Yaz still recovering

Best wishes to Yaz and thanks for many great memories. I followed your entire career and still as of today, nobody ever played LF better than you.

Yaz is man of conviction, and a team player. He played for the Red Sox, and never sold out... like some past players. I will pray for his well being, and hope he fully recuperates!

He was a hero to a whole generation. Who can't forget how all New England rallied around the Sox in `67', with Yaz, Rico, Reggie Smith and Lonborg as the stars. Yaz was old school, and nobody played left field like he did. Although his stats suggest otherwise, he was an all-star and in the late 60's was regularly near the top of the batting averages, winning the triple crown in 1967 and a batting title in 1968, and then missing by hundreths of percentage points, another batting title in 1970. When later he transitioned to First base, he made it look easy. I hope he makes a full and complete recovery.

BEST WISHES YAZ YOU ARE ONE OF THE ALL TIME RED SOX GREATS. THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES. GET WELL SOON AND ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!

Aside from perhaps Larry Bird, Yaz remains the best example of what a man can become if he really applies himself. Fewer athletes have ever gotten more out of themselves than these two Boston sports icons, and nobody ever played that wall, or hit in the clutch, better than Carl Michael Yastrzemski.

Here's to a super speedy recovery, Yaz. Hope to see you out at the ballpark, real soon.
