Don Baylor and Dave Henderson (pictured) hit ninth-inning home runs in Game 5 to pull the Red Sox out of a three-run hole and spark Boston's comeback. The Red Sox won that game in extra innings to send the series back to Boston, then cruised in Games 6 and 7 by a combined score of 18-5.
In the series that exorcised "the Curse of the Bambino," the Red Sox came back from a 3 games-to-none deficit, becoming the first team in Major League history to do so. Curt Schilling's bloody sock from Game 6 is the iconic image of the series, but David Ortiz, who had walk-off hits in Games 4 and 5, and Johnny Damon, who hit two home runs in a Game 7 rout, were also heroes.

After being shut down by Jake Westbrook and Paul Byrd in Games 3 and 4, the Red Sox hammered Indians' aces C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona the next two games to even the series at three. Game 7 at Fenway was close until Boston exploded for six runs in the seventh inning, sealing another trip to the World Series.
