The summer of 1967 turned out to be one of the most exciting and improbable seasons in the history of baseball. Dubbed "The Impossible Dream," the Red Sox, listed as 100-1 odds to win the pennant before the start of the season, defied the odds and their critics, emerging victorious from an incredibly intense four-team race on the last day of the regular season. Former Red Sox All-Star shortstop Rico Petrocelli, a major force on the '67 team, now gives long-time fans an opportunity to relive that magical, unforgettable season, and younger fans a chance to learn about the year that reversed the fortunes of a dying franchise and served as the catalyst to transform the Red Sox into one of the best and most popular organizations in professional sports today.Petrocelli, Rico is the author of 'Rico Petrocelli's Tales from the Impossible Dream Red Sox ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781596701915 and ISBN 1596701919.
