 | Robbo59 (13) 11/13/2005 | Yaz was nearly impossible to throw a fastball ball at any time in his career and absolutely owned Nolan Ryan. Played the "Green Monster" like no one else and practically won the 1967 pennent single-handed. Had it not been for a series of chronic injuries (back,wrist, etc.) his career numbers could have been even greater. Tremendous power despite average stature, his 518 foot homerun (pre-steroids and juiced ball era) still stands as the longest ever hit at Anaheim (now Angel) Stadium. The pro's pro. They don't make them like this any more.

 | Rosco8484 (0) 07/25/2004 | Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Redsox (1961 - 1983) succeeded Ted Williams in Fenway's left field in 1961 and retired 23 years later as the Redsoxs all-time leader in eight categories. Played with graceful intensity in 3,308 games A.L. record, only A.L. player with 3,000 hits and 400 homers. 3-Time Batting Champion. Won MVP and Triple Crown in 1967 as he led the Red Sox to impossible dream pennant.

A quiet superstar. Almost unheard of today.
