by Steve Tripoli
BOSTON, Mass. - September 28, 2007 - With the Minnesota Twins in town to close out this baseball season, it evokes some powerful memories for long-time Boston fans: the 1967 "Impossible Dream" season.On the last day of that season 40 years ago, the Red Sox clinched the American League pennant with a victory over the Twins at Fenway Park. Tonight, Boston could claim a division title with another win over a Minnesota team on the same field.Reporter Steve Tripoli recalled "The Impossible Dream Team" on the 30th anniversary of their landmark season. This morning, on the 40th, we revisit the moments.

Click on this audio, it is awesome! If there's a problem with the link, then click on the story title and follow from there. There's audio from the games and comments by Yaz. They also play the "Carl Yastrzemski Song"! LOL In the season finale of "Rescue Me" Denis Leary and Charles Durning discussed the song. In response to Leary saying the song stunk, Durning quipped that Yaz's mother probably wrote it.
