BOSTON -- It has been 50 years since the Red Sox captivated their city with the "Impossible Dream" season. But the memories haven't faded away. In fact, they seem to get richer through time.
Seventeen members of the 1967 Sox -- led by Triple Crown winner Carl Yastrzemski and American League Cy Young Award winner Jim Lonborg -- were celebrated in an on-field ceremony prior to Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Reggie Smith, Rico Petrocelli, Ken "Hawk" Harrelson and Mike Andrews were among the other players who came back for a sweet stroll down memory lane.
"Old stories have come up and old memories have come up, and it's just great to be able to have a chance to see all of these guys," said Lonborg.
