103rd edition of Major League Baseball's championship series
The
2007 World Series
was the
championship series
of
Major League Baseball
's (MLB)
2007 season
. The 103rd edition of the World Series,
[2]
it was a
best-of-seven playoff
between the
National League
(NL) champion
Colorado Rockies
and the
American League
(AL) champion
Boston Red Sox
; the Red Sox swept the Rockies in four games. It was the Rockies' only appearance in a World Series. The Red Sox's victory was their second World Series championship in four seasons and their seventh overall; it also marked the third sweep in four years by the AL champions. The series began on Wednesday, October 24 and ended on Sunday, October 28.
Terry Francona
became the second Red Sox manager to win two World Series titles, following
Bill Carrigan
, who won the
1915
and
1916 World Series
. Including the last three games of the
AL Championship Series
, the Red Sox outscored their opposition 59?15 over their final seven games. Francona also became the first manager to win his first 8 World Series games. The Rockies, meanwhile, became the first NL team to get swept in a World Series after sweeping the
League Championship Series
, and just the second team ever to suffer such a fate, following the
Oakland Athletics in 1990
. This fate would again be suffered by the 2012 Detroit Tigers, being swept by the San Francisco Giants in the
World Series
after sweeping the New York Yankees in the ALCS. As of 2023, this remains the most recent time an American League team has swept a National League team in the World Series.
Background
[
edit
]
This was the fourth time since the beginning of
interleague play
in 1997 that a World Series matchup would be a rematch from the regular season. The Rockies beat the Red Sox 2-1 in a three game series at Fenway Park from June 12?14.
The Rockies entered the Series having won 21 of their last 22 games, going back to the end of the regular season, including sweeps of the
Philadelphia Phillies
in the
NLDS
and the division rival
Arizona Diamondbacks
in the
NLCS
. They also beat the
San Diego Padres
in the
NL Wild Card tie-breaker
. The Red Sox swept the
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
in the
ALDS
and defeated the
Cleveland Indians
in the
ALCS
after trailing three games to one, taking the final three contests by a combined score of 30?5. Neither participating team was in the previous year's postseason. The Rockies' eight-day layoff was the longest in MLB postseason history, caused by their sweep in the NLCS, the ALCS going seven games, and scheduling by MLB.
Per the 2006 Collective Bargaining Agreement,
[3]
the Red Sox had
home-field advantage
in the World Series following the American League's 5?4 win in the
2007 All-Star Game
. The first two games took place in Boston, with games 3 and 4 in Denver.
Ticket controversy
[
edit
]
On October 17, 2007, a week before the first game of the World Series, the Colorado Rockies announced that tickets would be made available to the general public via online sales only, despite prior arrangements to sell the tickets at local retail outlets.
[4]
Five days later, California-based ticket vendor Paciolan, Inc., the sole contractor authorized by the Colorado Rockies to distribute tickets, was forced to suspend sales after less than an hour due to an exorbitant number of purchase attempts.
[5]
The Rockies organization said that they were the victims of a
denial-of-service attack
.
[6]
The
FBI
started its own investigation into these claims.
[7]
Ticket sales resumed the next day, with all three home games selling out within
2
+
1
⁄
2
hours.
The Red Sox also relied primarily on online sales to sell the game tickets, although some Fenway Park tickets were sold on the phone and at the box office. The Sox held a random drawing for the right to buy post season tickets on October 15, and winners bought tickets at a private online sale. Street prices were lower in Boston this time than in 2004: the average price, according to
StubHub
, was about $1500 in 2007, down about $300 from three years previously.
[8]
Some Sox fans found that it was cheaper to travel to Denver to see World Series games than to pay the street price for Boston game tickets.

Boston won the series, 4?0.

Matchups
[

Game 1
[
edit
]
The Red Sox cruised to a blowout win in Game 1 behind
ALCS
MVP
Josh Beckett
, who struck out nine batters, including the first four he faced, over seven innings en route to his fourth win of the 2007 postseason.
Mike Timlin
and
Eric Gagne
pitched a perfect eighth and ninth, respectively.
