Alright, I understand that argument, but I'm not going to pick it. I'm going to say the play that started it all and ended an 86 year curse. When Dave Roberts pinch ran for Kevin Millar in Game Four of the 2004 ALCS, after being down 3-0 to the Yankees, he stole second. That wasn't the end of it, though. He still had to get home. Bill Mueller did just that. A shallow roller into right-center sent the speedy Roberts into a magnificent slide. The Red Sox never looked back after that. They won eight straight, came back against the Yankees, steamrolled the Cardinals, and ended eight and a half decades of baseball pain in the Hub. It was a roller, but it was BIG.
I agree with you. One little hit led to such big stuff!
