What a difference in announcing. No wasted words or endless stories. Also, the pitchers take less than 15 seconds between each pitch. A BETTER GAME!

So nice to hear announcers just broadcasting the game - Today's announcers should use this tape as a training class.

So sad to think that it was only a month prior to this game that Tony Conigliaro was tragically injured. I wish someone would upload a full game with Tony playing. Nice to see Fenway Park plain and Ad Free, and the television broadcast without a cluttered up screen with constantly running tickers. The games back then were so much more enjoyable to watch.

Look how great those uniforms look too

While I am sure that this is insignificant to practically anyone else, what a treat it was for me to see Cal Ermer as manager of the Twins. Cal spent his last years in Chattanooga and was frequently seen at Chattanooga Lookouts games where I had a summer part time job. I remember him as a gracious and kind gentleman who I was privileged to get to know. Thanks for posting this.

11 years old and I remember watching this with my Pop. Killer...Tony....Carew...Kaat......Allison....a die hard LOYAL Twins fan. Thanks for this upload!

This was my first year as a Sox fan, I was 10 years old and have never looked back. Love my Sox forever

What a pleasure to listen to minimal commentary instead of the constant barrage of useless statistics viewers are punished with during games now.

Ken Coleman is play-by-play announcer... one of the best!!!

Great players out on the field. Just an all-around better time for baseball.

The coverage for this game was from the original WHDH-TV-5 Boston. RCA TK-43 cameras were used; the remote truck used only three cameras; a fourth was added the following year.

This was a bit before my time, being born in '75. But I knew all about the the Red Sox and the '67 season (Conigliaro, Yaz, Patrocelli, and all the classic players) from my dad who was a huge baseball fan and quite the pitcher. He went to a Red Sox open tryout and did pretty well. They were even going to offer him a minor league contract, but his focus was on college--went to Brown University to get his engineering degree. To his death, he was an ardent baseball fan. I LOVED the dozens of times we went to Fenway to watch the Sox. Nothing like that experience for a young kid. Baseball, family, and the American way. God bless.

Wonderful baseball telecast, really brings back memories, thank you for sharing

I remember going to this game what a great season. Love Fenway park

Hard to believe this was more than 50 years ago

Brings back memories of my grandfathers who both were Sox fans as am I…hearing John Kiley’s organ brings a nostalgic tear to my eye!

No graphic overlays, no loud ass walk up music, just pure baseball. At around 24:00 the Hawk should be saying”I gone!”

When baseball was America’s game , pure and love for the game ,

1972 also came down to a half game with Detroit winning the division over Boston. They played a different number of games that year due to the players strike.

I was born in LA , Calif in 1963 and at about 8, having moved to San Diego, saw my first NBC Saturday Game of the Week from Fenway. I was 100% hooked on baseball. I read every book I could find. I went to Padres games...but nothing has ever compared to Fenway. Ever. When Gowdy and Kubek would be in Boston in the early 70's I sat there mesmerized by Fenway having read the history of the team, the players the "just misses"...I finally made it to Fenway as an adult and spent the entire game roaming the stands, sitting is different seats, soaking it all in. It was one of the best baseball days of my life. To see this in color from 1967 is just hypnotizing to me....thanks for posting.

Yaz was unstoppable at that point

I loved all these teams, including the White Sox and Tigers down to the wire. What a year! Couldn't have been better, Yastremski made the difference. A 5 tool player, but such a great clutch hitter-amazing!

I was five and wish I could write I remember the 1967 season but would be lying. I'm sure I watched Mets and Yankee games up to 1968 living in NJ and then did watch the Red Sox starting in 1969 as we had moved to Southborough. My first baseball hat was a Red Sox hat my Dad bought for me from the Sears in Natick. In 1971 his job moved us back to NJ and at age 9 I became an official Mets fan and Yankee hater. My first ever live game was in 1970 with my older Brother at Fenway. We went on the township Bus and saw the Red Sox and the White Sox and sat in the right field bleachers. Great memories!

This is the game Jim Kaat injures his left elbow and has to be taken out of the game. Changed the whole complexion of the game. I remember this game like it was yesterday. I am a Yankees fan and my father and I just happened to get snippets of this game as we watched the Yankees game on Channel 11.

Awesome....Lifelong Sox fan...Too young to have seen this live...not born till 1969 but Ken Coleman was a great play by play guy. Great on radio too

I was at these two Twins games. I was also at the Tony C beaning game. It was a Friday night, and the next day was an NBC game. Was sitting in Tony's triangle with my father and brother. My brother was leaving for Viet Nam in a few days.

