when did the red sox sweep the world series
2004 World Series The 2004 World Series was the 100th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series. It featured the American League (AL) champions Boston Red Sox against the National League (NL) champions St. Louis Cardinals.[1] The Red Sox defeated the Cardinals by four games to none in the best-of-seven series, played at Fenway Park and Busch Memorial Stadium. The series was played from October 23â€“27, 2004, broadcast on Fox, and watched by an average of just under 25.5 million viewers. The Red Sox became the third straight wild card team to win the World Series; the Anaheim Angels won in 2002 and the Florida Marlins won in 2003.[2]
List of Boston Red Sox no-hitters One perfect game, a special subcategory of no-hitter, has been pitched in Red Sox history. As defined by Major League Baseball, "in a perfect game, no batter reaches any base during the course of the game."[3] Every opposing batter is retired. This feat was achieved by Cy Young in 1904.[7] Young's perfect game, pitched on May 5, 1904, also was the first no-hitter in Red Sox history; the most recent Red Sox no-hitter was thrown by Jon Lester on May 19, 2008.[7]
