 14 years ago today the Red Sox were in the midst of an 86 year wait for a World Series title themselves as Street looked to continue Boston dropped the first three games of the ALCS to the Yankees But in game four the fortunes of the franchise would soon change forever big poppy and Alex take it away Thanks, KB. So we're gonna go down memory lane a little bit here big poppy. I remember 2004 I was 28 years old you were 27 well at least in 27 And We were up 3-0 we had just beat the piss out of you in game three we were thinking We're going to the World Series and we have Mariano Rivera on the mound He pitched a clean eighth inning and here comes goofy Kevin Millar. He concerned me for two reasons Number one. He's a right-handed hitter Righties always saw and hit Mariano better better. Yeah in Kevin as goofy as he is that man can hit Oh, yeah, and he knows the strike zone Oh, yeah, and I also knew that he didn't give a crap about Mariano. He was gonna fight him to the nail Before Millar drew that walk, did you think it was over? You know, you're facing the best of the best at the time But you're in steam and and and what you're supposed to do is just fight back and That's exactly what we end up doing. We have Dave Roberts coming in stealing the bag Robert's Persona throws a bullet. Yeah, Jeter makes a perfect tag. Yeah, just gets in there. What are you thinking at that point? We have man in second With Mariano pitching That is something that you barely see guys getting to first base Well, Mariano was in the mouth, but getting to second base. That's that just you saw the whole crowd going crazy You sold it seems like everything come back alive, but I had a question for you. Yeah, what when you guys? As a Yankee start feeling the pressure when you guys start feeling that you are one trouble when Miller was at the plate And I knew very vividly in my mind that the home run as a walk-off was at daygame in Fenway earlier that year And I also knew he won the batting title, but because it was Mariano Rivera I felt like we had you know Superman on the mound I'm watching the whole thing and now The motivation and the momentum It feels like it's going on our way. Even if we were three and all It almost felt like at that point you had nothing to lose You're playing with the house's money and we had all the recourse on us We had to now finish and we had the responsibility to close and obviously we never closed But I'll share one thing with you poppy is in and this was a bad feeling that I got in The bottom of the eighth inning after the eighth was over Mariano just had a one two three You're feeling pretty good I went down to get an extra set of batting gloves. It was super cold that night and I couldn't get in my in my locker because it was full of plastic and All the champagne was ready and everyone's ready to party and I was so pissed off That I said screw the batting gloves I said why are these things up and I just kind of walked out and I just didn't like that because I Am a believer that you never celebrate till it's truly over The temperature continues to fall here in Boston as we move to the bottom of the 12th the 4-4 game You know how we approach preachers we go back to the history that we have with him and you make up your mind As I was getting mature And getting more experienced and I used to work on history and result And it was three homers that I hid during the playoff that I Specter speakers to give me those pictures Control Paul when he was with the Blue Jays He have the front door fastball that he will throw it right at you and boom come back to the plate and The minute I saw him coming out of bullpen I went to looking for the front door fast I Did that home when you hit a quadro decorated your life it ruined mine and decorated yours Anyways, this is the most as well the most torturous segment I've ever done in my Fox career. Thank you very much I'm so like therapy KB back to you I'm a therapist
