Book Synopsis



In 1967, in the midst of a nail-biting six-week pennant race, the Red Sox, Tigers, Twins and White Sox stood deadlocked atop the American League. Never before or since have four teams tied for the lead in baseball's final month. The stakes were high--there were no playoffs, the pennant winner went directly to the World Series.

Here, for the first time, all four teams are treated as equals. The author describes their contrasting skill sets, leadership and temperament. The stress of such stiff and sustained competition was constant, and there were overt psychological and physical intimidations playing a major role throughout the season. The standings were volatile and so were emotions. The players and managers varied: some wilted or broke, others responded heroically.



Review Quotes




"Excellent"-The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books; "History is often written by, or to honor, the winners. There have been a dozen books on the 1967 Impossible Dream Red Sox, the team that prevailed in that year's pennant race. Cameron Bright takes the story further and shows us just what a race it truly was, giving equal time to the four teams that battled down to the final weekend. Filled with portrayals of the players and managers involved, his book enriches our appreciation for one of the hardest-fought drives in baseball history."-Bill Nowlin, author of Tom Yawkey: Patriarch of the Boston Red Sox
