The Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 10-3 on October 21, 2004, to win the American League Championship Series and progress to their first World Series since 1986. The Red Sox became the only team in history to win a best-of-seven series despite falling down in the opening three games. In addition to winning the AL Championship Series over the Angels, 4-1, they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 in the seven-game World Series. This is the most recent championship for the Red Sox; they won titles in 1919, 1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, and 1934. The Red Sox were declared the winners of the Series after the Yankees lost both of their games at Fenway Park. This ended what was then the longest postseason drought in American sports history - the Red Sox had not won a title since 1924 - and also ended New York's streak of being the last team standing from the 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, and 1935 World Series competitions. During this time period the Red Sox played in Fenway Park, which was built in 1912. The park was destroyed by fire on April 18, 2003, but it was rebuilt in time for Opening Day 2004. The Red Sox finished with a record of 108-54 during that season; they were coming off a world championship season two years earlier.
