The regular season had one of the most memorable finishes in baseball history, as the AL pennant race went down to the last game, with the Red Sox finishing one game ahead of both the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins in the final AL standings. The Red Sox won the AL w/a record of 92 wins and 70 losses. The team then faced the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals in the 1967 World Series, which the Red Sox lost in seven games. Often referred to as "The Impossible Dream", this was the team's first winning season since 1958, as the Red Sox shocked all of New England and the rest of the baseball world by reaching the World Series for the first time since 1946, acquiring the nickname of "The Cardiac Kids" along the way.

An 18-time All-Star, seven-time Gold Glove Award winner, three-time AL batting champion. He played his entire MLB career w/the Red Sox (1961-1983. Inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1989.
