Dan Secatore makes many great points and observations that deserve a deeper dive in his 34 Stray Thoughts About the 2004 Red Sox Documentary on Netflix post from yesterday, but I feel compelled to dive into this one specifically:
The Dave Roberts steal in game four gets all the attention (I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of younger non-Red Sox/Yankee fans incorrectly assume that steal happened in game seven), as does Curt Schilling’s bloody sock performance in game six, but game five was easily the best game of the 2004 ALCS. It deserves to be talked about a lot more.
