As an 87 year old fan of 70+ years, I am absolutely thrilled!! I remember like it was yesterday attending a World Series playoff game in 1967-Red Sox against the Cardinals. Sat 3 rows behind first base and watched Geo Scott play first base, Lonberg pitch a no-hitter through 7 innings, Yaz and Conig in the outfield and the Hawk catching. Unfortunately, though they won that game, they went on to lose the series. Hope for better luck this year. Too old to attend games now, but never miss watching at home.

Sorry to mess with your memories but Tony C. didn’t get to play in the ‘67 WS. He went down in Aug. ‘67 and was out for the season and a lot more, with that terrible pitch to the head/eye. Ken “Hawk” Harrelson and Jose Tartabull split RF duties after Harrelson was acquired in an August trade. Elston Howard was also acquired via trade down the stretch and did a lot of the catching.
What a year that was. Yaz, Lonborg & co. were tremendous. Triple Crown and MVP for Yaz, Cy Young for Lonborg. The Cardinal were a bit too much for them in the WS with Bob Gibson dominating 3 games, but still, it was a terrific season.
