- In 1967, left fielder Carl Yastrzemski led the Boston Red Sox the World Series after winning the Triple Crown and then the American League pennant. Red Sox team historian Gordon Edes sits down with Yaz in Part 1 of his interview of the Hall Of Famer. For more: nesn.com/boston...
In 69', I wrote him a letter about 2 pages long telling how much of a fan I was of his and asking for his autograph please....Of course the technology of the time, the speed of movement of mail, was different than today of course...About 6 months later, I got a signed autograph that came on a post card with his picture on it of him standing in the batting cage, and I still have it to this day....That 11 year old boy was walking on air for weeks after that....Such a CLASS thing to do, Thank You YAZ....
What a good man. I miss the days of my youth, watching Yaz, Lynn and Rice playing in the outfield together. Still can't believe they didn't win in 1975.
They didn't play the outfield together. Sorry.
My idol growing up. Will always remember watching the 67 Red Sox.
Yaz responded to my fan letter with an autographed picture right in the midst of my parent's marriage blowing apart. I was 10. Yaz is my fav all time baseball player. Forever thankful, Yaz!
I’m gonna bawl my eyes out when he passes
Yup me too I'm a Yaz fan.
I am not even a Red Sox fan, but I have deep appreciation for Carl. Those 1967 and 1975 teams were special.
I was fortunate enough to live in Arlington,Massachusetts in 1967 during the Red Sox run for the pennant. I was a great year for many Sox players but it was a magnificent year for Yaz. An avid baseball fan I had never before seen end of season play like Yaz’s in the last few weeks. Has anyone since matched that performance for the ages ?
The answer to that is, of course, no. Yaz's final weeks, during the pennant run of 1967, has never been matched either before, or since. On either offense or defense, whatever needed to be done to win games for the team, he did. He carried the team on his back, and dominated the Cardinals in the series. Were it not for Gibson bottling up the rest of the team, the Red Sox would have been world champions. He remains the greatest all around player in Red Sox history.
Yaz has been my all time favorite ball player. I watched him play as a kid in the 60's glued to the TV, and when the team was behind and Yaz came to the plate you always felt that he'd save the day.
Carl yastrzemski you are my all time baseball player
I remember the 6th game of the '67 series pretty well. My girlfriend and I were attending colleges in Boston and decided to skip school that day and head to Fenway Park. We walked right up to the ticket window and bought 2 Grandstand "seats" just like any other game and walked right in. Grandstand tickets didn't have assigned seats, so you could sit anywhere in the park so we sat on the steps between 1st base and home plate...great "seats", and watched the whole game. Imagine being able to do that today? They won that game but of course lost game 7 against the Cardinals. That 6th game was probably the best one of that series.
Much Love and Respect for Carl Yastremski from the Great Lakes State. I first saw Carl on August 10 1963. He just kept beating us up.
Reds fan here Yaz was without a doubt a top 10 player in the sports history. I really believe in my head Tony C going down cost them the 1967 World Series, Yaz was a 1 man wrecking crew & got no help in the series. It went 7 games & the other Red Sox hit .200 & Yaz hit .400.
Tony C Now That's A Sad Story I Read A Book On Him Some Yrs Back He Had A lot Of Bad Luck
Look what we have here .... my idol , Carl Yastrzemski 🌟🌟🌟🤩
I was at Yaz' last game, and many before that. I met him, Luis, Rico and sports attorney Bob Wolfe at a baseball card show and dinner in Hyannis, Ma.during the summer of '83. I got Yaz to autograph his 1983 season Strat-O-Matic card for me.
Yaz’s skills didn’t even decline at the end of his career. At the age of 43 he could still hit.
I ruined more white tee shirts using a red crayon to write the number 8 on the back of them...he was my hero. I met him whenI was 12 years old and it was the highlight of my life to that point.
For most of his career he was not “Mercurial” like Mantle or Mays. He was a day after day grinder who could be counted on. He was probably closest to Kaline in this regard, but he had more power.
Yep. Quiet, workmanlike. Both of them...Yaz in LF, Al in RF.
The Impossible Dream
Yaz looks like Carl Fredricksen from Up. :)))
had tony c not got beaned and the sox had tony c for the 67 series they would have neat the cards .
The worst part about Red Sox fans (and certainly the Boston sportswriters) in those days, was the indefensible blame that they put on their best players (like Williams and Yaz) for not being able to produce winning teams all by themselves. I've been a Red Sox fan for nearly fifty years, but I have no understanding of this nonsensical conundrum...
I've watched them since the days of Williams, Piersall and Jensen in left, center and right and I agree, for whatever reason the fans were just animals back then...never satisfied...probably because they were basically cellar dwellers for so many years. That all changed in '67. That said, I have never seen a Sox team as strong as this year's as they just steam rolled every team they played all the way to the World Series title.
Ok
I had a few heroes in the 60s. Yaz was one of them.
