Rest In Peace to the great Bob Gibson. no one will ever come close again to what he accomplished.

67-70 with all the great players in the game, Yaz was the best player in MLB. He pretty much carried the R. Sox in 1967. Amazing year!

My last year in Little League was 1964. Our uniforms were white with red lettering. I wore number 8 and batted left handed. Watched and rooted for the new players coming up through the mid 60s. Then came 1967, a freshman in high school watched the games that were televised, but the bulk were listened to on transistor radios. Everyone on the edge of their seats for 162 games. The final weekend beat the Minnesota Twins twice and got to the World Series. The cardiac kids gave us their all. A week after the conclusion of the 67 World Series, late October a charity golf tournament was held at Pleasant Valley Country Club, Sutton, Massachusetts. Tickets were sold to the general public. An estimated crowd of around 10,000 gathered to watch Golf Professional Paul Harney, Bob Cousy, Ken Harrelson and Carl Yastrzemski play 18 holes. This kid capped off the Impossible Dream caddying for Carl Yastrzemski that day! I would have done it for nothing but thank you for the generous tip Mr. Yastrzemski.

Back then players were very classy I think it's a better look being modest after hitting a homerun with just a casual handshake than the way it is now..

RIP Lou Brock (1939 - 2020).

Nice listening to Harry Caray. Reminds of when I listened to years like this, with my radio under my pillow when I was supposed to be sleeping on a school night.

A few future Hall of Famers in the '67 Series. That play at the plate in the fourth, Yaz gunning down Javier. Carl Yastrzemski had one of the most magical seasons in MLB history in 1967, and I saw every game on t.v. or listened to it on radio. I just graduated high school, (Lawrence High, in Falmouth, Cape Cod, Ma.) and the summer of '67 is one that I will always cherish.

Roger Maris had a GREAT World Series

First World Series I ever watched. Have been a Red Sox fan ever since, taught myself to hit lefty because wanted to be like Yaz.

1967 the Red Sox Impossible Dream year. I was seven, at home in Dorchester, and listened to a whole bunch of games with my brother on his cheapo transitor radio in the backyard. Amazing memories!

The Cards had a fantastic team that year and that game was really special. Mike Shannon was great. Brock was great. Some of the greatest players of all time on that team. I still remember listening to the game on radio.

This was the first year I remember following the Cardinals, I was 8 years old.

Being born a Redbird fan, the happiest year of my short life......little did I know I would get to experience the saddest day of my young life just a year later!!!....would repeat the thrill and spills in the 80s......just happy that even though I was born and raised in NJ, I was always a Cardinal's fan...they've given a lifetime of enjoyment!!!

No one ever carried a team like Yaz did for the Red Sox in 1967

Love all of this! Great series as the Cardinals were considered unstoppable. Sox took it to 7 games. Dr. Jim Lonborg's dental practice is right down the street from our home. A great guy to this day!

🎼 Carl Yastrzemski! Carl Yastrzemski!! 🎶 Carl Yastrzemski!!! 🎶 The man we call Yaz! 🎵

I'm in Geometry class and my teacher for this class is my baseball coach. I was sitting in the back row as the class took a pop quiz. I had the game on with my transistor radio. I was in a Catholic high school so we wore ties and blazers and I had the radio in my inside coat pocket and the wire went up my left arm and out my left wrist with the speaker pressed into my left ear with the palm of my hand over my ear . Well around the third inning coach shows up at my desk leans over and asks "who's winning" with a wink and a smile. Happy memory !

gibby game 7, tosses a 3 hitter for his 3rd win and hits an HR to straight away center. RIP, my all time sports hero!

Great Series. The first I can remember watching on tv. Roger Maris had 6 RBI’s in the series. Elston Howard another Yankees legends played great behind the plate for the Sox. Bob Gibson the best in the 60’s!

What a phenomenal year Yaz had in 67; he was practically walking on water that season

This and the following Series were great and the 69 was pretty good too. Back when we had to sneakily listen to the games on our transistor radios in school.

A buddy and I waited in separate lines all night at Busch Stadium for tickets. We got to attend two games watching from the bleachers. We were only 15 yo. It was great!

Lou Brock was one hell of a baseball player.

Brock was a Beast! Tough out and hard to stop on the basepaths.

Yaz could cover the Green monster like no other.....ever!

