History

Historical Context

In October 2004 the Boston Red Sox erased a 3-0 series deficit against the New York Yankees, becoming the only MLB team ever to win a best-of-seven after trailing three games and clinching the pennant with a 10-3 Game 7 victory. The 86 runs scored set a record, echoing the rare 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and 1975 New York Islanders comebacks in the NHL.
