Finally (Red Sox are the Champions After 86 Years) - Boston Globe

The 2004 Red Sox are champions because they engineered the greatest comeback in baseball history when they won four straight games against the hated New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. It was a baseball epic, an event for the ages that put the Sox into a World Series that was profoundly anticlimactic. From the writers, editors, and photographers of the award-winning "Boston Globe" comes the official 2004 Special Commemorative Book.
