October 17th is Day One of the epic 2004 Red Sox comeback. Should it be called Dave Roberts Day? Don't Let us Win Tonight Day? 8 years ago tonight it all happened. Kevin Millar warned us and had the biggest walk in Red Sox history. Here is my blog post from a year ago to celebrate the night.

Hope is all we have. There is not much to celebrate about the current affairs of the Red Sox but tonight marks an important anniversary in Red Sox history. Tim Wakefield made the ultimate sacrifice eight years ago tonight. His sacrifice led to the greatest comeback ever. Hope is all we have, just like eight years ago tonight. Here is a post from a year ago about that special night
