Well, you were right. It sure was something. Just the plot lines surrounding the whole thing, from the rain delay causing the final 4 games to be on 4 straight days, David Ortiz's walkoffs, Schilling's bloody sock, ARod's glove slap, Derek Lowe & Johnny Damon's redemption in game 7, if this were a movie script, it'd be called out for being too unbelievable and overdramatic.

Partly cause its baseball, so there are alot of moments of complete still and calm, but to me this is one of the most erie moments in sports, this inning starts right before the clock strikes midnight. This video doesn't show it, but when the broadcast comes back from commercial, to start the bottom of the 9th, Joe Buck does a monologue, about everything that has gone wrong for the red sox in the past three games and 24 hours, how much the yankees out scored them by ect,. Then the camera shows the clock as the clock strikes minight, and Joe Bucks comments on it, and how the red sox are three outs away from being swept. And it was like after the clock strikes midnight, everything turns around. They show the face of a kid at 2:21 who has the look that sums up all red sox fans emotions. Utter exhaustion. Enough is enough said God. And Rivera throws ball 4. And after that everything went right.

@Chickmagnut90 Basically it was a pitch out only better. Look at where that pitch was thrown. High fastball just outside the strike zone. Perfect location for a catcher. It gave Posada the best opportunity to stand and throw Roberts out in one motion. Most traditional pitchouts are more to the outside and usually have a bit less oomph on them (to avoid a wild pitch). The problem is Roberts had a big lead and a great jump. It would have taken a perfect throw to nail him. And it was a very good throw. Quick release and accurate. But it wasn't perfect. Just slightly to the shortstop side of the bag. That was just enough to let Robert's BARELY beat the tag.

Janine Lea indubitably. God dang Yankees. Just like the rebs in the civil war.

Talk about passion.After what the Red Sox adored the year before.The Sox fans were and are still the most passionate sports fan in not only baseball but in all American sports !.

Man this hurts. I sucked it up and finally sat and watched this inning. About 16 years later. Man we had it. A sweep in boston at our fingers tip. Dare i say, hats off to the sox, thats how you break a curse. Definitely shifted the tide. Since this, after 04, boston has won it in 07, 13, and 18. My yanks , only in 09. Hopefully we get back on top soon

GREATEST COMEBACK IN ALL OF SPORTS HISTORY!!!!!

Conversation from Dave Roberts from 1st base coach: 1st base coach:(whispering) hey, steal second base Dave:okay

Without a doubt one of the greatest moments in sports history.

My goodness.. the crowd when Mueller got that hit, and Roberts scored.. That might have been the biggest "pop" I've heard in sports. THAT WAS LOUD! Brings back soooo many good memories!!!!

As a Cubs fan, this has got to be one of my favorite moments in the ALCS that year. My other favorite moments were the Ortiz walk-off home run in the 12th inning, the walk-off single in the 14th, the bloody sock game, and the Red Sox blowout victory in Game 7.

The moment that sparked the greatest playoff series comeback in American Team Sports History.

I literally watch this at least once a week.

Not even a Red Sox fan, yet I seem to watch this every other month. Such an amazing half-inning.

My great-grandfather was the biggest Sox fan, and always wanted to see them win a World Series. He died in 2003, aged 79. His widow saw them win 3 times before she passed away in 2014. No matter how toxic Boston fans are, I will always love the Boston Red Sox because of what they meant to my family

In a parallel universe, the Red Sox go 1-2-3 in the ninth and the curse continues. Though to be serious, even though Boston won this game, they were still down 3-1 and the percentages were heavily against them. I think that Yankee fans will not only regret this inning but what happened the following day when the Yankees took a 4-2 lead into the eighth. Blow one game fine, but two? Man.

