Picture postcard of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski holding two bats
Picture postcard signed: "Carl Yastrzemski". Color 3½x5½.Yastrzemski, born Carl Michel
Yastrzemski in 1939,replaced Ted Williams in left field for the Boston Red Sox in 1961 and
followed him into the Hall of Fame in 1989. When he retired after 23 years, Yastrzemski
ranked first in career games (3,308), third in at-bats (11,988) and walks (1,845), sixth in total
bases (5,539), seventh in hits (3,419) and doubles (646), and ninth in RBI (1,844). He was
the first American League player with both 3,000 hits and 400 homers. Although he won
three batting titles, played in 18 All-Star games, and was acknowledged as the finest
defensive left fielder of his time, "Yaz" will be primarily remembered by Red Sox rooters for
his Triple Crown/MVP 1967 season. That was the year of The Impossible Dream in
which the Sox, 9th place in 1966 and dormant for more than a decade, took the powerful St.
Louis Cardinals to the seventh game of the World Series. "Yaz" was also captain of the 1975
team, which suffered another heartbreaking 7-game Series loss to the even more powerful
Cincinnati Reds. Multiple pin-sized holes at lower image (not effecting signature). Otherwise
fine condition.
