===========================================
Historical Dave Roberts' base steal against Yankees in 2004 ALC Game 4, bottom of 9th inning.
This is the closest to what we watched on TV that late October night in 2004. As the hand writing sign by a Sox fan wrote "THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN SPORTS HISTORY!". This fan is a genius as the event unfolded in the coming days. - กีฬา
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 love the people holding up signs saying "greatest comeback in sports history". That's confidence.
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
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.
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.
''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."
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
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.
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.
You. Just. Knew. I remember this vividly. And I'm not even a Red Sox fan.
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!
I was in New York for game 3 about to commit suicide 😂😂😂
Sox picked the right time to start an 8-game win streak.
"...the Red Sox are 3 outs away from being swept."
Smith Smith
I know exactly what you mean!!!
Smith Smith too bad that didn't happen
TheMW2informer Nah it was awesome
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.
joe buck can go fuck himself
They go from almost getting swept to beating the Yanks and then sweeping the Cards.
Unbelievable comeback.
And the Cardinals were the no doubt about it, best team in baseball that year. But there was no stopping the Sox after the ALCS.
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.
2018 - Dave Roberts is still helping the BoSox win.
Lmao!
,ha ha ha
Yas 😢
Lemmo the cold Dodger bats helped too.
This happens with the Mets sometimes too - see Calvin Schiraldi.
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!!
M 10
You re not alone brother!
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.
14 years later, Dave Roberts is back at Fenway... as an opposing manager
And still love him for 'the steal'!
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.
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~
Lily Williams cause the game is amazing
ok then
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.
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.
Hard to believe this was 14 yrs ago..
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
Mueller owned Rivera throughout his career. He hit .455 off of Mo (5-11), had a .500 OBP and slugged .727
TheMagicMan119
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.
trust a yankee fan to be a homophobe
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.
Amen, and I agree. When Mo came in, as a Red Sox fan, it looked bad, but they had to do it.
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.
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.
@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.
Hands down the best ALCS of my lifetime. What a series/Season!
“Don’t let us win tonight” I’m covered in goosebumps
Celtics…
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.
This and Keith Foulke fielding that final out will be two memories i'll never forgot. Classic
I watched this every now and then to remind myself I am not dead inside. Works every time.
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.
I seriously could watch this EVERY year!!!!! And I’ll be saying this 15 years from now!!!!!!
17 Years ago today, and it still never gets old!
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.”
After beating the Dodgers to win the 2018 World Series last night I figured it was a good time to look back at the magical 2004 season. The Red Sox forever in my blood!
Dave Roberts helped us win 2 World Series!
@@theforbiddensauce World Covid Series does not count.
2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018 stick with me forever and ever
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
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 love how they show the clock hit 12:00 in these videos.
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.
Still hard to believe they came all the way back from that.
Roberts about to assist the Red Sox to another ring this year! Boston Legend
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.
The comeback goes down as one of the greatest sporting highlights of all time . . .
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
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."
Matthew Bradley or as the New York Daily News read after game 7, “The Choke’s on us.”
8-1 in last 9 postseason games. As a Red Sox fan loved every minute of it.
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...
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.
this still gives me goosebumps and still pinch myself everytime i see 04 alcs
LOVEEEEE The "Greatest Comeback in Sports History" Sign at 5:58. Psychic!
Announcer: "this season hanging on a bunt here."
Next Pitch: Mueller swinging away
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.
This never gets old...ever...
Classic Red Sox lineup vs classic Yankees lineup. Baseball at its finest right here
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!
"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..
It was so cool to see the Boston fans cheer for him in 2018!
#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!!👍
I'm a KC/Atlanta fan and once the Braves got knocked out by Houston in the NLDS in 04, I pulled for the Red Sox the rest of the way, and was very happy to see them beat the Yankees on their way to the WS against St. Louis, then beat the Cardinals to win the 2004 WS. Too bad Ted (Williams) could have lived a couple more years longer to see them win it.
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.
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.
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.
18 years ago tonight we witnessed the start of something historic. Giants fell, legends were made, and Dave Roberts never had to pay for a drink in Boston again.
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!
Thank you for the upload... brings back great memories!
Anytime I feel and down and out about anything In life- I watch this .
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.
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.
03-04 yankees redsox games were some of the best man.
I never get tired of watching this
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.
One of my favorite parts of that national braodast was the image of the digital clock showing the last minute of the last day of that damnable curse (11:59 PM) and the beginning of a new day for Red Sox Nation (12:00 AM). Goosebumps.
Dave Roberts stolen base was the catalyst for the Red Sox turning around the game and the Series.
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.
Nicely done, Mr. Tzeng. Nicely done.
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!
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.
Who would've thunk 14 years later Roberts would be in the other dugout for the World Series.
Timothy Harris nah, he was the MVP for the Sox my dude.
Dave Roberts is a Rock Star!
One of the greatest sequences in baseball history
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
The Sox picked up Roberts in a mid-season trade, sending the beloved Nomar to the Dodgers. Coincidentally, I got to see Nomar, who was injured to star the season in his first game back in '04 in June v. the Padres. A wild season!
I've watched it almost a thousand times. Go Red Sox!!
I watched this game & although I'm not a fan of either team I despise The Yankees with a passion..... it was a pleasure watching them blow it....
"And that was the last time I ever paid a bar tab in Boston." - Dave Roberts
Still get chills.
I’m a Yankees fan since I was able to throw a baseball. But I’m a more of baseball fan than anything... the Dave Roberts’ steal was the gutsiest steal in baseball’s history. I’m a Ted Williams’ fan, I’m a Jackie Robinson’s fan, I’m a Mariano Rivera’s fan, and I’m a Dave Roberts’ fan until I die ~
What really gets lost in this video is how good Terry Francona coached the team. And then fell into the giant Abyss of the rest of his career!
After it turned midnight, nothing was ever the same.
If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times, and I will continue saying it. This never gets old.
The next day on ESPN radio Colin Cowherd said that there was no way the Red Sox would win four straight against the yankees, boy was he wrong.
Huh you mean cowherd was wrong once? Imagine that
This will be historic for years to come. 14 years later. Still no MLB has done this.
Congrats on the rise of a team who was cursed for 86 years.
14 years later. 4 titles 2 times swept a team in the WS. And not one time they lost a title in the past 14 years.
Well done Boston.
Yours truly a Braves Fan.
David Roberts ..we are all rooting for you from Vista CA .
I was 10 years old watching this and a yankee fan. When they lost this game I knew the Red Sox were about to come back and take the series
My father was born in 1917 and followed the Red Sox faithfully until he passed away in 2003, never seeing them win a World Series...and this happened the very next year.
This series was sweeter than the World Series for this Sox fan. So many memories -- just don't bring up Game 3! When we won Game 6 there was no doubt we'd win Game 7. And then the World Series was a foregone conclusion. Go Sox!
Oh, come on. Don't tell me that you weren't a little antsy when Tito brought in Pedro in relief in Game 7, and the Yankees started hitting him all over the yard. Even with an 8-1 lead. There were so many epic failures and blown leads over the years.
@@mikeprevost8650 I already bought the champagne. They had no chance.
I agree, the greatest comeback and the greatest team, this was incredible to watch.
Jimmy Buffett broke the Curse of the Bambino a month before this. He did a concert at Fenway and did a curse breaking ceremony during the show.

Credit to KEVIN MILLAR for getting that walk and making it all possible.
2021... We left the yanks out from the wildcard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I keep watching any Dave Roberts video from His time like a redsox. Go Roberts and Go Sox!!!
this, and Mookie's epic at bat in '86 are two of the best baseball moments I've seen.
