(BASEBALL) COLEMAN, Ken and VALENTI, Dan. The Impossible Dream Remembered. The 1967 Red Sox. Lexington, Massachusetts: Stephen Greene, 1987. Quarto, original half red cloth, pictorial endpapers, original dust jacket. $1800.

First edition of this stirring tribute to the 1967 Boston Red Sox whose electrifying season variously dubbed them Destiny’s Darlings, the Cardiac Kids and the Impossible Dream Team, signed on the half title by the author and by nine Red Sox players: Darrell Brandon, Jerry Moses, Dennis Bennett, Mike Andrews (twice), Dick Williams, Dan Osinski, Rico Petricelli, Gary Bell and Gary Waslewski.

For the beleaguered Boston Red Sox, "1967 was a watershed year." Considered a team with little chance of winning a game let alone a season, "the Cardiac Kids saved Boston baseball" by winning the American League championship in what is still hailed as "the most exciting pennant race in baseball history." Authored by Ken Coleman, the "Voice of the Boston Red Sox," and journalist Dan Valenti, this exceptional association copy captures all the magic and electricity of that miraculous year. With the signatures of the author and nine players: Darrell Brandon, Jerry Moses, Dennis Bennett, Mike Andrews (twice-signed), Dick Williams, Dan Osinski, Rico Petricelli, Gary Bell and Gary Waslewski.
