From Publishers Weekly
J. P. Marquand once wrote thatthe chief characteristic of the New England WASP was "the sadness of predestined failure," and nowhere is that characteristic more apparent than in diehard Red Sox fans. Here the team's chief broadcaster is joined by freelancer Valenti in covering yet another year in which the Boston team almost became world champions, this time losing the seventh game of the World Series. The authors follow the team's progress from spring training, under their new and authoritarian manager Dick Williams, through Carl Yastrzemski's amazing stretch performance to the last out of the last game, presenting their own views and those of many players on that Impossible Dream team. There are also excerpts from a diary kept by coach Bobby Doerr. Bosox fans will love it. Photos.

From Library Journal
One of the greatest underdogs in baseball history, the 1967 Boston Red Sox defied odds of 100 to 1 against them to win the American League pennant. Paced by the marvelous all around play of Carl Yastrzemski, the pitching of Jim Lonborg, and the fiery play of the ill-fated Tony Conigliaro, who was almost killed by a beanball, Boston's surge to the top of the league was a memorable one. Red Sox radio announcer Coleman and writer Valenti have re-created an almost tediously detailed diary of that fabulous year. The all-too-familiar finaleBoston's losing the World Serieshardly diminishes the story. Because of the immense popularity of the Red Sox in New England, libraries in that area should definitely purchase. Samuel Simons, Memorial Hall Lib., Andover, Mass.
