 Terry Francona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Red Sox hired Francona to manage their club in 2004, after his predecessor, Grady Little, was let go as a result of the perception that he mismanaged the team in the 2003 American League Championship Series, won by the New York Yankees in seven games.
Francona appeared mainly as an outfielder that first year, and he went 4-for-12 in the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, an extra playoff round utilized that year because the season was conducted in two halves as the result of the strike.
Francona led the Red Sox to a 98-64 record in 2004, the second-best record in the American League behind the division-rival Yankees.

 Playoff format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the only point in the Euroleague where a playoff series is used; all earlier rounds are conducted in a league format, and the quarterfinal winners advance to the Final Four, where all games are one-off knockout matches.
The first use of the best-of-three playoff was in baseball; the National League authorized such a playoff to be held if two teams ended the season in a tie for first place; the American League used a single game in this situation.
In 2004, NASCAR adopted a total points playoff of a different stripe, creating a "Chase for the Cup" that allowed a golf-style cut of the high ten or 400 points of the leader, whichever is greater, to compete for the championship in the last ten races.
