1967: History Was There For The Taking

April 14, 1967

The road season began on April 14 with a trip to Yankee Stadium to face the New York Yankees. Bill Rohr would make his first Major League start against the boys in pinstripes and boy would it be memorable.

The crowd of 14,375 nearly witnessed history when Rohr entered the ninth inning with a no-hitter. With two outs catcher Elston Howard, who ironically would finish the season as Boston's catcher after being the backstop in New York for 12 years hit a single to right field to end the rookies no hit bid.

Boston would win the game 3-0. Joe Foy and Reggie Smith homered for Boston.
