The 1967 Boston Red Sox season, often referred to as The Impossible Dream, consisted of the team's first winning season since 1958, as the Red Sox shocked all of New England and the rest of the baseball world by winning the American League Championship (also called the AL Pennant) and reaching the World Series for the first time since 1946. The season had one of the most memorable finishes in baseball history, as the AL pennant race went to the very last game, with Boston (92–70) beating out the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins by one game.

“this planned
Babel of Boston where our money talks”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“When I was bound apprentice, in famous Lincolnshire,
Full well I served my master for more than seven year,
Till I took up poaching, as you shall quickly hear:
Oh, ‘tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.”
—Unknown. The Lincolnshire Poacher (l. 1–4)
