can tell that when the count went to 3-1 Roberts was told he would be pinch-running if/when Millar got on base.
The comeback goes down as one of the greatest sporting highlights of all time . . .
I never knew that he played for the Dodgers also. How cool is that?
April, 2005. The day after the Sox got their rings I and 35k at fenway cheered mo rivera for blowing a few saves the fall prior. what an experience
And credit where it is due, Mo went along with it an laughed. Hated him as a player because he was so damn good. But from everything I hear he is a class act as a person.
This stolen bag was easily the turning point of the inning and the entries series for that matter.
What you’re here for: 3:58
I ve never seen back catcher catch and send a ball that fast to second base.... Roberts was a burner...... easily the biggest steal in baseball history!
I remember this was the first world series I saw since 93 ,I had turned my back to baseball after the strike
There was fantastic to steal and added a run The fans are euphoric.in 2004 in won World Series championship.Congratulations for all to refresh memories .thanks for that gesture.
Always nice to see this again. Never say never!
Look closely.....if Posada’s throw is on the first base side of the bag he’s easily out by a half step
"Don't let us win tonight!"
Still gives me goosebumps
Let's go Roberts.....4-1 we have this one, done a great job so far
It was so cool to see the Boston fans cheer for him in 2018!
This series changed the Red Sox franchise forever. The Yankees have never been the same.
??? They won in 2009.
Mr. Johnson My Yankee standards that really does noy cut it. They have also allowed the Sox to celebrate in their stadium a couple of times since. The Sox are now the Yankees of this century. Yankees used to be a machine, no more they lost their mojo.
I was there, sitting way up in the bleachers, practically under the old scoreboard. From my very distant angle, I thought Roberts was definitely out. I had to see the slo-mo replays later to know for sure he was safe. One of my great disappointments in life was that once the Sox tied it in the 9th, I had to leave. I had taken the public bus to the game, and the buses in Boston stop running by about 12:30 AM. I made it home just in time to see the Sox win in the 12th. I still have the ticket.
5:53 says it all!
James Trout super bowl 51 tops this comeback
Not even close, Trailer. That was 30 minutes. Big deal. The Red Sox comeback lasted 4 games...and 86 years.
@@waltblackadar4690
Wrong. That was 9 minutes of pure clutchness by Tom Brady. 28-3 with over half the 3rd quarter already passed by? EVERYONE thought they were dead but they were absolutely perfect from there on our and got the first win in an OT in Super Bowl history, and they win the game without leading the game for 0 seconds. Let that sink in.... Tom Brady threw for a record of 466 yards in that game (He broke it the next year with 505). This come back was more impressive because it's a 1 game deal, meaning you either go big or go home every time you advance in the playoffs.
I loved the 2004 Idiots. I wish my father could have seen this. He was 10 years to late to see the Red Sox Team he would have loved. Hope the bar up there had network TV.
Came here to see Roberts after the big Dodgers win! 🎉🎉🎉
Nicely done, Mr. Tzeng. Nicely done.
Classic Red Sox lineup vs classic Yankees lineup. Baseball at its finest right here
First, and so far ONLY MLB team to come back down 0-3.
Not only that, but those 3 outs away!
I remember sparring all season with a diehard Yankee fan and listening to his big mouth after each of the first 3 wins.
Man did her hear mine ESPECIALLY After the Sox took the series!
@@CliftonPhotographer that was what made it sweeter. Three outs away and they would have another one to hang up there along with Bucky Bleepin Dent and Aaron Bleepin Boone. I like to think Dave Roberts stolen base and Mueller's single began the new era of baseball between the Red Sox and Yankees. Cursed no more!!!
They are the only team to do it in the MLB AND the NBA!
Chicago in Ws
charlie Salazar They came back down 3-1 so not quite. Sox had to win 4 games in a row. Still to come back down 3-1 is pretty impressive.
I never realized until just watching it again now how close Rivera came to snagging that drive up the middle by Mueller. Watch it on slow-mo: 6:21 Thank God for Reversing the Curse!
I'm a non baseball fan but do watch post season play from time to time. This series is still til this day, my favorite baseball series.
1. Lake Placid
2. This
3. 28-3, Super Bowl LI
Lake Placid?
@@HanSoloTheScoundrel Miracle on Ice - USA 4 USSR 3
Haha...I never get tired of watching this!!!!!
If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times, and I will continue saying it. This never gets old.
Bill Miller Has Tied It!!! The beginning of the end for the YANKEES
Never gets old. Needed this after last night. Love Alex Verdugo, but maybe he should watch this video to learn how to steal a base in a big game.
So these World Series melt downs are normal for the Yankees these days. Good to know if they ever make it to the bid show again..
I never get tired of watching this
03-04 yankees redsox games were some of the best man.
Roberts just beats it by speed and skill. The Yankees did everything right. The pitch is like a pitch-out and the throw is perfect. Great play!
