Heading into Game 4 of the World Series, the New York Yankees seemed deader than disco.
Historically speaking, the series ended in Game 3.
Of the 24 previous World Series in which one team jumped out to a 3-0 lead, 21 ended in sweeps, and the other three ended in Game 5.
Forget about actually completing the comeback. No one had even really threatened to pull it off.
And there was nothing about the Yankees' vibe in the previous two games that suggested they would be one of those teams to force a fifth game.
