Best FIELDING left fielder of all time. An outstanding hitter in a VERY tough decade for hitters. A Triple Crown winner (baseball's last, to date), an MVP, three batting titles (and fractions away from a fourth), 7 Gold Gloves, even had 20 stolen bases one season. A twenty-plus year career with the same team. (Even late in his career, he moved back to left field after spending a few seasons at 1B and as a DH, and he did not make a single error while leading the league in assists-- 1977).

The last guy to win a batting triple crown, and probably the finest defensive left-fielder in Red Sox history, he's probably only a four star selection, but I'm adding the fifth because of those three weeks in September '67, when he had an entire career in 21 days, picking up the Sox and willing them to the pennant in the greatest pennant race in modern American League history.

Great player, especially in '67 and '70, very, very good defensive left fielder, no one has ever played left at Fenway so well. He could run quite well when he was younger, too. Although he was effective as late as '79, when he was 40, I do think that after that year he was hurting the team and blocking the process of some of their minor leaguers. Should've retired after '79, but a fine HOF worthy player. Won 3 batting titles.

I loved Yaz. He was one of favorite players growing-up, despite being a Yankee Fan. I just think he's a little overrated because he hung on so long and had great counting stats. That being said, nobody did more for the cause then Yaz did in 1967. He might have had the Most Valuable season in history.

Yaz should be in the top 3 behand Musial and Williams. He was a great fielder and hitter. He was the heart and soul of the Red Sox. Could do it all and was durable!
