The Boston Red Sox had much to celebrate during a 2007 season that culminated in a World Series championship but along the way they staged one of the most thrilling regular-season comebacks in franchise history.
On May 13, 2007, the Red Sox hosted the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park. This was supposed to be a cakewalk on a Mother’s Day afternoon. Boston had gone 15-3 against the division-rival Orioles the previous year and they had taken three of the first four match-ups to begin that season.
These clubs were heading in opposite directions at the time but the scrappy O’s put up an unexpected fight.
