2003 ALCS, Game 7: Red Sox at Yankees
(c) MLB Vault Boston Red Sox 5 at New York Yankees 6, F/11 — All that was on the line was a trip to the World Series. The starting pitchers? Merely two of the greats of their …
It hurts watching this game as a Red Sox fan, but I’m sure it hurts just as equally for Yankee fans to watch most of the 2004 ALCS in return. 2003-2005 like most people have said was no doubt the height of this rivalry, and I REALLY miss watching the MLB from that time period. Every game during that time that involved the Red Sox and/or Yankees was intense, no matter who the opponent was.
One of the greatest games/series I’ve ever watched.
2003 and 2004 was the height of Red Sox Yankees rivalry, I miss the atmosphere in the stadium for those games.The last few years the teams have almost become friendly, its sad. Both teams are stacking young talent I hope in the next 2 or 3 years these teams are at each others throats again
The rivalry hit a climax from 2003-2005. It hasn’t been the same since.
Red Sox left Pedro in wayyy too long
Watching this just makes me realize how dead this rivalry really is. �I just hope at one point, hopefully in the near future, it will return to this level of intensity and competition.
As a Red Sox fan, this is really tough to watch. But I really gotta respect the Yankees for this one. They had a truly great team, and even if the eighth inning rally is painful, it still gets my adrenaline pumping to see Yankees fans go so nuts when Posada tied it. This is, without question, the greatest rivalry in all of sports.
As a Orioles fan I hated both of these teams with a passion but this game has to be one the greatest ALCS Game 7’s of all time hands down�
As a HUGE yankees fan, I just want to say that the Red Sox are one of the best competitors that we have ever played with. Just to be mature, I feel as us Yankee fans got hit even harder the next year after this game. Hint hint…world series…red sox. Also thanks to the red sox fans that aren’t total douches and respect baseball.
Gives me chills still.
Stadium absolutely erupted when Boone hit the walk off, there will never be an atmosphere like that for a long time
Regardless of how many times I watch this game, my reaction is still the same. In my opinion, this game goes down as one of the most amazing games in the history of the NYY…with the exception of the 2001 WS. Ugh, how I miss these days.
I will never, ever forget going to this game. The most unbelievable atmosphere you could ever imagine when Boone hit that HR. Grown men who had never met before hugging each other in celebration. NOBODY left the stadium for 15 minutes after the game was over. God I miss those Yankees teams from the mid-90’s-early 2000’s.
Oh man, was this ever sweet! One of the best Yankees games I have ever seen. The stakes couldn’t be higher at the time. Living in southern Connecticut, this meant everything. Boone and the rest of the 2003 Yankees, can’t thank you enough!
That was an amazing comeback…truly one of the greatest sports moments in my life. It was really like something out of a movie.
Literally one of the greatest games in MLB history!!!
This was one of my all time favorite ALCS game to watch. Even to this day I still feel the intensity of this game and the 8th inning decion�leaving Pedro in unreal.�
White Sox fan here. I remember watching this game with my dad back when I was a sophomore in high school. It was one of my fondest dad-son bonding moments when Boone hit that home run. Until the White Sox won it all in 2005, this was my favorite baseball moment.
Man I miss the old Stadium. It was so loud and there was so much energy in the playoffs… Not the same anymore. Just listening to the fans brings back memories of that era.
One of the greatest moments, ever. Sends chills down my spine to this day.
1986 World Series, Game 6: Red Sox @ Mets
(c) MLB Vault Boston Red Sox 5 at New York Mets 6, F/10 — Leading 5-4 in the 10th inning, just one out away from their first Championship since 1918, the Red Sox (much to …
I am a Mets fan. I was at this game when I was 16. You can even see me briefly. However, to this day, I feel for Bill Buckner and the abuse he took from Boston “fans”. He was a border-line hall of Famer and this one play defines him. He wasn’t teh only one who blew this game for the Sox. He deserved better than what the Boston “fans” gave him.
