Greatest comeback in baseball history?

We all know that the 2004 Red Sox were the best series comeback in baseball history. But what about in a game? My greatest would have to be the four homeruns in a row by the dodgers last year (2006). Kent, J.d Drew, Martin, and Marlon Anderson with back-to-back-to-back-to-back hrs in bottom of nine.

heres a link to the video

whats your opinion?

I think the 1969 Mets came from a long way back to beat out the Cubs and win the national league pennant, and then the world series.

August 7, 1969: Two-and-a-half weeks after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, the Chicago Cubs were mooning over the NL East, holding a nine-game lead over the second-place Mets. At 71-41, they had the best record in the National league, although the Orioles were better in the AL. They won the league 98.0% of the time in the simulations, but objective computer simulations, by their very nature, know nothing about Miracles. The Mets got hot and the Cubs went cold, so much so after the Mets swept a doubleheader from the Expos on Sept. 10 they took over the division lead both in record (84-57 to 84-59) and in chances (51.6%-47.8%). The Mets stayed hot, finishing the year on a 41-15 run that left the Cubs eight games behind at season's end. As the Braves and Orioles were to find out, the Mets' hot streak didn't end with the regular season.

when the Snazzers beat the Moundies at Big Rock stadium...that was great

Red Sox down 3-0 to the Yankees in the ALCS in 2004 hands down!!!

I've seen so many games in my life over the past 30 years that your question is impossible for me to answer. Plenty of regular season games with dramatic comebacks I can think of, but not as many in the playoffs. I would put Joe Carter's home run in '92 up there, but Kirk Gibson's '88 home run was even more dramatic and Dodgers won that game on his walk off home run. The 2004 Red Sox series comeback was amazing and deserves credit for your question, even though you are looking for individual game comebacks...

that was pretty amazing

I say 2005 cardinals in the nlcs against the astros when pujols [El hombre] hit a homer.

Individual game comebacks, eh? Well in 2006 the Yankees erased a 10-1 Rangers deficit and, 4 innings later, took a 12-11 lead, and they held on, 14-13.

(sighs and bangs head on desk) And the Rockies go unnoticed AGAIN! This is what they get for being in Colorado......no one except the TRUE Rockis fans notice them.......
I say it was the Rockies on Monday night! Forget the Red Sox! Rockies all the way baby!!!

Jim Bouton was handed a manila envelope with some World Series tickets by the Yankees' Vice President. He was sitting in a limo with Yogi Berra. The Veep said to Bouton, "You're lucky. That was the last we had."

Berra's comeback: "Wow. They're out of them envelopes already?"

2004 Red Sox over Yankees I don't care what you say.WoW.
