Dan Shaughnessy has a senior moment

In his lecture to the damn kids on his lawn today about how they don't realize how good they have it, CHB writes:
One of the reasons we immortalize the 1967 Red Sox is because they brought playoff games to Fenway Park for the first time in 19 autumns.
No, that's not one of the reasons we immortalize the 1967 Red Sox, because Major League Baseball didn't institute regular playoffs until 1969.

World Series games are "playoff games"

I'm not a big CHB fan, but I think you're nitpicking here. Also, the 1948 tiebreaker that the Sox lost to the Indians could be considered a playoff game. That's where Dan got the 19 years from.
Agreed

I hate Shaugnessey, but this is overdoing it.

"It didn't seem to make sense to hand out hats and shirts that say, "We're in!" so the Sox settled for beer and bubbly. Many wore goggles in the clubhouse celebration."
Dope. Many was traded to the Dodgers.

Yes, joking :-)

He was my favorite. I loved Many being Many.
