It was the summer of 2004 and the Boston Red Sox were facing their arch-rivals, the New York Yankees, in the American League Championship Series. The Yankees had won the first three games of the series, leaving the Red Sox on the brink of elimination. The odds were against them, but the Red Sox had other plans.

Game 4 started off like the previous three, with the Yankees taking an early lead. The Red Sox tried to rally, but the Yankees were too strong and held onto their lead for most of the game. It wasn't until the bottom of the ninth inning that the Red Sox showed signs of life.

With the score at 4-3 and the Yankees just one out away from victory, the Red Sox rallied. Kevin Millar drew a walk off Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, and Dave Roberts came on as a pinch-runner. The crowd at Fenway Park came alive as Roberts stole second base, putting himself in scoring position.

The next batter, Bill Mueller, hit a single to center field, driving in Roberts and tying the game. The Red Sox had new life, and they weren't going to let it slip away.

The game went into extra innings, and in the bottom of the 12th, David Ortiz hit a walk-off home run, sending Fenway Park into a frenzy. The Red Sox had come back from the brink of elimination and kept their World Series hopes alive.
