Carl Michael Yastrzemski Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Carl Michael Yastrzemski (/jəˈstrɛmski/; nicknamed "Yaz"; born August 22, 1939) is an American former Major League Baseball left fielder and first baseman. 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, with part of his later career played at first base and as a designated hitter. 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 third on the team's list for home runs behind another Red Sox great, Ted Williams, his predecessor in left field, and current Red Sox Designated Hitter David Ortiz. 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.
In an early autobiography, he recalled how, during an early slump shortly after replacing Ted Williams, the team called the recently-retired Williams in to tutor him on his hitting. To demonstrate some techniques, Williams took some swings. Yastrzemski recalled that as he watched Williams launch one home run after another, all he could think was, "Why did this guy retire in the first place?".

Ironically, Yastrzemski grew up a Yankees fan. He was originally offered a contract with the Yankees, but his father did not like the terms in the deal.

In 1967 became the last player to win the batting triple crown, by leading the American League in batting average (.326), home runs (44), and runs batted in (121). He also led the league in runs scored (112), hits (189), and slugging percentage (.622).