Can you imagine today’s announcers keeping quiet for a full 3 minutes at the end of a dramatic game like this? �You gotta love old school broadcasters like Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola who know when to shut up and let the pictures tell the story. �
Vin Scully with the greatest non-call of all time. Shea gave you all the commentary you needed…Goosebumps.
boston needed 1 strike to win world series..i always wondered by bill buckner was blamed… he didn’t cause the mets to tie it up and then win game 6…remember the mets were 1 strike from losing and boston 1 strike from winning their first world series since 1918..i always blamed the pitcher bob stanley and the manager
The 1986 Playoffs and World Series were remarkable.
This is so much more than the most memorable game in Mets history, or the most heartbreaking moment in Red Sox history. From a purely numerical standpoint, this is the wildest, most dramatic game in all of baseball history.After Schiraldi got the second out in the 10th, the Mets had less than a 1% chance of winning the ballgame: the Red Sox HAD this one sealed and wrapped, and were just tucking it into their back pocket.It doesn’t end there. By the time Mookie Wilson got to the plate, the Mets now had a 19% chance of winning. Obviously, by the end of his at-bat, they had a 100% chance of winning. Yeap, that one single at-bat made 81% of the difference in this high-stakes game.A further breakdown of this 81% at-bat is very enlightening: Buckner’s error alone represents a 40% change in win probability. That is obviously very significant, but it also means that by the time Mookie put the dribbler in play, the Mets already had a 60% chance of winning.Let’s go back to earlier in the at-bat, back when the Mets had still been at a 19% win probability. Bob Stanley’s wild pitch-which of course plated the tying run-this represents a 41% change in win probability. So it’s basically picking hairs to decide who the bigger goat is here between Stanley and Buckner. But Stanley’s WP stands out to me because it swings the percentages from 19%…”Okay, maybe the Mets have a chance”… to 60%… “Wow, the Mets are in the drivers seat now!”. Buckner’s error takes us from that 60% to the 100%…”Here comes Knight and the Mets win!”. It really speaks to how sad it is that Buckner became Boston’s scapegoat, when a)there are bigger scapegoats in this game alone, and b)the Red Sox were already in serious trouble when the error happened.If you ever see the post-game interviews, it gets worse. Bob Stanley, when asked about his wild pitch, just sat there stewing, muttering about “a ground ball that just got by (Buckner). That was only thing he was willing to talk about during that interview…NOT about his even larger role in the Red Sox’ downfall. In conclusion, f*ck Bob Stanley. Seriously, f*ck this guy.
I watch this over and over and over and I still can’t believe it.The ’86 Mets were the definition of�”bad-ass”.
I was 8 years old, watching this game with my dad in our basement. That final play…we jumped out of our seats in amazement. I remember my dad giving me a high five, which was out of character for him, because he was so excited. I lost my dad this past September. But this memory, the great memory of watching this game with my dad, is why I am a Mets fan today.
RIP Dave Henderson. If Boston had won this game, he would’ve been immortal in New England. Saved their lives in the epic ALCS Gm 5 and would have won it all in this game. Oh well, he won his title with my beloved A’s in 1989. So long Hendu.
Beautifully called game by the announcers. Top quality baseball commentary.
Maybe the greatest rally in baseball history considering the stakes…
Best game i ever saw in my 60 years.
I watched this game in a neighborhood bar in Queens. Place was packed. With two outs, I thought we were toast. Then 3 straight hits, We are screaming like crazy. Then the key play of the game-the wild pitch by Stanley. Everybody forgets that play. Then the roller to Buckner, and when the ball rolled past him, shock, followed by more screaming. Total strangers hugging each other. Never forget it is a long as I live. Next day, I had absolutely no voice, I had screamed myself hoarse. Good thing the next day was a Sunday. The Mets have not won since, this ’86 team was loaded with cokeheads as it turned out. Sad to see Gary Carter on this tape. RIP, Kid. Hard to believe its’� been 27 years. Life just sails along, doesn’t it?
There will never be a crazier ending to a game of such importance ever again in my lifetime. I could live 500 years, and never see a more insane finish than what happened in this game. It will never be duplicated!
