The 1967 American League Pennant Race
McFarland & Co Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4766-7296-0 (ISBN)
Here, for the first time, all four teams are treated as equals. The author describes their contrasting skill sets, leadership and temperament. The stress of such stiff and sustained competition was constant, and there were overt psychological and physical intimidations playing a major role throughout the season. The standings were volatile and so were emotions. The players and managers varied: some wilted or broke, others responded heroically.
A lifelong sports fan, Cameron Bright lives in Freeport, Maine.
