As a Yankee fan in NY, I'm glad the Sox still play at Fenway Park. The place has history and character and charm, something lost in all these new stadiums.
There were no playoffs back then. Win the most games in the regular season and your team wins the League Pennant and a trip to the World Series.
As an 11 year old growing up on the North shore, that 67' season was absolute magic and a Bosox fan for life was born.
Yes sir
Yaz is the Cornerstone of Red Sox Nation.
Future Red Sox championships were built upon His Grit.
I absolutely love how they all sat around the clubhouse and listened to the Tigers game on the radio.
I wonder how they did that back in 1967?
I was a 12 year old baseball junkie living in Rockland in 67. What an amazing season!
Even if we didnt win the world series still what a run
The Boomer and Yaz and Conigliaro were my favorite players
I was a SF Gs fan from the cradle, but this was this year I started liking the Red Sox. Starting in 69, we lived in the SF Bay Area and I got to see them when they played the As.
THEE most exciting, roller-coaster pennant race ever! The Hawk added the crowning touch!
I was lucky enough to see Tony C.'s last homer in the Majors during his last comeback attempt in 1975. Being there gave me a glimpse of what a true star Tony would have been but for that devastating fastball he took. He may be the greatest tragedy in baseball.
I was a 12 yr old Little League player in Bangor Maine and I loved playing the game of baseball! But watching the game on T.V? Why bother? From what my dad told me that the RedSox we're perennial losers season after season and hadn't had a winning team since Ted Williams one of the greatest hitters ever in MLB. But after finishing my last year of Little League, which always ended, the regular season that is, and not being picked as an all-star my season was done before the 4th of July. Then I noticed dad and my Uncle Joe would drop by our house and they were always tuned in to a RedSox game. I asked dad how were the Sox doing this year? He said surprisingly decent this year playing over .500 ball. Yaz became my hero and the rest was history!!! Tim Dionne
This was awesome. I was 9 years old in 4th grade and I was pulling for the Red Sox that year. Tony Conigliaro was my favorite player. Amazing season and I still remember it well. Great to see this piece; I don’t hear the ‘67 Red Sox talked about too much anymore, but they should be.
I was age 18,and heading off to UMass-Boston. We got to watch the World Series on a TV set that was brought into the student lounge... which was PACKED to the rafters! Almost everyone was cutting a class here and there, and some classes were actually cancelled ( with a wink wink from the teacher!)
Thank you for this video. I was in college in Boston during 67 and this sure brought back memories. First half of the season you could walk in and get a ticket, this changed in the second half. I went to Logan with some college buddies when they returned from their 10-game winning streak, we actually got on the roof of the terminal to get a good view, probably couldn't do that today. With all the craziness going on in the 60s this was sure a bright spot.
I was a kid and my father took to the red sox game at Fenway that Jim Lomborg played and got a 10 minute standing ovation.
I was a teen in the 60's, playing for my high school team. Sox were so bad we would joke that we had a chance of beating them. From 1960-66 the Red Sox averaged finishing 29 games out of first place. They were pathetic and so was their ballpark. It was a dump. The Impossible dream was just that, an impossible dream that changed everything going forward.
I was 8 years old, growing up in Marblehead during the 1967 season. Fast forward a few years... How many of you were with (doing a day trip trip from Palo Alto, CA )to see the 4th game of the 2004 World Series in St. Louis?
I was 14, had just moved across town, getting ready for high school and all of a sudden the Red Sox were competitive and Yaz was ridiculous.
Great memories. Lots of young players to fall in love with.
Fenway Pawk, I love it.
Only if they didn't lose Tony C, well we'll never know. But what an amazing season!
GO SOX!!
NO,..TONY C would not have been the difference. Gibson was the man.
@@richbrake9910 You're probably right. Gibson was absolutely phenomenal. I still say he and Koufax are the greatest pitchers of all time. ⚾
@@richbrake9910 Yes he was 3 wins in the 1967 World Series
My father became a sox fan and listened to every game
I was a fan of the other Sox, they sure blew their shot at the 1967 World Series
I hate to let you know this, but my dad's law partner Hugh Killebrew, cousin of the Twins' Harmon Killebrew, who talked Lonborg into skiing Heavenly Valley after the 1967 season, owned by his wife's family, where he broke his leg and was never the same.
