Ben tells Jack that the Boston Red Sox won the league championship against the New York Yankees by coming back from a three-game deficit and winning eight straight games, however as a best of seven series this is mathematically impossible.
Not a goof: what Ben actually says is that the Red Sox won eight straight to win the World Series, which is exactly what happened when they came from 3-0 down to beat the Yankees and then swept the Cardinals in the World Series.
