Nice story unfolds as Carl's grandson Mike homers in 1st Fenway appearance. It seems a couple years back we were reading Yaz was gravely ill. He looked pretty good.
I was a Yankee fan as a kid and still am. However the 67 Sox captured the imagination of New England with Yaz leading the way. I remember the line up top to bottom. First time I really followed a team or a race. Tigers, Twins and Red Sox all in it with the Sox vs Twins and Tigers playing the Angels on the final weekend. White Sox managed by Eddie Stanky were in it with just a few days to go by the way. Of course "The Impossible Dream" was their theme.
The Cards in the NL were loaded with Brock, Flood, Gibson, Cepeda and others and prevailed in a 7 game series.