Early that season, Bob Stanley was in a slump and being booed by the fans. A local reporter asked him if it bothered him and he said that he’ll get the last laugh when he gets the last out in the world series. When he trotted in from the bullpen I jumped off my sofa and said Holy **** he’s going to do it!!! He didn’t…..
Every time I watch the end, I cry my eyes out.I was working at Burger King, scared in the grill area with my little radio.The restaurant was packed.When the Mets won it, I ran out SCREAMING onto Times Square yelling Mets win.I’ll never forget all the tourists with NO clue as to why this dude with a BK uniform was going ballistic!
Greatest year of my life. Thank you, New York Mets.
Born and raised in Boston and 3rd generation media member, to this day I still don’t know why everyone blamed Buckner. NOBODY blamed Tim Wakefield for Aaron Boone’s home run and nobody blamed Rodney Harrison for the David Tyree catch. Scapegoats and losing go hand in hand and I’ve seen my fair share, but Schiraldi stops pitching, Gedman misses the wild pitch and McNamara leaves in Buckner who gives up the critical error…then lost game 7�….and everyone blames Buckner? I son’t get it
In a career of incredible calls and moments, Vin Scully’s “BEHIND THE BAG…” still stands as one of the greatest ever. He was genuinely shocked.
This game had everything….drama, a comeback from behind win in the last inning with 2 outs, Mookie fouls out several times before Stanley throws a wild pitch, Mookie’s routine ground ball goes through the legs of an accomplished player Buckner, Oil Can boyd talking shit in the game. McNamara taking Clemens out and putting former Met Shiraldi in the game. Did I mention the parachute?

Johnson’s first pitch to Boggs is one of my favorite in baseball
Great great call from Musberger! I had no idea he did this game
One of the greatest games in MLB history. Not to mention the series was exciting to say the least.�
“Lined down the left field line for a base hit! Here comes Joey! Here is Junior to third base, they’re gonna wave him in! The throw to the plate will beee late! THE MARINERS ARE GOING TO PLAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! I DON’T BELIEVE IT! IT JUST CONTINUES! MY! OH! MY!”R.I.P., Dave Niehaus
The series that saved Baseball in Seattle.
What a game!! This game is the reason I started loving baseball.
This gotta be the greatest ALDS ever. The games in NY are classics, the games in Seattle are classics. Add in what Don Mattingly did in this, his only, postseason as well as what Jrvand Edgar did plus you had A-rod and Jeter watching from the benches and you have a series for the ages.
Edgar Martinez is one of the best players of my lifetime and to see him not get the HOF votes he deserves is atrocious. He’s a DH? So what! If a position exists, why can’t that position be in the HOF?�
I’m always baffled how a video like this gets 31 thumbs down. I’m a Yankee fan and my heart broke at the end of this game, but I’m still glad someone posted the game so I could see it again.
One of the greatest finishes in baseball history!!!
Griffey’s smile at the bottom of the dogpile is one of the most unforgettable images in sports for me. That’s exactly how I felt when I witnessed this live back in ’95.
This was the World Series for the Mariners
Back when the Mariners were good and the team actually had some character. Miss that squad! Griffey, I love you.�
Man oh man. I miss those days. I remember EXACTLY were I was watching that inning (eleventh). I was at South Center mall, and they had a TV on in one of the stores display window, and a small crowd included myself watched how it all unfolded. With the hit by Griffey, and then Edgar gaming winning hit was absolutely AMAZING. We all were just screaming and having a great time. That was a great moment in my life. I was probably around 18 at the time. Its moments like that, that made baseball fun for me. So hopefully the Mariners can put together a team that work well together and also win together so in the future another young kid could have great memories the way I do and did.
3:39:45 – the moment that saved baseball in Seattle.
The Mariners were so good back then. Junior is one of the top five players ever in my book. Super clutch player. Martinez was smoking hot in that series!
1995, I can’t believe it was that long ago. Amazing how time flies.
I have watched the ending of this game hundreds of times and I still tear-up every time.
I always get goose bumps whenever Lou motions in Johnson from the pen. Loved how he slowly walked to the mound building up the moment. The crowd was rocking when that happened.
