The 1967 Tigers finished one game behind Boston after losing on the final day, in a summer shaped by the Detroit riot. They won the World Series in 1968.
There was no Montreal Expos team in 1967. Montreal won a National League franchise in May 1968, and the Expos first played in 1969 at Jarry Park.
The 1967 World Series came just before divisional play and league championship series arrived in 1969, ahead of the Year of the Pitcher and the lowered mound.
Game 7 of the 1967 World Series, 12 October at Fenway Park: Bob Gibson against Jim Lonborg on two days' rest, and the Cardinals' 7 to 2 win.
The St. Louis side of the 1967 World Series: Bob Gibson's three complete-game wins, Lou Brock's stolen bases, Roger Maris's hitting and manager Red Schoendienst.
The Boston side of 1967: Tony Conigliaro's beaning on 18 August, Jim Lonborg's Cy Young season, manager Dick Williams and the long-shot Impossible Dream.
