Boston Red Sox - A ComeBack

Baseball - Initially when I started watching this game, it felt so stupid. I used to wonder how millions of americans watch this game so enthusiastically, until I started watching the series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Just to give a backgroud, Red Sox ( sox for short ) are one of the greatest baseball teams to hail from New England only to be challenged by the New York Yankees. Typically speaking these 2 teams are the best baseball teams in the US. Their rivalry is unmatched for. Red Sox were down 3-0 in a 7 game series. From that point they staged a 'comeback' to win the next 3 games and level the series. No other tema has staged such a comeback in the history of baseball. The yankees were simply shocked by this comeback. In the world of sports very rarely you get to see such comebacks. One such comeback was by Mohommed Ali against George Foreman, in which Ali was down till round 9 and then one powerful punch sends Foreman reeling on the ground. Supposedly it is the only match Ali has stood in the ring for 9 rounds. Well am just waiting to watch the 7th game and hoping that the Red Sox clinch the series.
