The story on this card
This card recaps Game 1 of the 1967 World Series, played October 4 at Fenway Park between the Cardinals and Red Sox. Lou Brock led off the third with a single, moved around on a double and a groundout, and singled again to lead off the seventh, his fourth hit of the day, then stole second and scored on back-to-back groundouts. Bob Gibson struck out ten while Jose Santiago homered for Boston's lone run, and the Cardinals held on for a 2-1 win to open the Series they would go on to win in seven games. The card is part of the 1968 Topps World Series subset picturing Lou Brock and the Cardinals.
