In 2004, the Boston Red Sox overcame insurmountable odds against their most hated rival en route to their first Championship since 1918.
Behind a dominant, three-hit effort by Derek Lowe, the Red Sox completed their World Series sweep of the Cardinals, winning their first title in 86 years. 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.