1992 World Series, Game 6: Blue Jays @ Braves
(c) MLB Vault Toronto Blue Jays 4 at Atlanta Braves 3, F/11 — Dave Winfield picked the perfect moment for his first extra-base hit in twelve career World Series games. With the …
R. Alomar, D. White, J. Olerud, J. Carter, D. Winfield, J. Kent, D. Bell, J. Morris, J. Key, J. Guman, D. Wells, D. Cone, and A. Leiter.This Jays team was incredibly stacked for the present and for the future.
always found it so classy that even tough Dave Stieb was injured mid-season and never pitched in the playoffs, they let him stay in the dugout and let him be part of the team when they finally won this big one. this was the classic Jays team, who had so many from the first real winning years: Gruber, Key, Stottlemyre, Ward, Henke, Wells, Gaston, Borders. then adding White, Alomar, Carter, Winfield, and Olerud solidified the team. Rogers needs to study what Pat Gillick did to bring the Jays (and
Man I still get shivers watching that last pitch. What a great day for the Jays and their fans 🙂
I am a Brewers fan, and that year they had done incredibly well, only to see Toronto take the AL East. It just so happened that I was in Toronto on this particular weekend-it was planned well in advance. Sitting in a hotel lobby watching this game on a big screen with about 40 other people. When Winfield came up to bat in the 10th, I remember saying out loud to no one in particular, “He’s due for a hit” because he had hit the ball pretty hard in his last at bat. Wouldn’t you know, he did it. Pretty memorable night. The Jays were amazingly good that year.
With Joe Carter being the first baseman here for the final out, and with the big Homer in ’93, you could say both of the Blue Jays’ World Series wins literally were in Carter’s hands.
Born in 1992 in Scarborough ONT, grew up watching this team, still watch them today, nothing like wining it back – back. JAYS FAN 4EVER !
You could ALWAYS count on Joe Carter in the clutch. My favourite Blue Jay of all time.
Very Great and Underrated Series.Game 6 felt like watching a Game 7
Great, great memories — I remember it as though it was yesterday. Thanks for the upload.To me, this was by far the most defining moment in Jays’ history. Coming into this series they were clearly an outstanding team with lots of talent. And yet, the whole of Toronto was nervous as Hell. Since the late 80’s the Blue Jays had been knocking on the door forever, it seemed, only to screw up at the very end — usually in a ridiculous way. The whole picture changed when when Devon White, Robbie Alomar and Joe Carter were brought on board. Still, 1991’s ALCS loss to the Minnesota Twins was tough to swallow. Not to take anything away from the Twins, but to this day I feel the Jays could’ve, and should’ve won that series. Alas, by the time the 1992 WS came along, so many in Toronto felt as if there was some curse upon the team. There was talk — unjust, I grant you — about the US not wanting the WS Trophy to be won outside the States. Literally everyone was on edge. I even remember my girlfriend telling me at the time that she overheard two old ladies arguing about baseball in a public toilet. One could feel the tension throughout the entire city. We knew our boys were good enough to win it, but there was always this voice at the back of one’s mind saying, “Well, yes — but what if… God forbid!” When the final out closed the deal, the city just erupted! It was like a giant bottle of Champagne, which someone had been shaking for 7 years, until Timlin & Carter blew the cork off. The joy on the streets was indescribable! Total strangers were hugging & kissing each other, and no one knew what to say. Everything was so spontaneous — maybe because people expected the win, but were afraid to admit it, thus they weren’t planning to party. It all makes for a memory that I’d gladly relive from time to time for the rest of my life.Next year’s win was also special, but n a different way. In 1993 the Jays had such an incredible line-up, that no one could have seriously hoped to challenge them. Think about it: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd best batting average in the league that year were all Jays — Olerud, Molitor, and Alomar, respectively. In the 1993 WS Pat Borders was batting 9th in the batting order. That was mind boggling — the #9 batter being the WS MVP the year before… In 1993 there was simply no doubt in anyone’s mind who was going to win it all — even before Carter’s heroics in the bottom of the 9th. But in 1992, it felt more special because many of the players were home-grown, and also there were great contributions from some of the role-players involved. Let me mention a few names, for old time’s sake: Dave Stieb, Kelly Gruber, Eddie Zosky, Alfredo Griffin, John Olerud, Candy Maldonado, Tom Henke, Ed Sprague, Pat Borders, Juan Guzman, Many Lee, Rob Ducey, Jeff Kent, David Wells, Greg Meyers, Dwayne Ward, Turner Ward (and George Bell, who by that time wasn’t a Jay anymore, but should have been). Some of these guys were at the end of their best years, others were to become all-time greats later on; none of them were born in Canada, but the city nurtured their careers for years. They, along with all other players on the 1992 Blue Jays roster should be made honorary citizens of Toronto. Thanks, and thanks again, for these once-in-a-life-time memories, boys!
