| Doing what they can at Big A "Workmen spread the tarp at Anaheim Stadium to protect field from elements, of which there are plenty all over Southern California today. Angels are scheduled to open against the Tigers. Forecast is RAIN." April 11, 1967 Herald-Examiner Collection; Los Angeles Public Library -- ---------------------------------------------- -- |
| Rival skippers "In pre-game confab regarding the dimensions of Anaheim Stadium are rival Managers Ralph Houk of the New York Yankees, left, and Bill Rigney of the California Angels.

| Euphoria...later, heartbreak Bobby Grich of the Angels was walking on air rounding third following his sixth-inning home run, helped over the fence by Dave Henderson, that gave California a 3-2 lead. One loss away from elimination and trailing 5–2 entering the 9th, the Red Sox stage one of the most improbable comebacks in post-season history winning 7–6 over the Angels in 11 innings. After Don Baylor's 9th-inning home run reduces the deficit to 5–4, reserve outfielder Dave Henderson slugs a 2-out, 2-run home run off Donnie Moore to give Boston a 6–5 lead. California ties the score with a run in the bottom of the 9th but Henderson, who had appeared to be the goat when he dropped Bobby Grich's long fly ball/home run, delivers a sacrifice fly in the 11th for the winning run.
