Netflix’s new documentary, “The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox” offers a cathartic look back at the most stunning comeback in baseball history.
But the three-part series is also unearthing plenty of new talking points and storylines from the Red Sox’ epic seven-game bout with the Yankees two decades ago.
Headlining those new narratives is a claim from Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling, and several other Red Sox players that Boston found a microphone in the Yankee Stadium visitor’s clubhouse before Game 2 of the ‘04 ALCS.
“I remember before the game, just getting up to the ceiling of the clubhouse and pulling a microphone and I guess a little device that was relaying our conversations,” Martinez noted in the series, as transcribed by Michael Silverman of The Boston Globe.
