This may be a stupid question but, which was the most shocking outcome?
Pistons beat Lakers 4 games to 1 in NBA Finals
Red Sox beat the Yankees after coming within 3 outs of being swept in ALCS

Sox and Yankees series. To be honest, the lineup for the Lakers and pistons is pretty even.

Not a stupid question!
Even though the Laker/Piston final was a shock, being down 3 and 0 and to come back and beat the Yanks is an incredible thing.
Remember it had never been done.

The Red Sox beating the Yankees by as far as it can go.
Baseball has had a postseason for over a century. That's 99 World Series* and 38 best-of-seven League Championship Series. And the fact that the Red Sox had been crushed 19-8 in Game 3 and it was the Yankees that had the Series lead made it extremely amazing.
I hope this will teach George Steinbrenner a lesson: No matter how hard you try, you cannot buy World Championships. But I don't think this will stop him from going after Carlos Beltran.
* Excludes 1904 and 1994 (no postseason) and the upcoming 2004 World Series

Sox and Yanks, no doubt about it.

There is no comparison between the two because boston was down 0-3. The Yanks/Sox series is in it's own category.
