Brief Biography

Born to Polish immigrant parents on Long Island, New York in 1939, Yastrzemski took over for baseball legend Ted Williams on the Red Sox in 1961. While his first six seasons on the Sox were good ones, he would become a major star in 1967, when he won baseball's rare and coveted Triple Crown, by leading the league in home runs (44), RBIs (121), and Batting Average (.326). He also led the Red Sox to the World Series that year, as well as in 1975, although the Sox would lose both series in seven games. "Yaz" retired in 1983 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989. He is second on the all-time list of games played, and holds the Red Sox records for career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and, of course, games played.
