1967 Boston Red Sox Season

The 1967 Boston Red Sox season, often referred to as The Impossible Dream, consisted of 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 winning the American League Championship (also called the AL Pennant) and reaching the World Series for the first time since 1946. The season had one of the most memorable finishes in baseball history, as the AL pennant race went to the very last game, with Boston (92–70) beating out the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins by one game.

Famous quotes containing the words boston, red and/or season:

    We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.
    —Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)

    What blazed ahead of you? A faked road block?
    The red lamp swung, the sudden brakes and stalling
    Engine, voices, heads hooded and the cold-nosed gun?
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    The LORD will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 28:12.
