This is a must for all old school baseball people...I am a Twins fan but the game on the second disc was worth double the price..The broadcasting was just baseball no radar guns/ no contract talks/no stupid gimmicks/just balls and strikes and a Killebrew Homerun..Though the twins lost the game with Yaz also hitting a homerun and an interesting view of a Young Ted Kennedy and Vice-President Humphrey before the game....I love it...
great trip down memory laneSep 14, 2009
Great purchase for Red Sox fans. The bonus disc with the game against the Twins was a lot of fun.

Only 45 minutes, but good if you love the '67 Sox. Different then the album "The Impossible Dream". Was hoping for more.
THE YEAR in Red Sox History....Apr 07, 2009
Altough the Red Sox have won the World Series TWICE this century,the Impossible Dream season of 1967 remains as one of the MOST cherished and memorable years in the history of the Boston red Sox.Unfortunately for me as a besotted Yastrzemski worshipper and fan,I was too young to actually LIVE this wonderful season but have read a good deal on this subject and the "Cardiac Kids". This is an EXCELLENT documenary of the players,season and excitement created througout New England(and elsewhere!!!) during the "Summer Of Love". My ONLY complaint(which is echoed by others in their reviews here)is that I had hoped and expected that the "Bonus" DVD would have been of the Pennant clinching Oct.1st Sunday game as opposed to the Saturday Sept.30th game - I do believe that IT WAS a "nationally televised" game so I find it hard to believe that it doesn't exist in some form(If ANYONE can answer this,it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!) I do think this is a MUST DVD for ANY RED SOX FAN(Past,Present AND FUTURE ;) !!!!)

This is one terrific DVD.
If you are a baby boomer from the New England area, or you are just BoSox-curious, you will love this 2-DVD set.
Disc 01 features a tremendous 40th anniversary recap of the 1967 season, which appeared last year on the New England Sports Network (NESN).
Bonus material on Disc 01 features the original "Impossible Dream" show that appeared (in B&W) on Boston's WHDH-TV, after the 1967 season had finished. Also included are three segments from the 1967 World Series highlight film, specifically the three wins posted by the Sox.
Arguably, Disc 02 is even more interesting than Disc 01.
It's a near-complete copy, of the local broadcast, of the next to last game of the 1967 regular season. The Red Sox hosted the Minnesota Twins in Fenway, needing a win to stay in the race. The makers of the DVD claim the copy of this game represents the oldest complete-game broadcast available, of any baseball game, that had been telecast in color. Jose Santiago started for the Red Sox, while Jim Kaat pitched for the Twins. Early in the contest, Kaat exited the game with an injury, giving way to Jim Perry, brother of Hall-of-Famer Gaylord Perry. The Sox came from behind, hung on, and won, behind homers by Carl Yastrzemski and George Scott. Boston went on to take the final game of the season the next day, clinching the flag, behind a complete game effort by Jim Lonborg.
Just plain great stuff ... get it.
