1967
WORLD SERIES

 

     Now for the first time ever, a big 1 hour, 46-minute DVD is available containing all the highlights of every game of the 1967 World Series, plus a half hour of live TV broadcast footage of the 1967 Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, as well as a half hour of TV coverage of the 1968 Cardinals Winter Caravan with broadcaster Harry Caray! Actual full-COLOR game-action highlights of all of the big plays of all 7 games of this memorable World Series are included! You may have seen some footage of this series on VHS or TV highlight shows in the past, but with poor, reddish color. Now, with the help of the most modern electronic equipment, you can watch the series unfold in beautiful, natural color! Every scene in the film (numbering in the hundreds) has been individually color corrected digitally to bring back the beauty and picture sharpness of the original color print! You’ll see great shots of Fenway Park as it looked 40 years ago, as well as brand new Busch Memorial Stadium decked out in colorful World Series bunting! Watch as Jim Lonborg, Carl Yastrzemski, Rico Petrocelli, George Scott, Elston Howard, Reggie Smith and Jose Santiago of the Red Sox battle Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Curt Flood, Roger Maris, Tim McCarver, Mike Shannon, Julian Javier, Steve Carlton and Orlando Cepeda of the Cardinals!

     Following the 1967 World Series, you’ll see the oldest existing actual TV broadcast footage of the Boston Red Sox! Shown is a 29-minute B & W partial telecast of the Red Sox vs California Angels game of August 19, 1967 (Jose Santiago vs Rick Clark) as seen on NBC’s Saturday afternoon TV Baseball “Game-Of-The-Week” with Curt Gowdy, Pee Wee Reese and the recently retired Sandy Koufax doing the play-by-play! As a bonus, we have also added over half an hour of live TV broadcast footage of the 1968 Cardinals Winter Caravan stop at Ft. Smith, Arkansas with Harry Caray as MC of the luncheon! You’ll hear from manager Red Schoendienst, Stan Musial and players Joe Hoerner, Ron Willis, Larry Jaster and Phil Gagliano!

Game 1 at Fenway Park: Bob Gibson vs Jose Santiago – Gibson’s 6-hitter and the aggressive base running of speedster Lou Brock are the difference in a close 2-1 St. Louis victory. Roger Maris drives in both runs for the Redbirds, Brock scoring twice. Home run: Santiago.

Game 2 at Fenway Park: Jim Lonborg vs Dick Hughes – Red Sox ace Jim Lonborg completely dominates the Cardinals, tossing a 1-hitter on his way to a 5-0 victory! A.L. Triple Crown winner Carl Yastrzemski smashes 2 HR’s!

Game 3 at Busch Stadium: Nelson Briles vs Gary Bell – Briles tosses a 7-hit 5-2 complete game victory, as the Cardinal offensive pressure resumes in game 3. Brock, Flood and Maris are the hitting stars of the game. Home runs: Mike Shannon and Reggie Smith.

Game 4 at Busch Stadium: Bob Gibson vs Jose Santiago – This time, Gibson is even better than in the first game, as he gives up only 5 hits in a 6-0 St. Louis win. The Cardinals score 4 in the first inning and two in the third, as Roger Maris continues to be the RBI leader of the series.

Game 5 at Busch Stadium: Jim Lonborg vs Steve Carlton – Lonborg again holds the Cardinal bats in check, pitching a 3-hit, 3-1 complete game victory. Maris wrecks Lonborg’s shutout in the 9th with a home run.

Game 6 at Fenway Park: Gary Waslewski vs Dick Hughes – Back in Boston the Red Sox explode with four homers, including two by Rico Petrocelli, and defeat St. Louis 8-4. Other HR’s are by Yastrzemski, Reggie Smith and Brock.

Game 7 at Fenway Park: Bob Gibson vs Jim Lonborg – In this classic 7th game matchup of the two top pitchers of the year Gibson is stronger, as the Cardinals score all 7 runs in four innings off a tired Lonborg, who is pitching with only 2 days rest. Gibby tosses three-hitter and belts HR to boot, as the Cardinals become World Champions! His 3 complete-game victories tie a record! Maris is tops with 7 RBI and hits .385, while Brock leads all batters with .414! Until this final game Lonborg has been brilliant, with two complete game wins in the series. Yaz bats .400 with 5 RBI and hits 3 HR’s for the Red Sox.
