DVD Review: "Now Cinderella Tries on Slipper" (Globe headline on eve of Game 7)
Summary: 4 Stars
1967 forever changed baseball in Boston. It is hard to believe but there were fewer than 1000 people in attendance at some games in the early part of that decade even though unreserved grandstand seats could be had for $.75. That situation changed for the next 40 years as the 67 team went from last to first, clinching the pennant on the last day of the season in a 4 team race and building a new generation of fans who remain with the team today.
This DVD relives that year in 48 minutes. Some of the highlights (such as the fight in Yankee Stadium) are very clean. Others may not be of the same high quality but are still fun to watch. The corny Impossible Dream verse read by Ken Coleman and Don Gillis is bearable if you remember that it was written at the time and reflects the era. If you can take the Carl Yastrzemski song, you can probably deal with anything.
This is pre-steroid and free agent baseball. Players would paint houses or work other jobs in the off season to keep going. There is an innocence to the game that shows through the scenes in the DVD.
There is a bonus inclusion of the Impossible Dream television special from 1967. This gives you a look into production values and attitudes of the time in addition to the game. This is the first time I have seen the video since I first saw it at 14 years old and I still got a thrill out of it.
There is a separate DVD with the penultimate game against the Twins. This game is as exciting as the final game and is highlighted by a Yaz home run.
