MLB Network Presents The Impossible Dream Red Sox Nation Begins
This is a very well done 2017 tribute to the 1967 Red Sox on the 50th anniversary of them winning the American League pennant at 100-1 odds.
Most Valuable Player Carl Yastrzemski, Cy Young Award winner Jim Lonborg, homer hitting heartthrobTony Conigliaro, Rico Petrocelli, Reggie Smith, manager Dick Williams ... they're all here in this hour-long look back at the team that thrilled a region and a nation as it brought baseball back in Boston.
I had no idea Ron Darling was a Red Sox fan until watching this; his great stories are some of the many here that perfectly capture the love between the fans and the team as it battled in the torrid AL race. And yes kids, it's true. What they did was so captivating, not one person who experienced it was really crushed that they lost the World Series.
I've posted three Impossible Dream tributes (WHDH, November 1967; NESN, The Sports Museum 2007), and they're all excellent. They each have different talking heads, and video clips, which is why I wanted them all up.