Boston
Hall of Famer
Carl Yastrzemski
threw the
ceremonial first pitch
,
[14]
as he had done before Game 1 in
2004
. Rookie
Dustin Pedroia
led off the Sox' first inning with a
home run
over the
Green Monster
in Fenway Park off of
Jeff Francis
. Pedroia's homer was only the second lead-off home run to start a World Series (the only other one was hit by
Baltimore
's
Don Buford
in
1969
).
Kevin Youkilis
then doubled to right, moved to third on
David Ortiz
's groundout, and scored on
Manny Ramirez
's single. After
Mike Lowell
flew out,
Jason Varitek
singled before
J. D. Drew
doubled to score Ramirez and make it 3-0 Red Sox.
The Rockies got on the board in the second when
Garrett Atkins
doubled with one out off Beckett and scored on
Troy Tulowitzki
's double one out later, but the Red Sox got that run back off of Francis when Youkilis walked with two outs and scored on Ortiz's double. In the fourth, the Red Sox loaded the bases with two outs on a single, double, and intentional walk when Varitek's two-run double put them up 6?1.
They put the game out of reach with seven runs in the fifth.
Julio Lugo
hit a leadoff single off of reliever
Franklin Morales
before
Jacoby Ellsbury
bunted into a forceout at second. After Pedroia popped out, a balk moved Ellsbury to second before he scored on Youkilis's double. Ortiz's double and Ramirez's single scored a run each. The Red Sox loaded the bases on a double and walk before Drew's single scored another run.
Ryan Speier
relieved Morales and walked all three batters he faced to force in three more Boston runs.
Matt Herges
relieved Speier and got Youkilis to fly out to right to end the inning.
Though Herges and two relievers held Boston scoreless for the rest of the game, the Red Sox finished with 13 runs, the most ever in a World Series Game 1, and tied another record with nine
extra base hits
. The last 11 of the Red Sox runs came with two outs.
Game 2
[
edit
]
The
ceremonial first pitch
was thrown by Andrew Madden, a 13-year-old
heart transplant
recipient, accompanied by
Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame
member
Dwight Evans
.
[15]
After the debacle of Game 1, Colorado appeared to return to form, scoring quickly on a groundout by
Todd Helton
with runners on second and third in the first. However, this would be the only time the Rockies ever led in the series as postseason veteran
Curt Schilling
(
5
+
1
⁄
3
IP, one run, four hits) and Boston's bullpen (
Okajima
,
2
+
1
⁄
3
IP;
Papelbon
,
1
+
1
⁄
3
IP) allowed no other runs in the contest. The Red Sox tied the game in the fourth off of Ubaldo Jimenez on
Jason Varitek
's sacrifice fly with runners on second and third, then took the lead next inning on
Mike Lowell
's RBI double with runners on first and second.
Matt Holliday
had four of Colorado's five hits in Game 2, including a base hit off Papelbon with two outs in the eighth. Before throwing another pitch, Papelbon caught Holliday leaning too far off first base and picked him off?Papelbon's first career
pickoff
.
Game 3
[
edit
]
This was the first World Series game ever played in Colorado. At 4 hours 19 minutes, it became the longest nine-inning game in World Series history. Game 3 was also the 600th World Series game ever played. Starting pitcher
Daisuke Matsuzaka
pitched five innings of scoreless ball and left in the sixth with no runs allowed. The Red Sox struck first with a six-run third inning. Rookie
Jacoby Ellsbury
hit a leadoff double, moved to third on
Dustin Pedroia
's single, and scored on
David Ortiz
's double. After
Manny Ramirez
was intentionally walked,
Mike Lowell
's single scored two more runs.
J. D. Drew
popped out before Ramirez was thrown out at home on
Jason Varitek
's single with Lowell advancing to third. After
Julio Lugo
walked to load the bases, Matsuzaka hit a two-run single for his first base hit and RBI in the
Major Leagues
. Ellsbury capped the scoring with his second double of the inning to knock Colorado starter
Josh Fogg
out of the game. The Rockies' bats came to life in the sixth and seventh innings against a normally-solid but now-shaky Boston bullpen. After Matsuzaka walked two straight in the sixth with one out, reliever
Javier Lopez
allowed back-to-back RBI singles to
Brad Hawpe
and
Yorvit Torrealba
.
