History

Historical Context

In October 2004 the Boston Red Sox became the first MLB team to overturn a 3-0 series deficit, beating the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the ALCS and then sweeping the World Series—a rarity matched only by two NHL clubs (1942 Maple Leafs, 1975 Islanders). The Milwaukee Brewers’ 5-4 comeback from a 4-0 first-inning hole in the World Series illustrates baseball’s enduring late-inning turnarounds.
