After decades and decades of heartbreak, the curse was finally reversed. This 20 x 24 photograph features the 2004 Boston Red Sox celebrating their first World Series title in 86 years. The Red Sox made a historic comeback in the ALCS against their archrival New York Yankees when they dropped the first three games of the series. After winning Games 4 & 5 at Fenway, the Red Sox went back to Yankee Stadium to complete the historic comeback victory. The Red Sox then went on to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series to capture the title and bring un-paralleled joy to New England and the rest of Red Sox Nation. This classic celebration image was captured after the last out of the 2004 World Series and has been signed in blue Sharpie by 26 members of this historic team. Signatures include Alan Embree, Bronson Arroyo, Manny Ramirez, Curt Schilling, Curtis Lescanic, Dale Svuem, Dave Roberts, Derek Lowe, Doug Mirabelli, Gabe Kapler, Jason Varitek, Johnny Damon, Keith Foulke, Kevin Millar, Mark Bellhorn, Mike Myers, Orlando Cabrera, Pedro Martinez, Pokey Reese, Ramiro Mendoza, Tim Wakefield, Trot Nixon and others. This photo has been mounted in a framed display with a silver-plated tag that reads “BOSTON RED SOX ROAD TO THE 2004 WORLD SERIES ALDS – BEAT THE ANAHEIM ANGELS 3-0. ALCS – BEAT THE YANKEES 4-3. AFTER FALLING BEHIND 3-0 IN THE SERIES, BOSTON BECAME THE FIRST TEAM IN HISTORY TO WIN FOUR STRAIGHT GAMES IN A BEST-OF-SEVEN SERIES. WORLD SERIES – BEAT THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 4-0.