Just enjoyed this game again for the first time since watching it live in ’92…. A rush of emotions that frankly surprised me after all these years.
What a great Jays team that was.
I will always love those Jays.
Look at Joe C. So calm and collected….laughing at first, joking with the opposition….I never paid attention at the time to how much he was enjoying the moment. Pretty sure nearly everyone else wasn’t. That’s impressive.
I really like Toronto’s ’92 team, but, my heart lies in the spectacular ’93 series.
The 1992 Blue Jays were pretty clearly the best team in the majors that season but because of their failures in prior years people were reluctant to consider them the favorites. They were known around baseball as the “Blow Jays” for their tendency to collapse when the pressure was highest. They re-defined their franchise by winning this.
That game was epic, so good to end the WS on a tight save.
that by far is the greatest collection of mullets you will ever see go jays go.
The Braves were in the NLCS. 1991-1993, 1995-1999, WS. 1991-1992, 1995-1996, 1999. Truly the NL team of the ‘90s.
Happy Silver Anniversary of one of the biggest events in Canadian sports
What a great game.The Jays were such a disciplined hitting team. Look at how this game starts. Single by White, groundout by Alomar moving the runner to third, and a sacrafice fly by Carter (ignoring the error by Justice). 1 run on just 1 hit. Today’s hitters believe its not worth making adjustments just to hit singles and that strikeouts are no worse than getting an out while putting a ball in play. I can’t wait for this line of thinking to go away. There are many ways to generate offence that don’t require hitting homeruns.

This was the happiest day in my grandfather’s life, and he was 89 in 2004 so you can imagine, rest his soul William “Bill” Callaghan Sr. from South Boston.
“This could very well be the beginning of a new golden age for the Boston Red Sox.”The wisest words Joe Buck ever spoke.
I remember the reaction of my father, a lifelong Red Sox fan, after watching this game. He was sitting in his chair not even moving, just looking completely stunned. I asked him “Dad they did it! Why aren’t you celebrating?” He told me, “The failure of this team has been part of the Red Sox identity for so long and all I’ve ever known as a fan during my lifetime. Now that it’s over, I’m not really sure what to do.”
THE Greatest comeback in sports history.
As a cubs fan i love watching this! I hope someday we can break “our curse”..maybe this year who knows!
Where’s the love for Derek Lowe? That guy clinched every game he was asked to that postseason and threw a masterpiece here.
Anyone who was/is a Red Sox fan and lived to experience the “breaking of the curse” that year will NEVER see a more epic baseball season by any team anywhere.

Almost 10 years ago!!! I miss 2004 soooo badly.
I’m a huge Yankee fan but I can remember that pregame piece at 7:42 was so moving. I’ve never felt so emotionally conflicted watching a pregame show in my life.
Back to Foulke. Red Sox Fans have longed to hear it, The Boston Red Sox are World Champions.
If watching this game, especially the end, doesn’t give you chills, I question the fact that you have a spine…
2004 my favorite year in baseball.
Just watched the Cubs win the world series, so I just wanted to come back and relive the memories…
Still brings tears to my eyes today. Loved seeing this. Red Sox for life
10 years later, and this World Series is still An Unforgettable Classic!
