My brother, my hero, was big Yaz man. we would look at the box scores every morning looking to see how the Red Sox did the day before. Especially Yaz stat. It was a special time not only for Yaz, but my brother and I as well. Thank you Carl...and to The Red Sox's for all those great years.

YAZ! "Captain Carl" I grew up watching Yastrzemski play 'as a youngster into my adulthood' lol... Yaz played for Ever!! & I have some awesome memories of those days. Thank you Yaz. 👍🙏⚾✝️🇺🇲

Whats crazy is from the early 40s to the early 80s LF in Fenway had 2 men in it (for the most part) Ted Williams and Yaz..Those were huge shoes to fill but Yaz held his own 18x All-Star, League MVP, Triple Crown winner, 7 time Gold Glove winner, 3 Batting Titles, Player of The Year award AS game MVP and walked into the HOF...what makes it even better is the guy is from NY⚾😆

A good solid player, and i'm glad I saw him play!

Very good! Always been a Yaz fan and also a Red Sox fan but most importantly I was always a baseball fan. Greatest sport in the world and one of the greatest players of all time was Yaz. Nothing but hustle and that's what how baseball is won.

The ultimate blue collar player for the Red Sox. 👍

Love saying his name now that I know how to. I'm trying to find ways to weave Carl Yastrzemski into my conversations now. Grew up in NY but famous for being the Derek Jeter of the Red Sox. What a legend that Carl Yastrzemski

I have always been a huge Yaz fan. I followed the RedSox every day of 1967 and Yaz’ awesome season. It has always bothered me that his career BA was only .285, 40-60 points below other great hitters and even as much as 73-82 points below Hornsby and Cobb.

David ortiz is the greatest living Red Sox, he delivered 3 titles for Boston

Couldn't someone have edited out the twenty seconds of blank air from the commercials? Otherwise these are awesome videos.

Para mí uno de los mejores jardineros del béisbol.

[carlapozo]

Para alante los Boston para cuando llegue los juegos

Yaz broke Jimmy Brown's BB scoring avg. record at his high school.

The Man whose batting swing I completely COPIED!! The extra bat movement gives yours with more powers, move “”forward then back real hard…. THEN swing”

[carseye]

Couldn't the modern Red Sox wear the red/white/blue stirrups just once as a "throwback"? I'm from Cleveland but, as a kid, I was a pseudo-Sox fan because I thought the socks were cool. They survived from Babe Ruth through Yaz. The all-red socks and the pants down to the shoes don't make it for me. Just ONE GAME...

[markhousman]

Imagine if YAZ had taken that offer to play for the Yankees - he would have won at least four World Series and probably hit 500 home runs (shorter right field in the Bronx) - that is if Mantle and crew didn't turn him into a raging alcoholic...
