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. He became a major star in 1967 when he won baseball's 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 and again in 1975, although the Sox would lose both series in seven games. Yastrzemski retired in 1983 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989. He is second on the League's all-time list of games played and holds the Red Sox records for career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases and games played.
