In 1967 the Boston Red Sox made it to the World Series for the first time since 1946. Their ace pitcher was Jim Lonberg . He won two games for the Red Sox over the St. Louis Cardinals in the early part of the series and was brought back on only two days rest to try to win Game 7. This time the Cardinal batters got to him and the Red Sox had to wait 37 more years to win a World Series.
This year’s Lonberg is Corey Kluber of the Cleveland Indians. He is coming back on short rest tonight to try to win his third game of this World Series. Will his fate be that of Lonberg giving the Chicago Cubs their first World Series win since 1908? Stay tuned.
