If you were lucky enough to be in attendance at Fenway Park on October 17, 2004, you witnessed the nascent stages of a Red Sox re-birth. On that night, in Game Four of the ALCS,
The Carmine Hose (down three games to none) forged a comeback against
The Evil Ones that would ultimately lead to their first World Championship in 86 years. The four catalysts of the re-birth were: a ninth-inning walk by
Kevin Millar, an epic steal of second-base by his pinch-runner
Dave Roberts, a game-tying single by
Bill Mueller and a 12th-inning game-winning HR by
David Ortiz. Nest stop—
DuckBoats in
RingVille.
Twelve years ago today—savor it!
