Standings and scores of the baseball wars on September 30, 1967
Jim Kaat hurts elbow in the third inning and the Red Sox go on to a 6-4 victory and tie Twins for first place with both teams at 91-70. Meanwhile the Tigers split a DH with the Angels and are half a game back with a DH scheduled for tomorrow. The Tigers won the first game by a 5-0 score and were ahead 6-2 after seven innings but the Angels came back with 6 runs in the 8th inning and held on to beat the Bengals 8-6 and claim a split. The White Sox were eliminated yesterday.

I know that I just told you how this game with the Boston Red Sox ended up but you can still enjoy this game in its entirety by watching this video of the entire game. I hope you enjoy it, it is supposedly the oldest telecast of a complete MLB game totally in color.

What a pennant race!
Make sure you follow along in our Today in Twins History.
The rest of the stories that I have done on the 1967 AL pennant race can be found here.
The memories are vague, but still painful. For that reason, I don’t want the Twins to have to play a do-or-die game in Fenway this year. I’ll take my chances at Yankee Stadium!
Do you own the program for World Series that never was? I remember, years ago, seeing something like that at the Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown, and it stopped me in my tracks…
Great to hear from you again Mariam. No I do not own the program for the World Series that never was. It was on ebay and I bid on it but it went for more than I was willing to pay. Let’s see what the Twins can do against the Yankees in this one game, I actually have a good feeling about it.
