The season had one of the most memorable finishes in baseball history, as the AL pennant race went to the very last game, with the Red Sox beating out the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins by one game

This moment-by-moment tribute to the 1967 Red Sox includes many special boxes, statistics, and personal insights from the players and excerpts from Bobby Doerr's diary. One of the greatest underdogs in baseball history, the 1967 Boston Red Sox defied odds of 100 to 1 against them to win the American League pennant. Paced by the marvelous all around play of Carl Yastrzemski, the pitching of Jim Lonborg, and the fiery play of the ill-fated Tony Conigliaro, who was almost killed by a beanball, Boston's surge to the top of the league was a memorable one. Red Sox radio announcer Coleman and writer Valenti have re-created an almost tediously detailed diary of that fabulous year

Produced to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their stunning shot at the World Series, this documentary also offers detailed interviews with a variety of players and personalities from that era, including: Billy Rohr, George Scott, Reggie Smith, Tony C, and Jim Lonborg

The Red Sox honored the members of the 1967 Impossible Dream season with a ceremony before last night’s game against St. Louis. The Red Sox were beaten by the Cardinals in seven games in the 1967 World Series. The Fenway fans were on their feet as the players were introduced. The biggest ovation was saved for left fielder Carl Yastrzemski, who earned the Triple Crown that year and was named the American League MVP. I think it’s great we brought Boston fans back to the ballpark, Yaz said. In my previous six years, we were lucky to get 10,000 people on a Friday night

These days, Red Sox Nation is used to playoff runs and World Series wins. But that wasn’t always the case. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the team’s remarkable Impossible Dream, which saw Boston come back to win the American League pennant in the very last game of 1967 season. While the Red Sox ended up losing to the Cardinals in the World Series, it was a helluva run for the squad, which put together its first winning season since 1958 that year and also made it to the championship for the first time since 1946. The 1967 season was a brutal one for Tony C, who was hit by a pitch on Aug. 18 at Fenway Park, fracturing his cheekbone, dislocating his jaw and injuring his left retina. The Massachusetts native was forced to sit out the rest of the year and was never the same player following the incident. It is bittersweet because he was only 22, Richie says.

The Impossible Dream became a fitting moniker for the Boston Red Sox season of 1967, a summer that still evokes memories of a time that united a city and transformed a franchise.
