The Greatest Comeback in Sports History Complete

This was the Story. The one that everyone waited for. The Comeback. In the year of the Underdogs (Pistons, Lighting, even Panthers even though they lost, no one expected them to make it), this just capped it. Down 3-0 to the New York Yankees, the Red Sox were dead in the water, or were they? How could a cursed team come back from 3-0 and win the series? It could never happen!!! But it did! And so here they were. Standing in the World Series. And not only did they complete the comeback. But they SWEPT! Possibly the Most Historic, Incredible, Amazing story in Sports history. This will be talked about for ages to come.