Mike Timlin
allowed two straight leadoff singles in the seventh before
NLCS
MVP
Matt Holliday
brought the Rockies to within one run with a three-run home run off
Hideki Okajima
.
Brian Fuentes
gave back those runs in the eighth by walking Lugo with one out and allowing a subsequent single to
Coco Crisp
before Ellsbury and
Dustin Pedroia
, who had four and three hits, respectively, on the night (the first time in World Series history two rookies had at least three hits in a game) hit back-to-back RBI doubles, raising Boston's lead to 9?5. Jonathan Papelbon came on for a four-out save, getting Holliday to fly out on one pitch, leaving runners on first and second. Jason Varitek would tack on Boston's tenth run in the top of the ninth off of
LaTroy Hawkins
with a sacrifice fly, scoring Mike Lowell who, not generally considered a stolen base threat, had just stolen third base?the first time a Red Sox baserunner stole third base in the World Series since 1975?after hitting a leadoff single and moving to second on a sacrifice bunt. Papelbon came back out in the bottom of the ninth to complete the save, getting the first two outs before surrendering a two-out triple to
Brad Hawpe
, then finishing the game with a groundout from
Yorvit Torrealba
. The Red Sox took Game 3 by a final score of 10?5.
The Red Sox continued to set World Series records during Game 3:
- Ellsbury (four hits) and Pedroia (three) combined to score three runs and drive in four, while being the first rookies to bat 1?2 in a World Series lineup.
- Ellsbury became the third rookie in Series history with four hits in a game, joining
Freddie Lindstrom
of the
New York Giants
(Game 5, 1924) and
Joe Garagiola
of the Cardinals (Game 4, 1946).
- Matsuzaka became the first Japanese pitcher to start and win a World Series game. The only pitchers in Red Sox history, other than Matsuzaka, to have two RBI and be the winning pitcher were
Babe Ruth
in
1918
and
Cy Young
in
1903
.
- The Red Sox' 16 doubles tied a World Series record, set by the
1982
Champion Cardinals. The Red Sox would break the record in Game 4, finishing with 18.
Game 4
[
edit
]
The Red Sox struck early. Rookie
Jacoby Ellsbury
began the first
inning
with a double and was advanced by
Dustin Pedroia
with a groundout, followed by an RBI single from
David Ortiz
. In the seventh inning,
series MVP
Mike Lowell
hit a home run to give Boston a 3?0 lead and knock starter
Aaron Cook
out of the game. Lowell also hit a leadoff double in the fifth and scored on
Jason Varitek
's single. The Colorado offense answered when left fielder
Brad Hawpe
hit a home run off of a
Manny Delcarmen
fastball, bringing the Rockies within two. Relief pitcher
Brian Fuentes
gave back that run abruptly, allowing Boston pinch-hitter
Bobby Kielty
to hit a ball into the left field stands on the first pitch of the inning, extending the Red Sox lead to 4?1. In the bottom of the inning Boston pitcher
Hideki Okajima
allowed a one-out single to
Todd Helton
followed by a
Garrett Atkins
two-run
home run
, bringing the Rockies within one.
Jonathan Papelbon
relieved Okajima and earned his third save of the series. At 12:06 a.m.
EDT
on Monday, October 29, Papelbon struck out Colorado
pinch hitter
Seth Smith
for the final out of the 2007 season. Boston had won its second World Series title in four years and seventh all-time.
There was controversy in the top of the eighth when Fox's broadcast announced that
Alex Rodriguez
would be opting out of his contract with the Yankees to become a free agent.
[16]
Commissioner
Bud Selig
made it clear during the World Series that an embargo had been placed on all Major League Baseball stories until the sport's top event had come to an end. Rodriguez and his agent
Scott Boras
would later apologize for the incident.
[17]
The Rockies became the third team in Series history (the
1937 Yankees
and
1966 Orioles
were the others) not to commit an error in a World Series of any length. They were the first team to do so while losing the World Series.

Celebration
[

While the celebratory crowd at
Kenmore Square
was not as unruly as in
2004
, cars were overturned and 37 arrests were made.
