      Yup. About 4 months later, they would pull off the greatest comeback in MLB playoff history against the Yankees in the ALCS and then go on to win easily in the World Series. They finally steered clear of the iceberg once they figured out they were re-enacting the titanic sinking. Wright figure it out for them !

    • @fenwayify
      @fenwayify Před 2 lety

      They didn't choke in '67. Gibson crushed 'em with 3 complete game wins and an arm weary Lonborg won 2, but ran out of gas in the deciding game 7. It took a long time for the Sox to recognize the need for more than 1 good starter, or pitching in general, to win championships. They were reminded of that truth in '21, but they sure had it in '04, when they also learned to fight back and had unbelievable heart...In '67, St. Louis also had Lou Brock, who killed 'em on the bases...there was no choking...