The Yankees were so heavily favored, especially since they won the first 3 games and really seemed to have the upper hand. No one expected the Sox to win game 4, never mind the series. I was at my parent’s house that day, a divided Sox/yanks household. Dad was thrilled at the prospect of the Yankees humiliating the Sox two years in a row. Mom said, “wait til next year”, just as she had every year since being born into a Sox family. I was rooting for the Sox but since I ‘m a realist I didnt hold out much hope. That game changed everything for Sox fans and made us believe in miracles, especially the older fans like my Mom who had witnessed so much failure.

what really hurt the yankees is that they had several chances in both games 4 and 5 to widen there lead and they didnt capitalize

What an amazing comeback and phenomenal Red Sox team (only superseded by the 2018 team in my humble opinion). I became a baseball & Yankees fan in 2001 and so have only witnessed one championship season for my beloved Yankees in the past twenty years. This had to be one of our lowest points. Then again I sometimes think of Texas Rangers fans who were agonizingly one strike away from winning their first ever championship in 2011. PS: I try to not use the term “World series” because as a die hard soccer fan, I am used to the word “World” being used for a truly global competition and not a regional/continental competition.

One of the first times I'd seen an MLB season right through - this was a fantastic series. Great to see it again - thank you. Greetings from the UK.

This is why you never lose hope even if you’re down 3-0. As long as still in there, amazing things can happen.

I agree

The call for Mueller to swing away after showing bunt on the previous pitch was pure genius. Fooled the Yankees' battery into thinking they were giving up an out to get Roberts to 3rd. Mueller got himself a meatball and he didn't miss it.

Getting ready for today’s Wild Card game by watching old clips!!

The start of the greatest comeback in sports history and the most cathartic experience Red Sox fans will ever know.

still get chills

Sox and Yankees games during this era was so tense and caused so much heartache lol....Miss those days

Love love loved this rivalry. Yankees fan myself, don’t even like MLB much these days mostly because nothing will ever top Jeter, Mo, and company. Same goes for the Sox though with Manny, Papi, Varitek. Just absolutely legendary.

5:03, the most important moment in the history of the Boston Red Sox.

"Well you know the rest. Rivera walks Millar, Roberts runs and steals second, Mueller drives him in, Ortiz an extra inning, extra innings again the next game, Schilling's bloody sock in New York, Lowe and Pedro find their form, Damon's grand salami in Game 7. Bye-Bye Bambino!" -Fever Pitch

The turning point of the series and of a franchise. A beautiful sequence of events that helped reverse the curse. First the walk, then the steal by Roberts, then the Bill Mueller hit to score Robert’s as the tying run, ultimately culminating in Big Papi with the walk off to win it. Then he hit a walk off single in game 5 to send it back to New York. And we all remember what happened next. And I’m glad I witnessed this live. How time flies. This was 19 years ago and it still feels like it was just yesterday.

+Lee Pavano We can agree to disagree, but you're missing out. My best baseball memories are from the 90's too, and for awhile there I thought that there was no way baseball could survive once Ripken, Gwynn, Griffey, Jeter, etc. all retired. But I realized that baseball stops for no man, and almost every single day something happens that has never happened before in the sport. Like just the other day, for the first time ever, every home team won their game. 2011 ended with the most exciting day of baseball in the history of the sport, regardless of who you're a fan of. And if you missed it, you missed history. 2011's World Series was also amazing. In 2015 we're seeing some of the most talented baseball players to ever step on the field. Between Trout, Harper, Stanton, and Bryant, baseball has never been in better hands. I never thought I'd say that but it's true. If you're not watching now, you're missing out on what might turn out to be the best player to ever play the game (Trout)

Rivera Was a Man when he lost OR won. and unlike a great many other athletes, when he blew a save... There he was , mic's in his face, answering Questions. He left the mound the same way every time... With Class. He was what you hope ALL players would be like, all the time... But they rarely where, And he Always was.

When Miller hit the ball back up the middle, that's the most emotion I think I've ever seen out of Rivera on a baseball field. It only lasted for 0.3 seconds, but if you look quickly, you can see it.

I still remember Rivera v Roberts on 1st base was probably one of the most tense moments I can remember in baseabll

I was at that game wow
