1967 Episode 17 - The Impossible Dream Boston Red Sox (Who Lose the World Series to the Cardinals)

Just in time for the playoffs! The underdog of underdog teams grabs the It Happened One Year spotlight this week, as the 1967 Boston Red Sox come out of nowhere to make their first World Series in 21 years, garnering the "Impossible Dream" nickname and potentially saving the franchise! Sarah & Joe get deep into Red Sox Nation and that '67 run - how Joe became a Red Sox fan, how the franchise and the fan base has changed since 2004, Carl Yastrzemski's Triple Crown season, the tragedy of Tony Conigliaro, the greatness of Bob Gibson, the surprise appearance of Roger Maris, and another game seven defeat in the 86-year losing drought. Along the way, some discussion of Aaron Judge's home run "record" chase, feelings about the steroid era's continuing debates, and very half-assed predictions for this year's champion ensue! Get your peanuts and Cracker Jack, folks!
