Jerry Remy on Carl Yastrzemski
“(Carl) Yastrzemski was one of my idols as a teenager. I’ll never forget his 1967 season when he won the Triple Crown: number one in home runs, RBIs, and batting average. No one has done that since Yaz. […] To the day he finished, you couldn’t beat him on a fastball. He spent a ton of time working on his hitting. If he had a bad day, he would be out in the batting cage after the game. Most guys would be gone. He would still be there.”
“…and of course he’s been asked to leave the ballgame for ruining a good piece of pizza.”
