The Impossible Dream became a fitting moniker for the Boston Red Sox season of 1967, a summer that still evokes memories of a time that united a city and transformed a franchise. Led by 1967 MVP Carl Yastrzemski and Boston's first Cy Young Award winner, Jim Lonborg, the youngest Red Sox team since the days of Babe Ruth went from ninth to first place in what remains the closest pennant race in baseball history. Tony Conigliaro, Rico Petrocelli, George Scott, Reggie Smith, Billy Rohr, Jerry Adair, and their teammates became household names to the Fenway Faithful as they carried the Red Sox to their first World Series in 21 years under manager Dick Williams.

By the end of 1966, the Boston Red Sox were a team in serious trouble. The Red Sox had not won a pennant in twenty years and had not posted a winning record in eight. Pampered by their benevolent owner, Tom Yawkey, the Red Sox had developed a reputation as a team that cared more about having a good time than winning baseball games. The "Gold Sox" (or "Jersey Street Jesters") were sometimes playing before fewer than 1,000 fans at Fenway Park. Yawkey, disillusioned, began seriously considering selling the team or moving the franchise to another city. Then, in 1967, a brash rookie manager named Dick Williams took charge of a hungry, but very young and inexperienced team that did not know how to win. A strict disciplinarian, Williams had no tolerance for nonsense, and he taught the Red Sox how to play the game right. Yet, when he predicted that the Red Sox would win more games than they'd lose in 1967, no one took him seriously. The Red Sox forged a 10-game, midseason winning streak. Adopting the theme song from the hit Broadway musical, Man of La Mancha, the 1967 Red Sox season became "The Impossible Dream." The fans grew excited again and started flocking to Fenway Park or tuning their radios to the broadcasts of the games. Over the season's final six weeks, the Red Sox never led or trailed by more than 1 1/2 games. Three teams were still in the pennant race during their final game. When that day was over, the Red Sox had become the first and only team in major-league history to rise from ninth place to league champion. The Red Sox remain indebted to the 1967 champions, and they will be indebted forever. Rico Petrocelli, one of Boston's most beloved athletes and a twenty-four-year-old shortstop on that "Impossible Dream" team, recaptures the thrills of that improbable season through his unique anecdotes. Rico chronicles both the nightmare that threatened to swallow an organization and the resurrection that would reinvigorate a team and a city that share the same heart. Now updated to include the Red Sox's successes since the 1967 season, Tales from the 1967 Red Sox Dugout is a must-have for all BoSox fans.

Former Boston Red Sox star Rico Petrocelli gives longtime fans an opportunity to relive the magical, unforgettable 1967 season, and younger fans a chance to learn about the year that reversed the fortunes of a dying franchise and served as the catalyst that transformed the Red Sox into one of the best and most popular organizations in professional sports today. Through his anecdotes, the former All-Star shortstop provides a unique first-hand account of that incredible campaign with the added perspective that time can only enhance. Petrocelli, who starred for the Red Sox from 1965-76, was a Red Sox in the worst of times, the best of times, and the greatest of times. From his game-winning home run on Opening Day to his catch for the final out that clinched the pennant, he was a major force on the Impossible Dream. Now he takes Red Sox fans back through the 1967 season, one fascinating tale at a time, along with some of his views from more recent Sox successes.

The 1967 Boston Red Sox made an "Impossible Dream" come true for all Red Sox Fans. When the season began, Las vegas assigned the Red Sox a one in one hundred shot to capture the American League pennant. Their fate remained in doubt until the very last game of the season. This truly was a team that captured lightning in a bottle. They were counted out time and time again, but always countered with the unlikely. They lost their star fielder when local hero, Tony Conigliaro, was nearly killed by a fastball thrown by Jack Hamilton of the California Angels. They entered the last week of the season with only a mathematical chance at the pennant. Yet each time they reached a little deeper to find their magic. Relive this remarkable season through the reflections of the '67 team members.
