It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years. On this night, a decade and a half ago, the Boston Red Sox reversed the curse.
October 27, 2004. That’s the night that the Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4 of the World Series to complete the sweep and capture their first championship in 86 years.
Derek Lowe tossed seven shutout innings to earn the victory. The veteran’s last season in Boston was easily his least productive in a Red Sox uniform but he more than made up for it by stepping up in the postseason.
