There's nothing worse in sports than losing to your rival. But getting swept by your rival in a 7-game series is salt in the wound, and that gloomy fate was all but certain for the 2004 Boston Red Sox. A cursed franchise, the Red Sox hadn't won the World Series in 86 years, and trailing 0-3 to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series, it was all but certain it would soon be 87 years without a title. But could one Kevin Millar pep talk get the Sox back in the mix? Game 4 was do or die.
