The 86 Red Soxs choke was really for only one game that would have won it all. You have to think the Yankee's choke was four straight chokes. Especially after embarassing lose the Red Sox suffered in game 3. The Red Sox should have won it all in 86 but, the Yankees really should have won in 2004. They had everything set up so perfectly for them and they blew that lead. If you would really see it the Yankees choke was the biggest I've ever seen.

C'mon people, do some research first. The pass ball by Buckner did not lose the WS for the Red Sox. That game was Game 6 and the Sox were actually leading the series against the Mets 3-2. That's like people who blame Steve Bartman for losing the NLCS for the Cubs even though their SS (I believe it was Alex Gonzales) made a horrible defensive play that would have gotten the Cubs out of the inning. That also took place in game 6 of a series that the Cubs were leading only to lose game 7.
What the Yankees did, being up 3-0 and leading in the 9th inning of game 4 with arguably the greatest closer of all time in Mariano Rivera on the bump, to lose 4 straight games in the dramatic fashion to their arch rival is quite possibly the greatest choke job of all time in any sport. EVER!!!
Professional baseball has been around for about 125 years and a comeback of that magnitude had NEVER happened before.
Being a fan of neither team as well as being old enough to remember both, the Yankees colapse and choke against the Sox completely outweighs Buckner's work as a human wicket.

Neither the Cubs blowing a 5 to 0 Lead in recreation 6 of the NLCS vs Florida Bartman continues to be too blame and the Cubs lose that recreation and the subsequent recreation and Florida wins the Pennant and Beat the Yankees contained in the international sequence . Yankees choked the subsequent twelve months larger then the red Sox ought to have ever finished going up 3 to 0 and lose 4 to three how ought to they lose a sequence like that, Yankees have not received considering 2000 properly the Cubs have not received considering 1908 so who has to whinge red Sox and Yankees do not and could no longer

It doesn't matter how manny rings you have. If you choke you choke. Name me five players that are famous and played thier whole career for the Yankees. They buy their wins. I don't lke Boston but I hate the Yanks. In '86 the Sox were up 3 games to 2. One mistake costed them one game. The next games mistake was the whole team. 2 games in instead of 4!!!!!!!!!!. They made 4 mistakes that cost them 4 games. So don't give me that we have 26 rings bullshit.

The 86 Sox choked more. 2004 was a fluke

Yes because it lost the World Series. But the Yankees did do a supreme choke job in 04 and I loved it!

No, but when you have 26 rings, you've earned the right to choke here and there, when you haven't won in 86 years, it's choking everytime you do it.

It was both equal chokes think of it as a permonition of the future .But 2004 was the worst it was reverse in a sense of deja vu.

Losing four straight in the ALCS or losing the World Series because your first baseman couldn't field a basic ground ball. Tough call... I'd say it's a draw...