[70]
The Red Sox victory parade, yet again in
duck boats
and called a "Rolling Rally" as in 2004, was on October 30, 2007 with closer
Jonathan Papelbon
doing his infamous "
Irish Jig
" while local punk band the
Dropkick Murphys
played their hit "
I'm Shipping Up to Boston
".
[71]
The Red Sox World Series win in 2007 continued the success of Boston-area teams in recent years.

Broadcasting
[
edit
]
The World Series was televised by
Fox
in the United States, with
Joe Buck
and
Tim McCarver
as booth announcers. The starting time for each television broadcast was 8:00 pm EDT (6:00 pm MDT). The series broke with the recent tradition of starting the World Series on a Saturday, as Major League Baseball had become convinced that weekend games drew lower television ratings. Prior to this season, every World Series since
1985
had opened on a Saturday, with the exception of the
1990 World Series
. This was the first World Series to start on a Wednesday since
1968
.
Rogers Sportsnet (RSN)
in Canada used the MLB International feed with
Dave O'Brien
and
Rick Sutcliffe
as booth announcers.
NASN
showed the games live to most of Europe, while in the UK, all games were shown
terrestrially
on
Five
.
NHK
aired the Series in Japan.
On radio, the Series was broadcast nationally by
ESPN Radio
, with
Jon Miller
and
Joe Morgan
announcing. Locally,
Joe Castiglione
and
Glenn Geffner
called the Series for the Red Sox on
WRKO
in Boston, while
Jack Corrigan
and Jeff Kingery called it for the Rockies on
KOA
in Denver. Per contractual obligation, the non-flagship stations on the teams' radio networks carried the ESPN Radio broadcasts.
Aftermath
[
edit
]
Red Sox
[
edit
]
As previously mentioned, the Red Sox won two more World Series titles in 2013 and 2018. Both of those titles were managed by two members of the 2007 club. Pitching coach
John Farrell
served as the skipper of the
2013 Red Sox
, featuring 2007 holdovers
Clay Buchholz
(DNP),
Jacoby Ellsbury
,
Jon Lester
,
David Ortiz
, and
Dustin Pedroia
. The
2018 Red Sox
was managed by
Alex Cora
, an infielder on the 2007 team.
The Red Sox finished as a wild-card team in the
2008 season
, winning 95 games. They were defeated in the
ALCS
by the
Tampa Bay Rays
in seven games. The Red Sox again qualified as a 95-win wild-card team in
2009
, but lost 3?0 to the
Los Angeles Angels
in the
ALDS
. In both
2010
and
2011
, the Red Sox missed the postseason despite winning 89 and 90 games, respectively. The 2011 season saw the Red Sox hold a nine-game lead in the wild card heading to September, only to lose 13 of their final 20 games to miss the playoffs. This led to the dismissal of skipper
Terry Francona
.
Rockies
[
edit
]
After making the World Series in 2007, the Rockies proceeded to appear in the playoffs only three times in the next 15 seasons. In
2009
, the Rockies won a wild-card berth after winning 92 games, but
in a rematch of the 2007 NLDS
, the Rockies lost in four games to the
Philadelphia Phillies
. During that season, the Rockies fired Clint Hurdle and replaced him with
Jim Tracy
. The Rockies never finished higher than third place in the NL West between
2010
and
2017
, though in the latter season, they returned to postseason play as a second wild-card team. There, the Rockies lost in the
Wild Card Game
to the
Arizona Diamondbacks
.
The following season
, the Rockies made consecutive postseason appearances for the first time in team history, winning the
Wild Card Game
against the
Chicago Cubs
, but losing in the
NLDS
to the
Milwaukee Brewers
3?0.
After managing the Rockies, Hurdle was hired by the
Pittsburgh Pirates
in
2011
, and in
2013
, ended a major North American professional sports record 20-year drought without a winning season. The Pirates proceeded to make the postseason three consecutive years under Hurdle, winning the
2013 National League Wild Card Game
during that span.
Three members of the 2007 Rockies went on to win a World Series ring with other teams. Outfielder
Matt Holliday
won in
2011
with the
St. Louis Cardinals
, pitcher
Jeremy Affeldt
won in
2010
,
2012
and
2014
with the
San Francisco Giants
, and pitcher
Franklin Morales
won in 2013 with the Red Sox, and in
2015
with the
Kansas City Royals
.
