Cleveland Indians

By Administrator In 2003, by defeating the A’s by the score of 5-4, the Red Sox became the seventh team to win the last three games in order to win a best-of-five playoff series… the other teams to overcome an 0-2 deficit include the 1981 Dodgers (Astros-NLDS), 1982 Brewers (Angels-ALCS), 1984 Padres (Cubs...

By Administrator J D Drew was viewed as a bust after the 2007 season… that is, until he hit a grand slam in the first inning of Game Six of the ALCS against the Cleveland Indians.

By Administrator Combined with this afternoon’s Tampa Bay loss, the win kept the Red Sox mathematically alive in the chase for the AL East title.
