RED SOX SERIES/DAY 2
Main: The runup to 67 wasn't pretty as the Sox were mired in a post-Ted Williams funk. The "country club" closed down when Dick Williams was hired right after the 1966 season.
Sidebar: African-American players on the team. The Sox's racial history wasn't pretty before the late 60s, but the 67 team leaned heavily on its players of color - a tribute to GM Dick O'Connell.