1967 was a great World Series. The Red Sox had triple crown winner Carl Yastrzemski but the Cardinals had Lou Brock, Curt Flood, Orlando Cepeda and of course Bob Gibson who was masterful winning 3 games and the World Series!

shame to see Lonnie run out of gas in the 7th game after such commanding performances in his other two starts in this hard fought Series; but he only had two days rest & the Sox didn't have much pitching depth then - but it was still the greatest season in team history!

The legendary Bob Gibson, wish i would've had the pleasure to see him play live.

The Red Sox had a hilarious comic in the 68 yearbook with a little kid that had painted on a fence "Juvian Javier is a herk"😂

The end of the American league pennant race was amazing that year, with 4 teams battling it out until the final day. My Dad had placed a bet , if the Red Sox won the pennant, he would win $2000, if they lost, he would have to pay $500. The Red Sox won the flag, and my Dad was a very happy guy!

I was 10. Yaz was my first hero...

Tony Conigliaro absence in the playoffs most certainly was the Red Sox demise.

Great series! Better memories thank you

The great Lou Brock didn't hit many homers, but when he did, he hit them far!

Great show.

The players in the 60s were classier and way better than what we have now.

I remember every game of this series. Used to read box scores in the papers every day during baseball season. That Cardinal line-up was pretty consistent throughout the year: Brock, Flood, Maris, Cepeda, McCarver (or Shannon), Shannon, Javier, Maxvil, and pitcher's spot. Went into that series rooting for the Cardinals, however, Boston's heroic effort, Fenway Park, and the rabid Red Sox fans made me a Red Sox fan from that moment to this day.

The 1967 Red Sox "Impossible Dream" team is the best Red Sox team that didn't won a World Series title until 2004!!!

A Glorious win for the cards!

what a great world series

it's great to hear harry caray in his prime.

The Cardinals were my favorite team and I listened to most of the season's games on the radio in eastern Kansas when I was 12.

Dad still talks about Bob Gibson

There should be a place in the Hall of Fame for Curt Flood and Marvin Miller.

Thanks a million!

Time is so vast Holy cow.. it makes me feel irrelevant..

I was only 6 years old when this series was played always good to see Yaz make those great catches in left field too bad the Red Sox couldn't have pulled off the upset being the underdogs

2 yrs in a row, F. Robinson(66) and C. Yazz (67) won MVPs on the strength of triple crown seasons. Awesome to see E. Howard and R. Maris once again in post season. Gibson would have won alot more games, had he not got hit by a R. Clemente line Drive that year. I don't understand how O. Cepeda unanimously won MVP honors that year. I thought R. Santo (Cubs), or R. Clemente (Pirates), had great years as well.

Great video 📹 All daytime play; wouldn't be a World Series night game until 1971. . . . and now there hasn't been a day game since 1981!

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.

This was the first year that I could understand baseball as I was 6 years old going on 7, my little friends and I finally picked a team to root for and there where 2 - Jim’s, 2 - John’s and a Richard and a Louis, so we all agreed to root for Saint Louis this year (1967), what’s funny is we all still root for the Cardinals and have even traveled out to Busch to watch a week of baseball, but boy has baseball changed and not for the better !!

At the end, umpire Augie Donatelli runs up to Julian Javier and takes his hat!

My grandfather is playing in the band here. :D

Dear Sports History Channel, I was so fortunate to have been raised in America during the 1960's! What majesty! The 1960's produced the most exciting Hall of Fame Baseball players! The players, in those wonderful days, still wore stirrups, their hair was short and they wore no facial hair! and we're lean! They looked like professional baseball players! When these men hit a Home Run they trotted around the bases then shook hands with teammates. They didn't celebrate like they just won the World Series! They behaved like professionals!

When baseball was King

Addendum: After the 1968 season, Major League Baseball expanded and was never the same!

not to take away but 1968 WS, One of my favs all time!!

classic baseball in the 1967 and 1968 world series, with two 7-game series. I loved watching the world series as a kid, as getting to see the Cardinals for 7 games was a treat--back then, you maybe got to see your favorite team play 2-3 times a year, if that.

I saw Jim Lonborg pitch with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1976.

