I am leaving The 24 best player in Boston Red Sox history….

Sox fans were rather spoiled in that their team essentially went from one all-time great to another with no in-between time. Left-handed slugger Carl Yastrzemski debuted in 1961, and it didn’t take long for him to morph into one of the most dangerous hitters in the game. In the 23 years that followed, Yaz would win MVP and the Triple Crown, take home seven Gold Gloves and three batting titles, and participate in 18 all-star games. He’s Boston’s all-time leader in hits, runs, RBI, and doubles and was selected to the Hall of Fame in ’89. Today his unique family name lives on in the big leagues, as his grandson, Mike, is an outfielder for the San Francisco Giants.