Fascinating footage of H. H. Humphrey glad handing before the game.

1967 was the year I became a rabid baseball fan and adopted the Tigers as my team. That pennant race was simply unbelievable. I was crushed when the Red Sox won it on the very last day, but my boys came back next year and won it all in dramatic fashion. Ahhhhh, memories.....

I was 14 years old when this game was played, and I was thunderstruck by baseball and the Red Sox that year. On this Saturday morning, I set my alarm clock and got up early enough to get to Saturday morning Mass at St.Mary's at the end of my street. I asked God to be sure and give Jose Santiago his very best stuff and to bless Yaz and the rest. Even after 53 years the memory of that as well as the memory of my whole family crowding in the living room to watch the game.....and me up in my bedroom listening to the radio broadcast of the Detroit/California second game (which WHDH carried in Boston) jumping for joy and forever carrying a bit of love for the Angels. By the way, many comments on Ken Coleman here....and he was a very fine announcer. But in my opinion, when the residents of heaven are lazing in their armchairs reading and enjoying the game on the radio, the magnificent voice and brilliant play-by-play that wafts through the air comes from the best announcer I have EVER heard. (And I have heard Barber, Allen, Scully, Buck, Harwell and Brickhouse.) The incomparable Mr. Ned Martin. Nominated and overlooked for the HOF in 2021. The years he was paired with Jim Woods should be used as textbook material for any living soul who aspires to boadcasting baseball games. The shrieking, screaming bozos we listen to nowadays should cower in shame.

I find it relaxing to listen to old baseball games before I go to bed

Interesting to see all the changes from then to now.... *Can actually see the stirrups *Bats have a larger handle and batters actually choke up *Game moves along at a brisk pace Batters swing more for contact than swinging for HRs

Yaz missed being the unanimous choice for 1967 AL MVP by one vote -- for Cesar Tovar. The vote was cast by Max Nichols, who, naturally, covered the Twins.

Miss the days when the core players of a team stayed for years; Killebrew, Oliva, Carew, etc. Baseball was a much, much better game in the late 60's. Remember watching Bob Gibson in that year's world series, and in the '68 series, as well.

Just bought a collection of Roger Angell columns, 'The Summer Game.' He has an essay on the 1967 AL pennant race, and his account of this game is the geographic center of the piece. Great to see that game play out here. (I was born in April 1968, so I missed all this first time around.) It's also sad to realize that in fifty years, someone picking up columns about the current games will read about launch angles, true outcomes, and spin rates, rather than the pageantry of the game and the timelessness of season-changing at-bats and momentous dropped balls. Thank you for posting this treasure. As a Yankees fan since 1976, I still wake up every day with two thoughts: Did the Yanks win? Did the Sawx lose? But there is no denying that baseball is a better sport because of the game's history in Boston. Rivals, sure we are, but we're also partners in the glory of all this game has been and continues to be.

No instant replay, I noticed. I believe that became more common in early 1970s. Then again, it was a pleasure to simply pay attention to a game that was much more simple, yet probably more fabulous, at that time. Just think of the players in their 20s and 30s at that time, 1967. Rod Carew, Killebrew, Tony Oliva, Jim Lonborg, George Scott, Reggie Smith and a pitcher with a rather short career, but did well at times. Santiago. Almost forgot Sparky Lyle, reliever of the Red Sox, who would have a decent career as a reliever for both Red Sox and Yankees. Players in baseball at that time other than the ones on Red Sox and Twins: Gibson, Marichal, Clemente, Aaron, Frank Robinson, and so many others between 30 and 35 years of age who were such greats. And, how could I forget, the AL MVP that season, Yazstremski of Red Sox, who hit for Triple Crown that season, leading league in HRs, RBIs and Batting Average. Definitely, a "Golden Age" for the game. And only one season removed from Koufax getting out of game with a damaged left elbow... Beautiful....

that's john Kiley' at the organ and "everything's comin' up roses" at the start

Probably funnest season in red sox history according to writers and fans at the time. Yaz played out of his mind in last 6 weeks

Muchas gracias por presentar este juego. Vale la pena verlo.

This is beautiful.

Me too; I am internally optimistic! Go Sox!!

Remember this weekend. The White Sox were also involved in this absolute scramble for the AL title. Divisional play did not start until the 1969 season.

I remember this game as well as Ken Coleman's distinctive voice

THEN there was the empty lot at the end of r block, we called it Naughtons Field, cause Mr. Naughton would kindly cut the grass so we all could play there. Mr Naughton would sit there and watch us play as well as his snauzer, BUDWEISER too, and then we would go over and stay awhile and visit, those were the GREAT days of baseball and growing up !! Anybody else got their favorite stories ??

