One of the most remarkable games in MLB history: the 2004 ALCS Game Seven

October 20, 2004, was a night that will be forever etched in the memories of every baseball fan who witnessed it. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox were tied 3-3 in the American League Championship Series, and Game Seven would determine which team would advance to the World Series.

The game started off with a bang as Johnny Damon of the Red Sox hit a leadoff home run off of Yankees starter Kevin Brown. However, the Yankees took control of the game and took a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning, with closer Mariano Rivera on the mound.

But then, the impossible happened. The Red Sox rallied, with a series of hits and walks, and tied the game at 4-4. They had a chance to win it in the ninth but failed, sending the game into extra innings.

What happened next was pure magic. The Red Sox scored three runs in the top of the 12th inning, with a clutch two-run home run from David Ortiz, and they held on to their lead in the bottom of the 12th. The curse of the Bambino, a 86-year championship drought for Boston, was broken.

The game was over, but the significance of it will never be forgotten. It was a game that encapsulated the history and rivalry of the two teams, and it proved that anything is possible in baseball. The 2004 ALCS Game Seven will always be remembered as one of the most remarkable games in MLB history.
