On September 6, 1967, in the midst of a pressure-filled six-week
pennant race, the Red Sox, Tigers, Twins and White Sox stood
together atop the American League. Never before or since have four
teams tied for the lead in baseball's final month. On three
subsequent occasions including the season's final day, three of
them tied again. In 1967 the stakes were high because there were no
playoffs. The pennant winner went directly to the World Series. The
size, consistent tightness and duration of this pennant race make
it unique. Here, for the first time, all four teams and their
players are treated equally. The teams provide wonderful contrasts
with substantial differences in skill sets, leadership and
temperament. Overt psychological and physical intimidation played a
major role throughout the season. The standings were volatile, and
so were emotions. The stress of competing against so many other
teams for so long was constant. Its effects on players, managers
and teams were visibly corrosive in some cases and galvanizing in
others. Tragically, some wilted or broke. Others responded
heroically.
