#33 - Kevin Millar - Boston Red Sox Cult Hero and Four Days in October We Will Never Forget

May 19, 2020

When Kevin Millar predicted the Boston Red Sox would come back from a 3-0 deficit in the 2004 ALCS to beat the powerhouse Yankees in “Four Days in October” it sparked perhaps the greatest comeback in sports history.  Kevin Millar is one of the most inspirational sports stories of our generation and played a pivotal role for the Boston Red Sox first world championship since 1918, ending the infamous curse of the Bambino.

 

For the past nine years Kevin has been the co-host of Intentional Talk on the MLB Network with Chris Rose @crose127.  Kevin’s story is a lesson in mental toughness, grit and an against all odds mindset.  His pure passion and love of the game propelled him to overcome insurmountable odds and impossible obstacles on his way to a storied 12 year big league Baseball career highlighted by a World Series championship with the Boston Red Sox in 2004 and 170 career home runs.

 

This is a special episode for me as Kevin is one of my lifelong friends since childhood and we have experienced many triumphs and excruciating heartbreaks on and off the field together.  We were teammates and close friends since elementary school and remain very close to this day.  Ultimately, Kevin became an inspirational symbol of anything’s possible in life, and when my big league dreams ended after college, Kevin graciously invited me to live vicariously through him for over a decade.   I’m forever grateful to Kevin for taking me along for the ride and proving to us all that no dream is too big and no goal is out of reach.  To get a taste of what Kevin’s about watch the ESPN 30 for 30 series “Four Days in October” about the Red Sox historic comeback against the Yankees.  Cowboy up!
