Remarkable Moments

This is the team that swept the St. Louis Cardinals to give Boston its first championship in 86 years, finally putting to rest talk of The Curse of The Bambino. On the way to the Championship, the Red Sox staged the Greatest Comeback in Baseball History against their bitter rivals, the New York Yankees. This amazing victory was just further evidence of the Curse of ARod.

The 2004 Red Sox also beat up A-Rod in The Brawl Game, won 21 of 23 games late in the season, and witnessed the departure of Nomar Garciaparra, a long time Boston favorite. He exited in a four team trade that sent him and prospect Matt Murton to the Chicago Cubs and got Doug Mientkiewicz from the Minnesota Twins and Orlando Cabrera from the Montreal Expos.
