Carl Yastrzemski, the Red Sox great who was the last player to win baseball's Triple Crown before Miguel Cabrera did it Wednesday, issued a congratulatory message via the Major League Baseball public relations department.

“I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Miguel Cabrera on winning the Triple Crown. I am glad that he accomplished this while leading his team to the American League Central title. I was fortunate enough to win this award in 1967 as part of the Red Sox Impossible Dream Team. I am sure Frank Robinson joins me in commending Miguel in reaching this significant milestone in his career," Yastrzemski wrote.

Cabrera, the Tigers' third baseman, finished with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 runs batted in to lead the American League in all three categories.

Yastrzemski batted .326 with 44 home runs and 121 RBIs in 1967.
