“DIARY OF A WINNER”

MUNICIPAL STADIUM, KANSAS CITY

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

June 29, 1967 ... No game scheduled ... Rico Petrocelli was still nursing his sore wrist, allowing Jerry Adair to remain at shortstop. Adair had four hits in the Minnesota series.

Carl Yastrzemski, still battling the flu bug, had a hit in each game, but said he feels tired.  Yaz has reached base in the last 54 games in which he has had a chance to bat.  Yaz has played in 68 games and reached base in 66 of them.
