In the 2004 American League Championship Series, the Boston Red Sox found themselves in a seemingly insurmountable situation against perennial rivals, the New York Yankees. Down three games to none in the best-of-seven series, the Red Sox were facing elimination on their home turf in Game 4.

But what followed was a historic turnaround that would forever be remembered as "The Miracle of the 2004 ALCS."

In Game 4, the Red Sox rallied from a 4-3 deficit in the bottom of the 12th inning to tie the game and send it to extras. Then, in the 14th inning, designated hitter David Ortiz delivered a walk-off home run to keep Boston alive.

In Game 5, the Red Sox continued their streak with a 5-4 victory in the bottom of the ninth inning, thanks to a game-winning single by Ortiz. Game 6 saw the Red Sox dominate with a score of 4-2, setting up a do-or-die Game 7 back in Yankee Stadium.

The dramatic finale would see the Red Sox again trail early on, but they fought back with a string of hits and took a commanding lead. The Yankees managed to close the gap in the bottom of the eighth inning, but Ortiz struck again with a two-run homer to give Boston a 10-5 lead.

From there, the Red Sox held on to win the game 10-3 and complete the most improbable comeback in MLB history, becoming the first team to overcome a 3-0 deficit and advance to the World Series.
