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. Led by 1967 MVP Carl
Yastrzemski and Boston's first Cy Young Award winner, Jim Lonborg, the
youngest Red Sox team since the days of Babe Ruth went from ninth to
first place in what remains the closest pennant race in baseball
history. Tony Conigliaro, Rico Petrocelli, George Scott, Reggie Smith,
Billy Rohr, Jerry Adair, and their teammates became household names to
the Fenway Faithful as they carried the Red Sox to their first World
Series in 21 years under manager Dick Williams.
