CARL YASTRZEMSKI RUMORS
Yaz's grandson a Vandy dandy
At 45-6, the Vanderbilt baseball team is arguably the best in the nation, and while some of the Commodores' stars may be several years from becoming household names, one of them has a name you most certainly already know -- even if you can't spell it.
Mike Yastrzemski is a left-handed, senior outfielder for the Commodores , who seem primed to make the second College World...

Carl Yastrzemski’s Grandson Mike Leads Vanderbilt Commodores
There has been no shortage of family involvement in Major League Baseball over the years; the Alou family, Phil and Joe Niekro, Bobby and Barry Bonds, Yogi Berra and his son Dale, Cecil and Prince Fielder to name but a few. In some cases the newer generation outshone the former and in others the shoes of the father were just too big to fill.
Well, if you think some had a tough chore...
Opening Day catches 1967 and 2013 Boston in NY
If you listen to Ken Coleman in 1967 describe the catch Yastrzemski made on a drive by Tom Tresh on Opening Day in NY in 1967 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BoD1xEJSX
You can hear Coleman describe how the whole Stadium was on their feet cheering for Yastrzemski. The score was only 3-0 and a lead off hit would increase NY’s chance of victory, but Carl Yastrzemski made this diving...
Yastrzemski: Somebody's got to win TC
Former Red Sox outfielder Carl Yastrzemski thinks that being in a pennant race will help Detroit's Miguel Cabrera in his attempt to win the Triple Crown.
And Yaz should know: He's the last player to lead his league in batting average, homers and RBI in the same season.
''In '67, the Triple Crown was never even mentioned once,'' Yastrzemski said Wednesday...

Carl Yastrzemski Promises That 'Red Sox Will Be Back,' Is Surprised Nobody Has Hit for Triple Crown Since Him
Carl Yastrzemski is unique in a couple of ways. The first, of course, will always be the uniqueness with a name that is impervious to spellchecking. The second, which is more likely to change, is that he is the last man to hit for baseball's Triple Crown. Yaz did it back in 1967, and now Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is in the hunt this year. When asked if he believed...
Yaz on next Triple Crown: Somebody's got to do it
Former Red Sox outfielder Carl Yastrzemski says being in a pennant race will help Detroit's Miguel Cabrera in his attempt to win the Triple Crown.
And Yaz should know: He's the last player to lead his league in batting average, homers and RBIs in the same season. Yastrzemski did it in 1967, when the ''Impossible Dream'' Red Sox clinched the AL pennant on...

Has the Triple Crown lost its luster?
Nobody has won the Triple Crown in the majors since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Nobody has won the Triple Crown in the National League since Joe "Ducky" Medwick in 1937. Back when those Triple Crowns were won, that was considered an accomplishment of epic proportions.
45 years after Yaz's Triple Crown, Detroit's Miguel Cabrera is the latest star poised to make...
I'll Have Another Makes Bid for Triple Crown, Elicits Memories of Affirmed, Carl Yastrzemski in Process
Triple Crowns are a thing of the past it seems, in both horse racing and baseball. This weekend, however, there's a chance we can see history, at least on the horse track. I'll Have Another will make a bid for the Triple Crown at the Belmont, and if Doug O'Neil's team can pull it out, they'll be the first Triple Crown winners since Affirmed in 1978. There'...

Sox 67 - Yaz could have played for Chicago
Entering his seventh season in the majors, Carl Yastrzemski had a reputation as a solid but not spectacular player. He was averaging 16 homers and 76 rbi's with a .293 batting average. He had a batting title to his credit (.321 in 1963) and had led the AL three times in doubles. It helped that Yaz could go the other way and use the left field wall. However, Carl had many detractors...