There's a 1965 game between the Reds at Cubs from August 1965 in full color with Jack Brickhouse broadcasting. Roses second year in baseball, and Robinson still on the Reds. Check on you tube...fantastic coverage.

Ken Coleman (PBP) & Mel Parnell (C) 1-3/7-9 Ned Martin (PBP) & Parnell (C) 4-6

Hall of Famers.....Yaz, Carew, Killebrew, Oliva (just elected) and manager Williams. Games were quicker and quieter in those days. Simpler times, good times.

As this and a few other videos on KZfaq successfully illustrate, Major League Baseball in the 1960's was the Golden Age of Baseball. And that's for many reasons. I specialize in the aesthetics of the 60s era, so I'll cover that here: Every team played in great ballparks, whether they were in older, classic ballparks (Phillies' Shibe Park, Reds' Crosley Field, Pirates' Forbes Field, Tigers' namesake Stadium, White Sox' Comiskey Park, Yankee's original namesake Stadium, etc) or in more modern parks (Dodgers' namesake Stadium, Giants' Candlestick Park, Astros' namesake Dome, Angels' Anaheim Stadium, A's Oakland Coliseum, Twins' Metropolitan Stadium, Orioles' Memorial Stadium, etc), they were all great, with the exception of the Cardinals and Senators, who I think were aesthetically better in Busch Stadium I (Sportsmans Park) and Griffith Park, respectively. The dugouts and clubhouses were designed and built to serve the very purpose of a simple area for the players to be in, not virtual apartments like today. The overall look of green seats and steel, simple grandstand construction, and on special occasions, red white and blue bunting, made for a timeless atmosphere that anyone can appreciate. The players also dressed very well. As a comment on a Uni Watch post says, the jersey and pants are trim but not tight. Button down jerseys with short sleeves and true vests reign supreme. The stirrup socks were at the most ideal proportion of stirrup to sanitary sock, allowing for plenty of white (Or yellow in the A's case) while still giving enough space for colorful and creative stripes. It was pre-double knit so every jersey was soft flannel but you still had an injection of powder blue roads. The cap is not quite the exaggerated high peak but isn’t formless either, with green underbrims for reduced glare (The grass is green too) and leather sweatbands with white reeding. No matter what style a team happened to wear, it was almost guaranteed to look like baseball. Teams with classic designs (Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc) and those who experimented with their looks (A's, Pilots, White Sox, Expos, Padres, etc) all looked very elegant, particularly because button-front jerseys and belted pants were still in vogue, giving off a classic, formal vibe, going with the notion of baseball being a gentleman's game. The umpires also looked their best, many times being outfitted in dark navy suits, caps, and black ties and dress shoes, with either white shirts, adding to the aforementioned formal and official vibe. The players not only dressed well, but the equipment they used, consisting of Hillerich and Bradsby made Louisville Slugger or Adirondack natural-colored ash wood bats; Rawlings, Wilson, or Spalding tan leather fielding gloves and mitts; the aforementioned black (Or white in the A's case) leather spikes; simple-construction batting helmets with one earflap, which just seems to scream baseball to me; and catcher's equipment with simple patterns on the chest protector, shin guards (Both of which preferably in team colors), and the steel bars of the mask, were also simple compared to today, but elegant. And that's just the aesthetics of that era-not to mention the caliber of players during that time. But I'll let others cover that. I hope my Heaven is 1960's MLB when my time comes.

I won't lie ,lve been a Red sox fan since 67,i liked their uniforms. The red stands out.YAZ triple crown year !

67 the year Yaz won the triple crown.

This was the yr. we moved to the suburbs of Chgo. and when basebal really became my passion, I grew up n a neighborhood with lots of kids, heck 52 on r block alone and many more down the street. Saturdays were sandlot games at the park, a few of us would git on r bikes and round up the kids to meet at the park, we would b out there till it got dark. First, we would flip to catch the bat at the nob and whoever would kick it out was the winner to bat first. And the great plays, hits, fair or foul was always an argument, catches and I could go on and on. But unlike todays sandlots that u dont see this happening anymore, unless its Little League, its a shame !! But, we were all good friends and would admire each other for r performances and b out there next Saturday, what GREAT times those were !! Then...........came winter and it was HOCKEY season at the same park as a good neighbor would flood the basketball court to freeze fer ice.......some day I'll tell u bout r MIRACLE ON ICE team and games and fights and goals and still the great friendships we had........ OH, to b a kid again....... Anyone else, got their great stories to telll, go fer it ??

