Between 2004 and 2007, the Boston Red Sox enjoyed one of their best runs in franchise history. It was during this period that they won their first World Series in almost 90 years before adding another championship two years later. The team was led by some of the game's biggest stars, including David Ortiz, Curt Schilling, and Manny Ramirez, and their heroics have gone down in Red Sox lore.

The story of the team's 2004 season is one of the greatest sports narratives of all time. After falling behind 3-0 to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series, the Red Sox rallied to win four straight games and advance to the World Series. From there, they completed the historic comeback by sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals to win their first championship since 1918. This improbable run was fueled by the clutch hitting of David Ortiz, the dominant pitching of Curt Schilling and the grit and determination of the entire team.

The 2005 season saw the Red Sox miss out on the playoffs, but they bounced back in dominant fashion the following year. The 2006 team finished with a record of 86-76, good enough for a spot in the postseason. Led by another dominant performance from David Ortiz, the Red Sox made their way to the American League Championship Series but fell to the eventual champion, the Detroit Tigers.

In 2007, the Red Sox once again found themselves in the World Series, and they did not disappoint. They swept the Colorado Rockies in four games to win their second championship in four years. The team was once again led by their stars, with David Ortiz being named the World Series MVP and Manny Ramirez hitting a crucial home run in the deciding Game 4.

Throughout this four-year period, the Red Sox were known for their dominant offense, led by David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. The duo combined for hundreds of home runs and provided a fearsome middle of the order. The team also featured strong pitching, with Curt Schilling and Josh Beckett leading a rotation that could shut down even the most potent offenses.

Off the field, the team was known for its strong clubhouse culture, with players like Kevin Millar and Johnny Damon fostering a loose and fun atmosphere. This camaraderie helped the team stay loose in big moments and allowed them to come together when it mattered most.

The legacy of this Red Sox team is one that will be remembered for generations. The team's 2004 World Series win was the culmination of an improbable run that saw them overcome one of the biggest deficits in sports history. Their 2007 championship cemented their status as one of the best teams of the decade, and their star players continue to be remembered as some of the franchise's all-time greats.

In the end, the Boston Red Sox 2004-2007 were a team that captured the hearts of fans around the world. They were a team that played with heart, passion, and an unmatched determination to win. Their legacy will echo throughout baseball history and will be remembered as a golden era for the Red Sox franchise.

Seasons

6. 2007 World Series, Game 4: Red Sox at Rockies

October 28, 2007

Boston Red Sox 4 at Colorado Rockies 3, F -- There was certainly no 86-year wait this time. The Red Sox used two homers and superb pitching to complete a sweep and propel once-title-starved Boston to its second World Series title in four seasons. It all ended with Jonathan Papelbon, the closer who has been brilliant all year and into the postseason, striking out Seth Smith on 95-mph heat. The fiery right-hander tossed his glove high in the air with joy, took his hat off and then embraced catcher Jason Varitek after saving the World Series clincher for left-hander Jon Lester. From there, it was a sea of Red Sox piling on top of each other in the middle of the diamond.

5. 2007 ALCS, Game 7: Indians at Red Sox

October 21, 2007

Cleveland Indians 2 at Boston Red Sox 11, F -- The Red Sox are the AL's best as they rode the home crowd and Dustin Pedroia's five RBIs to surge past the Indians. Daisuke Matsuzaka's solid start and a six-out save by closer Jonathan Papelbon bookended Boston's return to the Fall Classic. Boston completed its dramatic comeback from 3-1 down in this series, becoming the first team in Major League history to pull off that feat three times.

4. 2007 ALDS, Game 3: Red Sox at Angels

October 7, 2007

Boston Red Sox 9 at Los Angeles Angels 1, F -- Go wild, Beantown! The Red Sox are returning to the ALCS for the first time since 2004. Boston swept LA behind a magnificent effort by Curt Schilling, who hurled seven scoreless innings, and back-to-back homers by its magnificent duo -- David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez -- in the fourth inning.

3. 2004 World Series, Game 4: Red Sox at Cardinals

October 27, 2004

Boston Red Sox 3 at St. Louis Cardinals 0, F -- The Curse, Reversed! 86 years in the making and behind a dominant, three-hit effort by Derek Lowe, the Red Sox completed their World Series sweep of the Cardinals, winning their first title since 1918. Johnny Damon's first-inning home run started the scoring for Boston, and Trot Nixon hit a two-run double in the third. Manny Ramirez was named series MVP.

2. 2004 ALCS, Game 6: Red Sox at Yankees

October 19, 2004

Boston Red Sox 4 at New York Yankees 2, F -- The Bloody Sock: They seemed to be clinging onto fading hopes over the weekend at Fenway Park, as the board on the door exiting the Red Sox clubhouse offered a simple message. "We can change history. Believe it!" Simply by riding Curt Schilling's gritty performance and Mark Bellhorn's three-run homer to a 4-2 victory over the Yankees, the Red Sox were in a class all by themselves in the annals of Major League Baseball history. Of the 25 previous teams that trailed a best-of-seven postseason series 3-0, none had ever forced a Game 7. Until now. The Red Sox hopped on Schilling's back, and somehow the big righty's ailing right ankle -- which would be operated on as soon as this season ended -- didn't buckle.

1. 2004 ALCS, Game 5: Yankees at Red Sox

October 18, 2004

New York Yankees 4 at Boston Red Sox 5, F/14 -- Fresh off a 12-inning epic the night before, in which the Sox were three outs away from being unceremoniously swept out from the ALCS, Game 5 itself is an all-time playoff classic. Back and forth all game long, the Sox entered the 8th inning down two runs, but stormed back behind a David Ortiz homer and a Jason Varitek sacrifice fly to tie it up. The game would remain that way until the 14th, when Ortiz would again step to the dish.
