In Nomini Patris Et Filli Et Spiritu Sancti Amen, Oremus-Carl Yastremzki
The "Yaz" suffered chest pains at age 68. He had Triple Bypass Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, within the last 12 hours. I pray that he's fine and resting comfortably:
Triple Crown Winner in "The Impossible Dream" Year of 1967, where he led the A L in Homers, average and hits. He replaced Ted Williams in L F At Fenway Park in 1961;
In '04, he threw out the 1st Ball in Game 1 of the '04 World Series, where the Sox won it all;
I remember a "Kraft Music Hall" Special on N B C, where Don Rickles, a Comedian and Insult Specialist as well as Amigo of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, mispronounced his name as "Yeahyatzki". I never laughed so hard in my life. Tonight, I was weeping a bit;
Get well, Carl and that's an order;
Later!
In Nomini Patris Et Filli Et Spiritu Sancti, Amen!

Yaz is someone whom I respect greatly. When he retired, he really retired - unlike some folks. He pretty much avoided the spotlight as much as possible. No phony.
He did disappear, Jim, until he threw out the 1st Ball in the 1st Game of the '04 World Series:
Now, we read of Yaz, in this unfortunate of Circumstances
