If you tuned into any sports talk show on Tuesday, you probably heard that no team in Major League Baseball history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the World Series, which is what the New York Yankees are attempting to do in Game 4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

While the feat has never happened in the World Series, it has happened before in the ALCS, a fact that Yankees fans are all too familiar with.

The Boston Red Sox came back from a 3-0 deficit against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS and went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals to secure their first World Series title in 86 years.

The 2004 ALCS comeback is one the most notable parts of the storied Yankees-Red Sox rivalry not to mention one of the most notable playoff series in baseball history. It was such an important series that Netflix made a docuseries about it. The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox premiered last week.

Down 0-3, Netflix capitalized on the Yankees situation and plugged their docuseries with a social media post reminding New York fans that it isn’t over until it’s over.

“Don’t worry @Yankees, it IS possible,” wrote Netflix on X.

On one hand, it stings to remind Yankees fans of this considering they were on the receiving end of the 2004 ALCS comeback. But perhaps it does inspire a bit of hope that on the 20th anniversary of that collapse, they could do the same thing to the Dodgers.

Either way, it was a pretty effective way to get some attention on the docuseries.