Was that Harry Caray doing the narrating? Wow, he sounds...sober. LMAO

My first World Series

When I play Baseball strat-o-matic, which is such a realistic statistic game that sometimes it is almost scary as to how real it plays, these two teams can be counted on to play 7 games. Boston got a bad break when Tony C missed the series due to the eye injury after being severly beaned so sometimes I have him play and other times go with Dalton Jones. I noticed Jones is at third and Tartabul in the outfield so where was Joe Foy? I know Brock and others had a fine series as did Yaz and Lonborg on the Red Sox, but all I can say about the Cards winning it is Bob Gibson makes the difference. This was the case in 1964 and almost the case a third time against the Tigers in 1968. Bob Gibson was outstanding in post season.

Yaz was tremendous in the 1967 world series.

Maris had an outstanding series. Yanks should've kept him.

@ 31: something a young Reggie Smith hits a homerun, after that he hit a few in world series games.

The fields looked in shoddy condition,.....but then....the best seats in the stadiums then went for $3......not $3000.

Javier was safe at home...he was tagged with the glove but the ball was in the catchers hand

That narrator sounds like a younger Harry Caray when he was with the Cardinals. My guess is that it's him!

Here's the best way to summarize how great Gibson was in the '67 World Series: Lou Brock would have been World Series MVP 9 times out of 10. Brock was statistically awesome and disruptive. Maybe co-MVP's, but that's nitpicking.

that opening scene is of rod CAAAAREW hitting a hot shot picked by Petrocelli

RIP , Rico Petracelli .

It’s too bad Curt Gowdy, Ken Coleman and Ned Martin were not the voice over for these highlights. That would have been perfect.

"Jose gets a big reception from his mates" 6:42 . LOL

...I'd forgotten that Ellie Howard played for the Bosox...

The Sox just couldn't seem to get Brock out, could they? He also seemed to have an uncanny ability to accelerate just before reaching second base.

Al Barlick is a hall of fame umpire (Game 6)

Everything that could go wrong for the Detroit Tigers in 1967 did go wrong, but they managed to stay in it until the very last day of the season. The Tigers were probably the better team on paper than the Red Sox, but that is why the games are played on the field.

Bosox may have taken the Series with Conigliaro in the lineup. Unfortunately he missed this one, and then retired early in 1975 and missed that one.

All the empires looks so old.

As great a Gibson was the best pitched game was Game 2 by Lonborg. That was one of the best pitched games in ANY World Series.

6:32 first redsox pitcher to homer in a ws and the last redsox pitcher to drive in a run in the ws till dice k in 2007 game 3

the sox won two blowouts 5-0 and 8-4, and the cards won 2 blowouts 7-2 and 6-0, the other games were close

Harry Caray narrating.

Brock got up every inning.

It was an impressive site. It seemed to me he had another gear, which would kick in when he needed to. What was more fun was to see a hitter get good contact (which didn’t happen very often) then that hitter came back back up later in the game. Almost always the hitter would get a pitch up close and personal, and he took it like a man. No charging the mound, no team warnings, just good country fastball. Prime Donna players today.

In retrospect, the National League had more great players than the American League in the sixties. Both hitting and pitching. The Cardinals were a great example of that.

It's ashame Tony C never got to play in this series....The Red Sox also lost HOF Jim Rice for the 75 series...who nos if the out comes wood have been different..I became good friends with Hawk Harrelson and he always said nobody but nobody could hit Gibson...

What's with the umpire snatching the caps off two of the Cardinals after the final out of Game 7? That dude was a cap snatcher!

5:13 nifty play

Narrated by Harry Caray.

I was at this game

Jose santiago did something in game one that babe ruth and ted williama never did...hit a world series home run for the redsox

If memory serves me correctly Jim Lonborg pitched for the Phillies in the 1970s.

This is actually kina honor watch Brock gibby two extraordinary legendary athletes but on another note wasn’t this the first year bottle top bush stadium?

Viva El Birdos

Harry Carey before Budweiser became his good pal.

They had cameras behind the pitcher after 1954 yet they insist on jumping around showing the base coach, the fans, etc

At the 7:30 mark, the catcher tags the runner with his mitt, while he's holding the baseball in his right hand. That makes the runner safe and not out.

Remember the Bill Mazorouski Homerun as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Yankees 10-9 in the 1960 World Series.

Boston should thank the mob for breaking Denny McLain's foot with 5 weeks to go!! That and the rainout's in Det that forced the Tigers to play back to back doubleheaders at the end:(
