What kid in New England didn’t try that weird batting stance in Little League before your coach told you to knock it off.

For those of you old enough to remember 67’

Same here. Some of my fondest memories are of my Grandad taking me to Fenway Park as a kid.

Prayers for Yaz bump. Fond memories of him chasing number 3,000.

When ever I mention Yaz, my wife always says, “WHo???”

She is from Philly, what do you expect!

Whenever he pulled on the uniform you knew you were going to see an athlete give 100%.

I was actually really bummed as a kid when I saw him smoking in the dugout.

He was my sports hero growing up.

My prayers go out for his quick and full recovery.

I once read an article about Yaz’s enjoyment of fishing. Ted Williams invited him to go fishing with him. Yaz showed up with a cooler of beer. Williams asked him what was in the cooler. Yaz had some beer in there. Williams told him he can’t bring that on his boat. Yaz grabbed his cooler and left. I can imagine if Yaz lit up, Williams would of thrown him overboard.

I sent this thread to a Boston buddy, His reply:

"Ask your freepers if anyone remembers "YAZ" bread, that is the only thing I would my PPJ with!"

Sadly "YAZ" bread is long gone, and I don't think Carl has a piece of the contraceptive that bears his name.

Yaz was quite a player and a great sportsman. Here's hoping he has many years more.
