The Houston Astros nearly replicated the 2004 Boston Red Sox ALCS comeback.

In 2004, a Wild Card Boston Red Sox team went down 0-3 to the New York Yankees in the ALCS. This series went down as one of the greatest in the history of the game, with extra-inning walk-offs from David Ortiz and a stolen base from current Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts – it had it all.
