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]
Yankees–Red Sox rivalry On August 12, 2017, the Red Sox collected their 1,000th win against the Yankees.[citation needed] On September 6, 2017, The New York Times reported that the Red Sox had been using an Apple Watch to relay Yankee hand signs to Red Sox batters as they played. The use of electronic devices to communicate such information is in violation of baseball rules.[340]
