“DIARY OF A WINNER”

BOBBY DOERR

THE CURSE OF THE BAMBINO, PART 6 ...
"THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM"

May 29, 1967 ... No game scheduled ... Bobby Doerr had George Scott at the ballpark working on hitting the ball straight up the middle. Scott has been slumping and had been trying for home runs and had turned his body toward left before swinging.

George Thomas said he is ready to play and Hank Fischer says he's hurt and can't pitch.
