Boston Red Sox 2004 World Series Tickets Still Hot
BOSTON--The Red Sox are World Champions. Yes, it's true. It haD been 86 years in the making and now the waiting is over. The Red Sox are champions of the world. And funny thing ... after making history in a drag-em-out, nail-biting, seat-of-your-pants, seven-game battle royal with the Yankees, the World Series was a breeze. In fact, Boston never trailed in its four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Red Sox scored in the first inning of every game and, with the exception of Game 1, never looked back. "This is for anyone who ever played for the Red Sox, anyone who ever rooted for the Red Sox, anyone who has ever been to Fenway Park. This is bigger than the 25 players in this clubhouse," 30-year-old general manager Theo Epstein told the media after the final victory. "This is for all of Red Sox Nation past and present."
For fans who attended any of the four World Series games, their tickets remain as valuable today as they did on game day. Boston's Fenway Park hosted Games 1 & 2 and tickets were scanned upon entry. Thus, all Fenway Park tickets are full (or untorn) and fetching $100 to $300 in online auctions. "Red Sox fans kept their tickets. There really is no supply," said Dean Macchi, president of ThatsMyTicket.com, whose Ticket Frame product displays game tickets. "Cardinals fans have been more open to letting their tickets go. So there are a number of Game 3 and Game 4 Busch Stadium tickets available. But
those tickets were torn as fans entered the ballpark."
The Red Sox celebration kicked off on the 18th anniversary of the team's Game 7 loss in the 1986 World Series. And by beating the Cardinals, Boston avenged its 1946 and 1967 World Series heartaches. After all the franchise has endured since its last championship, which came in 1918, it's no wonder more than 3 million citizens of Red Sox Nation filled the streets of Boston for the victory parade.
On the field, the 100th World Series was a showcase for Red Sox pitching. After a Game 1 slugfest, Games 2, 3, and 4 belonged to Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, and Derek Lowe. The trio combined to throw 20 innings without allowing an earned run. Keith Foulke closed out all four games and Manny Ramirez was named MVP. Yes, it's true; the 2004 Boston Red Sox are World Champions. "Someone said this is the biggest thing to happen in New England since the Revolution," owner John Henry told reporters. "I don't know about that but I know there's an overwhelming sense of joy and relief."
