    What is the greatest 'choke' in sports history?

    In my opinion, the greatest 'choke' in sports history has to be the 2004 New York Yankees blowing a 3-0 lead in the American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox. This collapse was monumental as no team in MLB history had ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. The Yankees, with their storied history and high expectations, crumbled under the pressure and allowed the Red Sox to make an incredible comeback. This event was not only shocking for baseball fans, but also for the sports world in general, as it demonstrated that even the most dominant teams can fall apart in high-pressure situations. To this day, the 2004 ALCS remains a topic of discussion and a symbol of the unpredictable nature of sports.
