La Serie Mundial 2007 fue la serie de campeonato de la temporada 2007 de la Major League Baseball (MLB) . La 103ª edición de la Serie Mundial, ^[2] fue un playoff al mejor de siete entre el campeón de la Liga Nacional (NL) Colorado Rockies y el campeón de la Liga Americana (AL) Boston Red Sox.; los Medias Rojas barrieron a los Rockies en cuatro juegos. Fue la primera aparición de los Rockies en una Serie Mundial. La victoria de los Medias Rojas fue su segundo campeonato de Serie Mundial en cuatro temporadas y su séptimo en general; también marcó la tercera barrida en cuatro años por los campeones de la Liga Americana. La serie comenzó el miércoles 24 de octubre y finalizó el domingo 28 de octubre.

Terry Francona se convirtió en el segundo mánager de los Medias Rojas en ganar dos títulos de Serie Mundial, después de Bill Carrigan , quien ganó las Series Mundiales de 1915 y 1916 . Incluyendo los últimos tres juegos de la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana , los Medias Rojas superaron a su oposición 59-15 en sus últimos siete juegos. Francona también se convirtió en el primer entrenador en ganar sus primeros 8 juegos de la Serie Mundial. Mientras tanto, los Rockies se convirtieron en el primer equipo de la Liga Nacional en ser barrido en una Serie Mundial después de arrasar en la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga , y solo el segundo equipo en sufrir tal destino, después de los Atléticos de Oakland en 1990.. Este destino lo volverían a sufrir los Tigres de Detroit de 2012, al ser barridos por los Gigantes de San Francisco en la Serie Mundial después de barrer a los Yankees de Nueva York en la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana.

Los Rockies ingresaron a la Serie después de haber ganado 21 de sus últimos 22 juegos, desde el final de la temporada regular, incluyendo barridos de los Filis de Filadelfia en la NLDS y los Diamondbacks de Arizona en la NLCS . También vencieron a los Padres de San Diego en el desempate de comodines de la Liga Nacional . Los Medias Rojas barrieron a los Angelinos de Los Ángeles de Anaheim en el ALDS y derrotaron a los Indios de Cleveland en el ALCSdespués de ir detrás de tres juegos a uno, llevándose los últimos tres concursos por una puntuación combinada de 30–5. Ninguno de los equipos participantes estuvo en la postemporada del año anterior. El descanso de ocho días de los Rockies fue el más largo en la historia de la postemporada de la MLB, causado por su barrida en la NLCS, la ALCS con siete partidos y la programación de MLB.

Según el Acuerdo de Negociación Colectiva de 2006, ^[3] los Medias Rojas tenían ventaja de local en la Serie Mundial luego de la victoria por 5-4 de la Liga Americana en el Juego de Estrellas de 2007 . Los dos primeros juegos se llevaron a cabo en Boston, con los juegos 3 y 4 en Denver.

Resumen

Boston ganó la serie, 4-0.

WP : Josh Beckett (1-0)   LP : Jeff Francis (0-1) Jonrones : COL: Ninguno BOS: Dustin Pedroia (1) Asistencia: 36.733 Numeritos

Los Medias Rojas lograron una gran victoria en el Juego 1 detrás del Jugador Más Valioso de la ALCS Josh Beckett , quien ponchó a nueve bateadores, incluidos los primeros cuatro que enfrentó, en siete entradas en camino a su cuarta victoria de la postemporada 2007. Mike Timlin y Éric Gagné lanzaron un perfecto octavo y noveno, respectivamente.

El miembro del Salón de la Fama de Boston, Carl Yastrzemski, lanzó el primer lanzamiento ceremonial , ^[8] como lo había hecho antes del Juego 1 en 2004 . El novato Dustin Pedroia abrió la primera entrada de los Sox con un jonrón sobre el Green Monster en Fenway Park frente a Jeff Francis . El cuadrangular de Pedroia fue el segundo plomo-off de cuadrangulares para iniciar una serie de mundo (el único otro fue alcanzado por Baltimore 's Don Buford en 1969 ). Kevin Youkilis luego conectó un doble al jardín derecho, se movió a tercera con un roletazo de David Ortiz y anotó enSencillo de Manny Ramirez . Después de que Mike Lowell voló, Jason Varitek conectó un sencillo antes de que JD Drew doblara para anotar a Ramírez y poner el 3-0 en los Medias Rojas.

Los Rockies subieron al tablero en el segundo cuando Garrett Atkins dobló con un out de Beckett y anotó con el doble de Troy Tulowitzki un out más tarde, pero los Medias Rojas recuperaron esa carrera de Francis cuando Youkilis caminó con dos outs y anotó en El doble de Ortiz. En el cuarto, los Medias Rojas llenaron las bases con dos outs en un sencillo, doble y pasaporte intencional cuando Varitek dos carreras doble los puso arriba 6-1.

Pusieron el juego fuera de su alcance con siete carreras en el quinto. Julio Lugo conectó un sencillo de apertura ante el relevista Franklin Morales antes de que Jacoby Ellsbury hiciera un toque en un out forzado en segunda. Después de que Pedroia salió, un balk movió a Ellsbury a segunda antes de anotar con el doble de Youkilis. El doble de Ortiz y el sencillo de Ramírez anotaron una carrera cada uno. Los Medias Rojas cargaron las bases con un doble y caminaron antes de que el sencillo de Drew anotara otra carrera. Ryan Speier relevó a Morales y caminó a los tres bateadores que enfrentó para forzar tres carreras más de Boston. Matt Herges relevó a Speier y consiguió que Youkilis volara hacia la derecha para finalizar la entrada.

Aunque Herges y dos relevistas mantuvieron a Boston sin anotaciones durante el resto del juego, los Medias Rojas terminaron con 13 carreras, la mayor cantidad en un Juego 1 de la Serie Mundial, y empataron otro récord con nueve hits de extra base . Las últimas 11 carreras de los Medias Rojas llegaron con dos outs.

Juego 2

Jueves, 25 de octubre de 2007 8:00  pm (EDT) en Fenway Park en Boston, Massachusetts

WP : Curt Schilling (1–0)   LP : Ubaldo Jiménez (0–1)   Sv : Jonathan Papelbon (1) Asistencia: 36,730 Boxscore

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.^[9] 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

Saturday, October 27, 2007 6:00 pm (MDT) at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E

WP: Daisuke Matsuzaka (1–0)   LP: Josh Fogg (0–1)   Sv: Jonathan Papelbon (2) Home runs: BOS: None COL: Matt Holliday (1) Attendance: 49,983 Boxscore

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 until game five of 2017. 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 López 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

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.

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.

Ticket controversy

The countdown page seen by many people attempting to buy World Series tickets: when the countdown completed it would either load a page to select seats or just restart the countdown.

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.^[11] 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.^[12]

The Rockies organization said that they were the victims of a denial-of-service attack.^[13] The FBI started its own investigation into these claims.^[14] 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.^[15] 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.^[16]

Celebration

While the celebratory crowd at Kenmore Square was not as unruly as in 2004, cars were overturned and 37 arrests were made.^[17] 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 "Riverdance" while local punk band the Dropkick Murphys played their hit "I'm Shipping Up to Boston".

The Red Sox World Series win in 2007 continued the success of Boston-area teams in recent years.^[18] The Celtics won their 17th championship, their first championship since 1986, the last time the Red Sox lost in the World Series, 7+1⁄2 months later. Furthermore, the New England Patriots had victories in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016 and 2018, the Boston Bruins in 2011, and the Red Sox three years earlier in 2004 and six years later in 2013 and five years after that in 2018.

Broadcasting

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.
