A life-long Boston Red Sox, "Yaz" was the first American League player to hit 400 home runs and 3,000 hits. In the Red Sox' 1967 "Impossible Dream" season, he won the American League Triple Crown and was named the A.L.'s Most Valuable Player. At the time of his retirement, Yastrzemski was the all-time American League leader in games played (3,308) and finished with 3,419 hits and 452 homers respectively, to go along with 1,844 RBI). A seven-time Gold Glove winner, Yaz earned the honor of 18 All-Star Game appearances and was the MVP of the 1970 game. He won seven Gold Gloves and is generally considered one of the finest defensive left fielders of all-time. Yastrzemski officially retired after the 1983 season, taking his memorable final lap around Fenway Park. Elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1989, the same year his number 8 was retired by the Red Sox. Yastrzemski is now a roving instructor with the Red Sox.
