Throughout the rich history of baseball, only one team has ever erased a 3-0 series deficit.
When Terry Francona’s Boston Red Sox, the once-cursed franchise that has now won three championships in the past 13 seasons, came back to stun the New York Yankees in the fall of 2004, it was scrappy Kevin Millar providing the memorable quote heading into Game 7 at Yankee Stadium.
“We have a chance to shock the United States of America,” Millar said.
One reporter took it a step further, asking, “What about the world?”
“Yeah, there you go, we’ll shock the world,” Millar said.
