“DIARY OF A WINNER”

THE CURSE OF THE BAMBINO, PART 6 ...
 "THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM"

August 7, 1967 ... No game scheduled ... Jim Lonborg (15-5), on army reserve duty in Atlanta, wired Dick Williams that he will be available for his next start in Kansas City.

Commonwealth Stadium Associates proposed the Dedham-Needham area as a site for a new 55,000 seat domed stadium, with winter dog racing to take place indoors.  The state would build some $2 million worth of highway from the I-95 extension to Providence. The city would build an MBTA rapid transit station. Mayor Collins favors a proposal to build a stadium in South Station.
