One of the major stories in the docuseries will be the team's historic comeback against the New York Yankees in the ALCS. The Yankees, who were also in the championship series, took the lead with the score at 3-0. At that time, the score seemed like one that could be too much for Boston to overcome. However, a historic comeback was made soon; this comeback led to a win in the series 4-3 in Game 7.

Even today, the 2004 Boston Red Sox continues to be one of the only teams in MLB history to overcome a three-game deficit to win a championship series.

Boston advanced to the World Series, and it finally defeated the St. Louis Cardinals to win the title.
