Dick Williams Did the Impossible
November 2007
A rookie ML manager named Dick Williams reported to Spring Training in 1967, immediately developed a no-nonsense approach and turned a last-place team from the previous season into the AL champions. In fact, it remains one of the greatest turnarounds in Major League Baseball history. Williams’ 1967 club is regarded as the most improbable Red Sox playoff team in the history of the club. After winning just seventy games the year before, Williams predicted they would win more than they had lost.
