What is the greatest comeback?

Question

Which one of these is the greatest comeback?It's the record for largets comeback down in a game and in a series.

Cleveland Indians 15,Seattle Mariners 14.Indians trail 14-2 going into the 7th inning and are down 5 runs with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the 9th 3 times and go on the win in 11 innings.

Red Sox beat the Yankees in the ALCS 4-3.The Red Sox were down to their final 3 outs in the 4th game trying to avoid a sweep and went on the win the series in 7.

Yes I do know about that game from last year when the Tribe was down.But the 2 reasons I did not include it was because they were down by less and it was the Royals.The Indians in 2001 came back when they were down 12 in the 7th against the single season record holding Seattle Mariners.If the Mariners had hel on they would have broken the all time record for most wins in a season.Go Tribe!

Answer 1

I agree with you. The Tribe's comeback back in '01 was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in sports. Yes the Red Sox were impressive and yes it was the playoffs; however, the Tribe's comeback against the record setting Mariners was even more impressive. Also, the Dodgers game last year was pretty amazing too, but nothing can compare to that Indians comeback (except when the Tribe beat the Yankees 22-0, but that wasn't a comeback; that was just sweet).

Answer 2

#1. Red Sox beat the Yankees in the ALCS 4-3.The Red Sox were down to their final 3 outs in the 4th game trying to avoid a sweep and went on the win the series in 7.

#2 1986 World Series the Mets vs Boston game 6. The Mets were one strike away from losing the series.

Answer 3

I being yet another avid Tribe Fan, agree with that 2001 miracle. And yes, another impressive win was by the Red Sox in 2004. When down by 3 games in the ALCS, the Sox came back to stun the Yankees by winning 4 in a row and eventually the World Series.

Let me hit you up with some history. 2006 Season, Tribe comes back in the ninth, down by 9, score 11 runs to beat the Royals.

Hope to see you April 6, fellow Tribesman, home opener.

Answer 4

It's not the greatest, but it was one of the most recent major comebacks for the Cardinals. It was a couple years ago in Cincinnati when the Reds hosted the Cards. The Reds had a commanding lead going into the top of the 9th, and Danny Graves made what I remember as his last appearance as a Reds pitcher.

The Cardinals scored something like 7 or 9 runs in the top of the 9th and shut down the Reds in the bottom half. I think there was a John Mabry home run in the 9th that killed the Reds. It was a positive turn for the Cardinals that season. My brother used to have it TiVo'ed.

Answer 7

"On April 24, 1901, the Tigers prepared to take to the field for their first official American League game. A standing room only crowd was anticipated at Bennett Park, but unpredictable weather postponed the opening by a day.
On that historic afternoon, April 25, 1901, in front of 10,000 fans, the Tigers entered the ninth inning trailing Milwaukee, 13-4. A series of hits and miscues followed, moving the score to 13-12 with two runners on. With two out, Tiger Frank "Pop" Dillon faced reliever Bert Husting, and the lefthanded hitter rapped a two-run double to complete a 14-13 comeback win."
