January 29 - Branch Rickey and Lloyd Waner are elected to the Hall of Fame by a unanimous vote of the Special Veterans Committee.

February 16 - Red Ruffing is selected for the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America through a special runoff election, since no one received the required 75 percent vote in January.

May 14 - The New York Yankees' Mickey Mantle becomes the 6th member of the 500-home run club in New York's 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium. Mantle connects while batting left-handed off Baltimore's Stu Miller.

July 11 - At Anaheim Stadium, Tony Pérez ends the longest All-Star Game (15 innings, three hours and 41 minutes) with a home run off Catfish Hunter in a National League 2–1 victory over the American League. Solo homers by Richie Allen and the AL's Brooks Robinson account for the other runs, as Pérez is named MVP.

August 2 - With homers from both sides of the plate, Pete Rose leads the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-3 win over the Atlanta Braves. It's the second time Rose accomplished the feat.

August 18 - A tragedy occurs when the Boston Red Sox' Tony Conigliaro is beaned by the California Angels' Jack Hamilton. Hit on the left cheekbone, just below the eye socket, Conigliaro will miss the rest of 1967 and all of 1968. He was hitting .267 with 20 home runs and 67 RBIs in 95 games in 1967. Despite the loss of Tony C., The Red Sox will sweep the 4-game sesies with the Angels. The sweep will still leave the Minnesota Twins in 1st place, with Boston, the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox all within 2 games.

October 12 - In Game Seven of the World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals earn their second World Championship of the decade with a 7–2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Bob Gibson notches his third win in the Series with a three-hitter, 10 strikeouts and a fifth-inning home run. Lou Brock has two hits and three stolen bases for a record seven steals in a seven-game World Series. For the second time in four years, Gibson is honored as the Series MVP.

January 6 - Johnny Keane, 55, manager who won the 1964 World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals and joined the opposing Yankees immediately afterward
March 4 - Bullet Rogan, 77, pitcher in the Negro Leagues for the Kansas City Monarchs
July 21 - Jimmie Foxx, 59, Hall of Fame first baseman who retired with more career home runs (534) than any player except Babe Ruth; a 3-time MVP and the AL's 1933 triple crown winner, he hit .325 lifetime and played in the first nine All-Star games
August 17 - Ray Caldwell, 79, spitball pitcher for the Yankees who was later struck by lightning during a 1919 game while with the Indians; he no-hit the Yankees two weeks later
September 12 - Rollie Zeider, 83, infielder for three Chicago franchises from 1910 to 1918
