The 1966 Red Sox went 72–90 and finished ninth in the American League. It was a transition year that set the stage for the 1967 “Impossible Dream” season. Carl Yastrzemski and Tony Conigliaro provided the main power, while rookie George Scott impressed with solid defense and 27 home runs. Pitching was inconsistent despite flashes from Jim Lonborg and Jose Santiago. Manager Billy Herman was dismissed late in the year, and interim manager Eddie Popowski closed out a rebuilding season.
Offered is a gorgeous (like right out of the box) Official American League (Joe Cronin) baseball with 24 signatures that we’d rate a 9 out of 10.Doesn’t get any nicer than this one!
