California ANGELS at Boston RED SOX 8/19/67 Original NBC Broadcast (Kinescope) 

I was there. First base grandstands. Me, my brother, my dad and my uncle Joe.

I met Tony C. during spring training in 1971 (Holtville, Ca. / Angels). Just me and him in the locker room. So easy in the early 70's to walk up & see your favorite players.

The halos on the caps and helmets of the Angels were quite creative.

This game was played only 1 day after the Tony Conigliaro tragedy with Jack Hamilton. May they both Rest In Peace.

Angels with the halo cap nice looking

I enjoyed how Curt Gowdy mentioned Babe Ruth as once being a great Red Sox pitcher who eventually became a great Yankees hitter. With all the great hitters that followed Ruth I find most amazing how he was a great pitcher as well as a great hitter.

Tragically, the day before on August 18,1967, Tony Conigliaro was horribly beaned by Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton. Sadly, Conigliaro was never the same. Tony Conigliaro is very beloved by Boston Red Sox fans! R.I.P. ANTHONY RICHARD "TONY" CONIGLIARO.

Our daycamp met Tony C at a bowling alley in Scarborough, Maine in 1966.

I love the old "halo hats". So distinctive.

Notice the batting helmet flap worn by Mike Andrews...this was in response to what had happened just the night before to Tony Conigliaro when he was struck by a fastball from Angels pitcher, Jack Hamilton, and was nearly killed...before the Tony C beaning, helmet flaps were almost never worn...but that accident changed baseball forever.....and has saved thousands of ball players from serious injury over the decades...RIP Tony C

This was Koufax first year on The Game of the Week. I'm sure they eased him in, one of the reasons why he was so quiet. Gowdy had to almost introduce him to get him to say anything. I wonder what the NBC execs were saying? Back then, they didn't have analyst per say. They would interject only when something pertinent was going on. One of the reasons why Tony Kuebek was so good was he was a natural and lived to talk baseball. He and Gowdy were so good together. In fact Kuebek was just as good with Garigarola and Costas. A rarity. This was basically the format we came to know as the 70's came around and the "Color" commentator was just as important as the PBP guys! I can't imagine sports on TV without Curt Gowdy. He was everywhere and ' to never have off. - Gowdy didn't. Gowdy was in my home more than my mom.

First baseball game I ever attended. Wonderful, exciting display of hitting. Final score was 12-11 Sox. I remember that the night before I was at my Uncle Frank’s home listening to the Sox-Angels game on the radio when Conigliaro was accidentally hit in the eye by Jack Hamilton. Ugh.

Incredible find!! Thank you so much for posting this!

My favorite Red Sox team of all time...

Remember the Angels 'halo' caps/helmets. This game was the day before I turned 8 years old. My cousin mentioned the Tony C. beaning. Too bad; had a great 1965 season.

At 20:50 Sparky Lyle comes in to pitch, his rookie season. They call him Al "Sparky" Lyle. I read his book The Bronx Zoo about the '78 Yankees, that book is wildly entertaining.

Wowwww...a young Al “Sparky” Lyle...years before he became an ace reliever for the Yankees and Cy Young award winner...and no mustache at that

This is great. Now everyone in the world not banned from Facebook can see Pete Cimino pitch!

I was at this game! The 12-11 game played the Saturday after Tony C getting beaned. Our entire Brockton South LL went!

Thank you for your work!!

Remember watching as a youngster. The game was memorable as it ended 12-11; I had no idea then that a baseball game could be so high scoring.

This game was the game after Tony C.got beaned.

Thankyouforposting1967myfristworldseries

Wish we would go back to the "behind home plate" view for television.

What an appropriate ending for this abbreviated video -- a base hit by Carl Yastrzemski.

this was the day after Conigliaro was hit in the face. great footage.. thanks for posting.

"The Impossible Dream"

I was there that day. Nearly caught a foul by George scott

Curt Gowdy, Pee Wee Reese and Sandy Koufax.

The day after the Tony Conigliaro beaning..... Red. Sox won 12-11

The great race in 1967 Tigers Twins White Sox and the AL Champion 🏆 Red Sox the race was starting to get good now in late August

This has got to be the series where Tony C. got hit.

What year did they change the camera to center field?

Umpires HP Bill Kinnamon 1B Larry Napp (Crew Chief) 2B Frank Umont 3B Bill Valentine

So different from today's broadcasters who feel they have to chime in after every pitch.

Curt Gowdy (PBP) & Pee Wee Reese (C) 1-4/7-9 Reese (PBP) & Gowdy (C) 5-6

didn't look his best here but Sparky Lyle went on to have an excellent career as a top reliever in the league, but not with Sox

And on radio, Gowdy’s eventual replacement (except for baseball) Dick Enberg.

This was the day after Tony Conigliaro was hit in the eye with a pitch by Jack Hamilton, ruining Conigliaro's career.

The day after Tony C. was hit and 3 days after I was born

1st to comment. Thanks for Posting

Elston Howard didn’t look right in Red Sox uniform

Tony wrote in a 1970 book that manager Dick Williams never visited him at the hospital, called on the phone or sent a letter. ⚾️

Why are all the California players wearing yamakas?

I hated the name the "California" Angels! They represented the whole state? How could Major League Baseball allow that?
