2004 ALCS Ticket

The 2004 ALCS - American League Championship Series was played between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, at Yankee Stadium (series games 1,2,6,7) and Fenway Park, (series games 3,4,5) from October 12 to 20, 2004. The tickets are numbered by home games. Both teams had home games 1 to 4 printed, leaving Boston's Fenway Park "Home Game 4" ticket as a phantom (never played). Fenway Park Home Game 4 is often mistakenly sold as series game 7 tickets. Yankee Stadium Home Game 4, series game 7, the clinching game for Boston, sells at a premium price over the other games.

David Ortiz's 12th inning walk-off home run in series game 4, and Curt Schilling's bloody sock in series game 6 highlighted the 2004 ALCS. After the Yankees took a two game lead at Yankee Stadium, then the first game at Fenway Park 19-8, the Red Sox found themselves facing a sweep at the hands of the Evil Empire. The Home Game 2 ticket (series game 4) witnessed the start of the greatest comeback in Post Season history.

Down in the game 4-3 in the ninth, with Yankees HOF closer Mariano Rivera on the mound, Boston's Kevin Millar led off with a single. Pinch-runner Dave Roberts stole second base, and Bill Mueller game tying hit sent the game into extra innings. After Manny Ramirez led-off the 12th inning with a single, David Ortiz gave the Red Sox the win with a two-run walk-off home run.

Schilling had suffered a tendon injury to his right ankle, and underwent a procedure prior to game 6, to suture the tendon in his ankle. He went on to pitch seven innings, allowing only one run on four hits, but during the game one of the sutures had come loose. The growing blood stain on his right sock added to the drama.

After "The Bloody Sock Game" (Yankees Home Game 3 ticket) the Red Sox won Game 7, to become the first team to ever come back in a seven game series, down 3-0. The Red Sox would then sweep the St. Louis Cardinals (4-0) in the World Series, ending "The Curse of the Bambino"
