Carl Michael Yastrzemski (/jəˈstrɛmski/; nicknamed "Yaz"; born August 22, 1939) is an American former Major League Baseball player. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989. Yastrzemski played his entire 23-year baseball career with the Boston Red Sox (1961–1983). He was primarily a left fielder, but also played 33 games as a third baseman and mostly was a first baseman and designated hitter later in his career. Yastrzemski is an 18-time All-Star, the possessor of seven Gold Gloves, a member of the 3000 hit club, and the first American League player in that club to also accumulate over 400 home runs. He is second on the all-time list for games played, and third for total at-bats. He is the Red Sox' all-time leader in career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and games played, and is second on the team's list for home runs behind Ted Williams . In 1967, Yastrzemski achieved a peak in his career, leading the Red Sox to the American League pennant for the first time in over two decades, in that season being voted the American League MVP, and was the last winner of the Triple Crown for batters in the Major Leagues until Miguel Cabrera achieved the feat in 2012.

Third of three parts leading to 1989 induction into National Baseball Hall of Fame. Examines Yaz’ complex presence as a revered public figure who is, in fact, a private man. Runs 3:54. WCVB-TV, Boston.
Reds starter Don Gullett started having control problems in the third inning. After giving up an RBI single to Carl Yastrzemski, Gullett walked Carlton Fisk to load the bases. He then walked Rico Petrocelli and Dwight Evans to force in two more runs. However, that would be the only Sox scoring of the game. Bill Lee shut out the Reds through five innings, but, in the sixth with a man on, he threw a slow, lobbing pitch (his famous "Space ball" or "Leephus pitch", an Eephus pitch) to Tony Pérez. Pérez patiently waited, blasting it high over the Green Monster for a two-run home run, his third HR in three Series games. The score was then 3--2, Red Sox. The Reds tied it in the seventh when Ken Griffey walked, stole second, and scored on a two-out single by Pete Rose. In the ninth, Griffey led...
Rose scored on Joe Morgan's sacrifice fly to give the Reds a 5--1 lead. The Sox scratched back in the sixth when Reds reliever Pat Darcy issued consecutive walks to Carl Yastrzemski and Fisk, wild-pitched Fisk to third, and then gave up a sacrifice fly to Fred Lynn. In the seventh, Bernie Carbo closed the gap to 5--3 with a pinch-hit solo homer off Clay Carroll.To close out the inning Will McEnaney would enter. In the ninth, with ace reliever Rawly Eastwick on the mound, the Reds looked poised to close the game out and take a 2--1 Series lead. But, Eastwick gave up a single to Rico Petrocelli and a tying two-run homer to Dwight Evans, sending the game into extra innings. Eastwick retired the Sox in the top of the tenth, setting the stage for a wild and controversial finish. Geronimo led...
