Apparently this guy worked for the Boston Globe and somehow recorded Red Sox highlights from 1966-1972.

A White Sox Lee Elia home run???

July 2, 1966:

I was stationed in South Dakota with the USAF in 1966 but a couple of buddies and me took a drive to the Twin Cities that summer for a Sox-Twins game, Twins won as they were coming off a trip to the World Series in 1965 while the Sox were a little better than a .500 team in 1966 finishing 83-79 after 3 great years winning 94, 98 and 95 games, Sox were probably trying to get used to new manager Eddie Stanky after the great run by Al Lopez.      
IIRC the BoSox lost over 100 games in 1966 but beat out our Sox in 1967 in the great 4 team pennant race of 1967. All 4 teams had a chance to win the pennant on the last weekend, most of us Sox fans remember how bad it turned out for us.