I like an answers like this. Calling the game with no gossip

Dick Williams detailed phasing and decision making as well as Carl Yastrzemski won this game. The Twins were the better experienced team.

How great is this 👏

I grew up hearing Ned Martin calling Sox games, and I really miss him. He was a true pro. I’m a little young for Ken Coleman, but it’s great to hear an announcer with a real Boston accent.

Going into this weekend the Minnesota Twins were one game up on both the Red Sox and Tigers for the American League Pennant. The Twins finished the season playing the Red Sox in Boston, all the Twins needed was One Win at Boston to wrap up the 1967 Pennant. But the Red Sox won both games of this two game series, with the Tigers splitting their last two with the Angels, giving the Red Sox the 1967 American League Pennant.

White Sox were also in the pennant race, they stumbled the last week of the season. The entire season was a 4 team race to the World Series.

Cool, Jim Perry is in the game(Gaylords' bro). Tony C. had a bro too(Billy). Tonys' loss was tremendous, though he tried to comeback as a pitcher.

This is a GREAT PRESENTATION FOR 1967. Look at the 1968 World Series that's on KZfaq. It is a disaster compared to this. The 68 game has bad camera angles and low quality pictures. And low quality announcing. This 67 game is AMAZING!

This game was also broadcast on NBC as their Game of the Week telecast....Curt Gowdy and Pee Wee Reese with the play by play...

The last two months of the season were the best any player ever had when Yaz tore through every pitcher in the league. He's alway's been my favorite player. Being from Boston, I got to see his entire career. Just an amazing talent. Hawk Harrelson agrees with me that Carl Yastrzemski is the best left fielder ever. By the way, he was in right field for this game replacing Tony C...

I dont know how I got here but somthings about the lack of convenient overlays on screen makes the game alot more engaging as I have to pay attention. It makes it much more enjoyable

What interesting footage this is from 1967 and two Teams playing for the American League Pennant. It’s fenomimal

A pitcher positioning an outfielder! Is this still done 🤔

No hype. No constant changing of pitchers. No advertisements by play by play announcers. Did players make significantly more than the average person? (Well, at least the good ones) Yes. Were the salaries off the charts and in another galaxy? No. This was a pleasure to view. About 1970 on the nose was when I first really started paying attention to baseball, whether on TV, at the game, or playing it myself, and this telecast from 1967 is a pleasure to view. The simple "thinking man's" team sport hadn't gotten way too complicated, yet..

Its to bad Tony Conigliaro couldnt be a part of this, and the World Series thanks to the beaning he suffered.

Notice how high the pitchers mound was. After Bob Gibson's 1968 season when his era was a ridiculous 1.12, they lowered the mound from 16 to 10 inches high. 1968, known as the year of the pitcher. It wouldn't have made much difference. Gibson could have struck you out even if he was pitching from center field!

Yaz really carried the Sox all the way in 1967. Tony Conigliaro was beaned and nearly killed in August and was out for the rest of the season but Yaz won the Triple Crown and was red hot in September.

Yaz would be last triple crown until 2012 when Miguel Cabrera did it.

Classic

Days gone by..... also the Patriots were still playing at Fenway then. Field looks a little rough, that could be the reason.

Old school baseball.

Way outside to harmon and they call that junk a strike ???

Real video tape. not a shitty kinescope. good stuff.

The sixties! Cool!!

Kaat putting up zeros, and then gets hurt. Key moment.

32:30 Yaz playing the monster perfectly

The foul ball into the booth at 1:02:20 was great fun

How is it possible for this telecast to be saved while no others are? I've been told that the full tape of entire telecasts were not able to be saved then so generally none survive, but this one does. Also, Ken Coleman sounds like he was a great announcer and I'm surprised he's not yet in the broadcast wing of the baseball HOF.

Umpires HP Jim Honochick (Crew Chief) 1B Nestor Chylak 2B Cal Drummond 3B Marty Springstead

There was no such thing as coming set from the stretch back then.

I think the Chicago White Sox were in the pennant race up till this point in the season.

I heard that comment many times

Ken Coleman, Ned Martin and Mel Parnell were excellent. No extra banter except to provide interesting pertinent information. Baseball was bigger than life back then.

Definitely not HD or 4K. Still pretty impressive for 1967

Given the player's stats, I can't figure out why Carew didn't bat 1st or 2nd in the lineup.

