Comprehensive and scholarlyBy WDX2BBIf Home Box Office is looking for a subject for another in its series of superb sports documentaries (it really has little competition in the field, although NBC has done some good work lately), the 1967 Red Sox is a great candidate.The Red Sox of '67 changed forever. The team went from ninth to first and came within a game of winning the World Series. More importantly, it rejuvenated interest in baseball throughout New England -- we are still feeling the effects of that today -- and probably saved from the wrecking ball. The rivalry against the Yankees probably never gets going again without that '67 team.A few books have been written on that team over the years. "The 1967 Impossible Dream Red Sox" certainly is the most comprehensive. It was written by the Boston members of the Society for American Baseball Research.The centerpiece of the book consists of mini-biographies of every player who took part in a game in 1967 for the Red Sox. There are seven pages on , as you might expect. There are five pages on Ken Poulsen, as you might not expect. Poulsen was called up for two weeks, had a and then went back to Single A, never to return to the majors. The tough part was finding him; Bill Nowlin did, as Poulsen turned up in California.The biographies have several different authors but are written in exactly the same style. That gets a little old by player number 28, but it's fun to read about the contributions of each player and what happened to them before and after 1967. From there, the manager, coaches and general manager get biographies. That's followed by a series of articles on the team, including looks at spring training, broadcasters, and (the team's traditional charity). A day-by-day account of the season is also included, but it's almost redundant after all of the material that comes before it.Boston's SABR chapter obviously is an active one, with a book on various viewpoints of a Red Sox game being published a few years back. "The 1967 Impossible Dream Red Sox" is a better effort than that one. If you want to learn more about that team because it rekindled your interest in baseball (guilty) or you merely want to know what all the fuss is about, this will do the job.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. LOVE the 67 Sox, this Book is OkayBy Roderick S. HaynesOh, I don't know. It's great reading about the individual histories of the players comprising that storied '67 BoSox team, but the book is a bit tedious. You want to pick it up and read a few pages and then come back later. I was 12 in the summer and fall of 1967 and I was with the Red Sox the entire way, as they battled the Twins, White Sox, and Tigers all the way to the last game, then won the pennant on the final day of the regular season. Broke my heart when the Cardinals won the 7th and deciding game in October 1967. Very poignant memories, cast against the background of race riots in Boston and Providence and Detroit and Chicago that summer. The book itself is clunky and not particularly well written. But I will keep it on my shelf just because it's about the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM season. Boomer Scott, Yaz, Tony C., Joe Foy, Mike Andrews, , Jim Lomborg, , , manager , and all the rest live once again here. Great memories. RH5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. One of the best sports books evahBy Bob Bee1967 marks the first year that I really became a baseball fan, and the first year I saw Fenway Park. I remember my first sight of the storied as if it were yesterday. As much as I am enjoying the more recent success of the Red Sox, there will never be another year like '67.I do not exagerate and I say in confidence that I enjoyed this book more than any sports book that I have ever read. It brought back 1967, and some of my best childhood memories. It also preserves a great time in baseball history, along with the stories of the young men who comprised this team, hero and benchwarmer alike. I, along with Red Sox (and baseball) fans everywhere owe the authors a debt of gratitude. One can sense the dedication of the editors in compiling this great volume.Especially if you are a Red Sox fan and remember '67, but even if you are a casual baseball fan, this is an unbelievable bargain - at this price you simply must get this book.

The lsquo;67 Red Sox fulfilled a seemingly Impossible Dream, overcoming 100-to-1 odds by climbing out of ninth place to capture the pennant for the first time in 21 years. Thousands of delirious fans streamed onto the field at Fenway Park mobbing the team, dismantling the scoreboard, climbing the screen behind home plate. It truly was, in the words of Sox radio announcer , ldquo;pandemonium on the field.rdquo; As Peter Gammons once wrote of this great season, ldquo;It wasn't always the way it is now, and might never have been but for rsquo;67.rdquo; This book is a tribute to the members of the Impossible Dream team, including biographies of all 39 players that year as well as appreciations of this remarkable season by an all-star lineup featuring , , Gordon Edes, Peter Gammons, , and many more. The book also presents over 300 rare photographs and memorabilia from this special Red Sox season. A project of the Boston chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research, this volume gathers the collective efforts of more than 60 SABR members and friends of the non-profit research society.
