1967 Major League Baseball season

The Cardinals defeated the Red Sox, four games to three, capturing their eighth championship in franchise history, since their previous in 1964.

Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox had tied for the most home runs in MLB with Harmon Killebrew, giving him the elusive triple crown.

He led the American League in batting average (.326), home runs due to the tie with Killebrew (44) and runs batted in (121) (This feat would not be accomplished again until Miguel Cabrera earned the triple crown in 2012 with the Detroit Tigers).

The final day of the regular season was on October 1, which saw all 20 teams play, continuing the trend from 1965.
