The 1967 major league baseball season began on April 10, 1967. The regular season ended on October 1, with the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox as the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the 64th World Series on October 4 and ended with Game 7 on October 12. In the second iteration of this World Series matchup, the Cardinals defeated the Red Sox, four games to three, capturing their eighth championship in franchise history, since their previous in {{mlby|1964}}. Going into the season, the defending World Series champions were the Baltimore Orioles from the {{mlby|1966}} season.

The 38th Major League Baseball All-Star Game, was held on July 11 at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California, home of California Angels. The National League won, 2–1.

It was the final season for the Kansas City Athletics, before relocating to Oakland, California and becoming the Oakland Athletics for the {{mlby|1968}} season.

The season was filled with historic seasons from multiple players. Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox had tied for the most home runs in MLB with Harmon Killebrew, giving him the elusive triple crown. He led the American League in batting average (.326), home runs due to the tie with Killebrew (44) and runs batted in (121) (This feat would not be accomplished again until Miguel Cabrera earned the triple crown in {{mlby|2012}} with the Detroit Tigers).{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/miguel-cabrera-becomes-1st-triple-crown-winner-in-45-years-buster-posey-wins-nl-batting-title/2012/10/03/caeb93ee-0dcb-11e2-ba6c-07bd866eb71a_story.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181224121930/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/miguel-cabrera-becomes-1st-triple-crown-winner-in-45-years-buster-posey-wins-nl-batting-title/2012/10/03/caeb93ee-0dcb-11e2-ba6c-07bd866eb71a_story.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 24, 2018|title=Miguel Cabrera becomes 1st Triple Crown winner in 45 years; Buster Posey wins NL batting title|date=October 4, 2012|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=October 4, 2012}} Yastrzemski also won the AL MVP and led the Red Sox to the AL pennant for the first time in two decades. They would ultimately lose to the St. Louis Cardinals 7–2 in Game 7 of the World Series.{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cepedor01.shtml|title=Orlando Cepeda Stats}}

The Cardinals had standout players as well, with first baseman Orlando Cepeda becoming the first unanimously voted NL MVP. Cepeda finished the season with 25 home runs, 111 RBIs and a .325 batting average. He did however, struggle in the World Series, hitting only .103 with one RBI.{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-almanac.com/yearly/yr1967a.shtml|title = Baseball History in 1967 American League by Baseball Almanac}}
