Answer: 4-2 Red Sox

The Red Sox managed to win this game in nine innings, despite two controversial calls which, if they had gone the other way, could have spelled doom for Boston.

Answer: Mark Bellhorn

Bellhorn, who had been in a lengthy batting slump, blasted the ball to the left field wall, where it hit a fan wearing a dark sweater and bounced back onto the field. Yankees left fielder Hideki Matsui paused for a moment - he knew it was a home run. The umpires got together and made the right call.

Answer: Curt Schilling

Schilling, whose poor Game 1 start turned out to be caused by a loose tendon in his ankle, had doctors suture the tendon out of place to stop it from snapping, so he could pitch in Game 6. With the Boston red blood showing through his sock, Schilling pitched an amazing 7 innings, allowing just one run on a Bernie Williams solo shot.

His performance will go down as one of the greatest in playoff history.

Answer: True

The Red Sox, after clawing their way back into the series from a 3-0 deficit, pounded the Yankees in Game 7 by a score of 10-3.

Derek Lowe pitched the victory for Boston, who defeated the Yankees for the first time in the playoffs.

Answer: David Ortiz

Ortiz, who came up huge for the Red Sox when it mattered in games 4 and 5, won the ALCS MVP award. Ortiz also hit a 2-run homer to get the ball rolling for Boston in Game 7.
