Netflix has released the trailer for the baseball documentary series The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox. The doc chronicles one of the greatest comebacks in sports history when the Boston Red Sox overcame a 3-0 series deficit to defeat their archrivals the New York Yankees en route to winning their first World Series title in 86 years and breaking the infamous “Curse of the Bambino”.
This is a three-part series that “celebrates the 20th anniversary of the team’s groundbreaking postseason run with new, exclusive interviews featuring key players and figures including: Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, Kevin Millar, Terry Francona, and Theo Epstein, among many others.”
The movie was directed by Colin Barnicle, who said in a statement: “This series is not just about the 2004 ALCS. That’s the ending. As fans, we know what happened. I want them to know how it happened – how an organization changed with new ownership, how the team was built from the front office and how the clubhouse came together.
“It’s not a straight line from 86 years of losing to champions. Sometimes, it’s funny. Sometimes, it’s heart wrenching. There were considerable bumps along the way. But how those trials and tribulations defined the decision making and the chemistry of the team is how they were able to come back from three games down in the ALCS. It didn’t start with Game Four of the ALCS.” –
The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox will be released on Netflix on October 23rd, 2024.