Help me here- the announcer says that in this game, Tovar is playing in his 163rd game of the season, with the last game of the season the next day still left to finish the 162 game season. If he plays in that one, which he did, it would be his 164th game played in a 162 game season- how is that possible?

I was just looking at the box score and some articles and it's safe to say if Jim Kaat doesn't get hurt, the Twins win this game and who knows? He was on a roll that September of 67 and the Twins bullpen stunk in this game.

2:11:00 "C'mon Bell, what the hell?" Hahahahahaha

✌🏿😎

woww, Veep Humphrey! Carew batting 6th?

It's 52 years later and Fenway Park still looks the same, right down to the green plastic garbage-bag fencing.

The Killer! Go Twinkies! 😃⚾

This is the oldest known complete broadcast of an MLB game to exist: It was a situation where the Twins had to win both games just to assure themselves of a one-game playoff with the Tigers the following Monday (October 2, 1967) while the Red Sox at this point were not assured of anything even if they had won both games of this series (it was a two-game series as in those days, MLB didn't automatically make every weekend series start on Thursday or Friday). Back-to-back postponemts due to rain on Thursday night and cold on Friday night (temps in the low 40s that today they would play through) forced the Angels and Tigers to complete their 1967 seasons with back-to-back doubleheaders at Tiger Stadium, so if the Tigers had won all four games they would have been assured of no worse than a one-game playoff. The White Sox were also in this race, but had been eliminated that Friday night (9/29/'67) with a loss at home to the (then-Washington) Senators (now Texas Rangers), as the White Sox actually got swept by the Senators in their final weekend series of that season. The Red Sox would get the help they needed to remain alive if they won Saturday (which they would) when the Tigers split the first of the two doubleheaders against the Angels to close that season. That meant the winner of the Sunday (10/1/'67) Twins-Red Sox game would be assured no worse than a one-game playoff on Monday while the Tigers now had to sweep the Angels on Sunday to stay alive and force that plsyoff. Of course, the Red Sox would win their game on Sunday, but as the Tigers won the first game of the second doubleheader, the Red Sox had to sweat out whether or not they would be going to the World Series against the Cardinals (before 1969 there were no divisions and the regular season champions of each league went directly to the World Series with the Cardinals easily winning the National League in 1967). The Angels would beat the Tigers in the second game of the second doubleheader and the Red Sox of course went to the World Series. That 1967 season saved baseball in Boston and in the process saved Yankees-Red Sox as the biggest rivalrly in all of sports that it now is (and has been since the '70s when both teams were good at the same time for the first time in many years as the Red Sox had been horrific for most of the 1950's and '60s prior to the 1967 season). The Red Sox had been 62-100 just two seasons earlier in 1965 and a couple of days just over two years before this game, the Red Sox hosted the then-newly minted California Angels (who had just changed their name from the Los Angeles Angels in Sept. 1965) before two of the smallest crowds in MLB history: 461 (I believe the fourth-smallest crowd in MLB history) on Sept. 28, 1965 and 409 (second smallest ever and smallest crowd in American League history) on Sept. 29 for a combined attendance of 870, smallest ever for a two-game series in MLB history. This, and another bad season in 1966 (where the Red Sox season actually ended five days before everyone else as their original season-ending series against the Senators wound up having to be re-scheduled as parts of doubleheaders earlier that season due to the Patriots having a home game at Fenway on Oct. 2, 1966, the final day of that MLB season) led to the Yawkeys looking to move the Red Sox to Milwaukee to replace the Braves that had moved to Atlanta for the 1966 season. This season prevented that, though if the Yawkeys did that, this Red Sox team likely takes on the Brewers name the Seattle Pilots would take when they moved to Milwaukee days before the 1970 season began while Boston likely would have gotten an expansion team that got the Red Sox name that would have come in instead of the Pilots for the 1969 season without the problems the Pilots had as MLB caved into threats by elected officials that forced MLB to have the Royals and Pilots to begin play in 1969.

Just curious, group. Ken Harrelson's season + with the Red Sox was very good (AS Game in 68). He was in his prime, very productive, could play OF, 1B, pinch hit. Why did they trade him? And for Sonny Seibert? That golf nonsense doesn't explain it. Thoughts?

YEA YEA

Kaat looked little bit bigger compared to his latter years.

Previous MVP Zoilo Versailles might have been the difference of this series.. A .201 regular season average?? Come on..

Coleman, the announcer, insists on giving the Detroit Tiger score, but yet refuses to mention how their game impacts the Red Sox.

sky blue Twins!

I like the uniforms. Not the pajamas they wear today.