Life does what it does. I was hit and run by a car 7 yrs ago, and my life changed. But I'm alive still. Life does what it does. Appreciate every second of life!
I can remember watching on TV38. Conigliaro , Longborg, Yaz, Petrocelli Bleacher seats were .50cents. We’d cut school to go to a game. Back then guys stayed with the team their whole career practically. Good times. Imagine, Yaz made $37,000 a year his last year. Guys today make that every inning
Great season as a first year Tiger's fan of 9 years of age. I remember the back to back twin bills with the California Angels and the heartbreak when the Tiger's lost that last game. What a pennant race!
Boomer was a nice guy even after seasons. Saw him in a baseball car show few years ago - big smile and didn’t care about the money for him to sign my baseball card of him
to think that there was a time when the sox didnt draw and the owner wanted to move the team out of fenway is amazing
The "Impossible Dream" came up short, not 'til 37 years later.
Correction: Bob Gibson did NOT throw a 1-hit shutout in the 4th game of the World Series. He did pitch a shutout, but allowed 5 hits.
The first season I missed being stationed in Berlin. I got to listen to the last game where Gibson was so dominant.
Sweet Caroline!
I was 11 years old and remember that magical season. I had the Impossible Dream Year Album soundtrack narrated by Ken Coleman and still can recite the words. LOL...⚾ 🚩
Tony homered in his first at bat at Fenway. Not his first major league at bat.
I didn't go to school all that world series. Fortunately my teacher knew why.
Imagine that the Red Sox were thinking of leaving Boston 1967 ended all talk of that
Why didn’t they leave anyway?
They still didn’t win in the end
@@RB01.10 1967 season the fans started filling the place, they've been doing so ever since
More fans than the Yankees
Why was there no mention of Lee Stange? Jim Lonborg won the Cy Young, but, statistically, Stange, who tied Gary Bell for second-most starts for the Sox that year, was better, including the best ERA among Red Sox starters, and not by a little.
Whoa! I don't think I would've wanted the Stinger pitching that last game vs the Twins!
*Sigh*
Would’ve had more meaning if they would’ve actually won.
Had to wait another 37 years 😢
PLANET MIKE Trivia : can you name the 2 players from BOTH 67 and 75 RED SOX World Series ?
yaz is one
One guy beat the Sox.BOB GIBSON
The Detroit Tigers finally beat Bob Gibson the following year in game 7, though Gibson was the victim of non support from a team that stopped hitting after 1st inning of game 5.
3 times
Lou Brock.
So your saying that ST Louis is ONLY A pitching team ! It takes runs to win a game !
@@philwilson7816 That’s right baby
1966 crowds didn't have a Pandemic as an excuse..
The excuse was finishing in 9 th place
@@michaelleroy9281 duh
@@michaelleroy9281 9th place, one half game ahead of Yankees who finished last . Well, at least the Sox beat the Yankees in 1966.
I wonder when this was made since Dick Williams died in 2011.
2004 it was made
@@ericsigersmith2831 Thank you.
@@kevin62387 been a diehard sox fan since the rich Garces days lol
@@ericsigersmith2831 Made after they won in 2004?
Probably before that. Don’t quote me, but probably before.
Boston lost that World Series due to one man. Bob Gibson.
3 out of 7 DOESN'T EQUAL 4 ! YOU NEED A TEAM !
@@philwilson7816 lol
we will never see the likes of a gibson again
and no way could lonborg pitch effectively on 2 days rest
@@thewkovacs316 so, .... we'll never know if Tony C would have given Gibson a strike zone !!
Feways still here. Yawkey and his racist legacy are gone.
I still remember our school principal played the Sox game over the intercom. Been a Red Sox fan since!
WHAT'S WITH THE DEAD AIR? THUMBS DOWN...😮
