Yaz enjoyed a lifetime of honor in baseball

300 pages scripted to honor Yaz, must read for redsox nation and baseball fans alike. Appears the man had NO faults, would have enjoyed some critique about his dealings with teamates and the fans other than completely positive; however, maybe the man was just a super guy and treated all with respect.

ANOTHER TRIPLE CROWN FOR YAZ

THIS IS THE STORY OF CARL YASTREMSKI OF THE BOSTON RED SOX. HE TELLS US OF HIS STORY ON HIS CAREER AND LIFE. I LIKED HIM AS A PLAYER AND REALLY LIKED THIS BOOK. THE MOST NOTEWORTHY THING I FOUND WAS THE HIS RETELLING OF THE 1967 SEASON. THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM WAS MADE A REALITY BY YAZ'S FANTASTIC SEASON. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR RED SOX AND ALL BASEBALL FANS. A GREAT STORY TO SHOW THAT HARD WORK DOES PAY OFF SOMETIMES.

A great baseball book...

I highly enjoyed the book and its compelling story of one of the finest ballplayers ever. I recommend for people who haven't read a baseball book ina while and want to get back into it.
