In the Red Sox's 1967 "Impossible Dream" season, the team overcame enormous odds to make it to the World Series, but couldn't quite cross the finish line as they were defeated by the Cardinals in seven games. Bob Gibson's masterful pitching in the series earned him his second World Series MVP award in four years (1964). The 1967 Cardinal's team featured a number of all-time great players including four future Hall of Famers. Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961 to eclipse Babe Ruth's single-season record (Maris retained the American League record for home runs until Aaron Judge hit 62 home runs in 2022). Curt Flood is another important figure in the history of the game, as his refusal to be traded in 1969 paved the way for modern rules regarding free agency. In 2020, 102 members of Congress signed a petition for him to be admitted into the Hall of Fame. Item #1967CARDS001
