2. One team led game one 8-0 in the seventh inning before the other team came back to make it 8-7 in the eighth. Boston had the 8-0 lead?

Answer: 12

After rallying to tie the game in the 9th inning, the Red Sox had many chances to win before they won the game in the 12th inning.
6. Who hit the winning home run in game 4?

Answer: David Ortiz

Ortiz, Boston's cleanup hitter, hit a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 12th to win the game for the Red Sox.
7. What is David Ortiz's nickname?

Answer: Big Papi

After Yankees fans began the "Who's Your Daddy?" chant against Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez, Red Sox fans chanted "Who's Your Papi", each time Ortiz came up to bat. Papi is a term of respect in Latin America.
8. What was the final score of Game 5?

After rallying to tie the game in the 8th inning, the Red Sox scored the go-ahead run in extra innings to win the game 5-4.
9. How many innings did Game 5 go to?

Answer: 14

After the Red Sox tied the game 4-4 in the 8th, they had several chances to score in extra innings and stranded several baserunners, before David Ortiz played the hero again, hitting a line drive up the middle in the 14th inning to drive in the winning run.
10. Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS set a playoff record for longest game.

Answer: True

The game, which was scheduled after Game 3 of the series was rained out the previous Friday night, began at 5:10 ET on Monday. It was not over until about 11:00 ET. The game lasted 5 hours 48 minutes, making it the longest in baseball postseason history.
11. What was the score of Game 6?

Answer: 4-2 Red Sox

The Red Sox managed to win this game in nine innings, despite two controversial calls which, if they had gone the other way, could have spelled doom for Boston.
12. Who hit the three run home run in game 6 in the 4th inning that bounced off a fan and was originally ruled a double?

Answer: Mark Bellhorn

Bellhorn, who had been in a lengthy batting slump, blasted the ball to the left field wall, where it hit a fan wearing a dark sweater and bounced back onto the field. Yankees left fielder Hideki Matsui paused for a moment - he knew it was a home run. The umpires got together and made the right call.
13. Who pitched the win for the Red Sox in Game 6?

Answer: Curt Schilling

Schilling, whose poor Game 1 start turned out to be caused by a loose tendon in his ankle, had doctors suture the tendon out of place to stop it from snapping, so he could pitch in Game 6. With the Boston red blood showing through his sock, Schilling pitched an amazing 7 innings, allowing just one run on a Bernie Williams solo shot.

His performance will go down as one of the greatest in playoff history.
14. Boston won Game 7 and the series?

Answer: True

The Red Sox, after clawing their way back into the series from a 3-0 deficit, pounded the Yankees in Game 7 by a score of 10-3. Johnny Damon, who had been slumping all series, had 6 RBI, including a grand slam in the second and a two-run shot later on. Derek Lowe pitched the victory for Boston, who defeated the Yankees for the first time in the playoffs.
15. Who won the ALCS MVP award?

Answer: David Ortiz

Ortiz, who came up huge for the Red Sox when it mattered in games 4 and 5, won the ALCS MVP award. Ortiz also hit a 2-run homer to get the ball rolling for Boston in Game 7.
