Red Sox hero Carl Yazstremski Autographed Baseball. Signed by Yas at a public event.

For 23 years, Yastrzemski proudly wore his  famous "#8" for the Red Sox, with his extraordinary batting style and  his unmatched skill in patrolling the grounds in front of the Green Monster.  In the Red Sox' 1967 "Impossible  Dream" season, he won the American League Triple Crown and was named the  A.L.'s Most Valuable Player.  At the time  of his retirement, Yastrzemski was the all-time American League leader in games  played (3,308) and was the only American League player to amass 3,000 hits and  400 home runs (finishing with 3,419 and 452 respectively, to go along with  1,844 RBI).  A seven-time Gold Glove  winner, Yaz earned the honor of 18 All-Star Game appearances, and is generally  considered one of the finest defensive left fielders of all-time.

Yastrzemski officially retired after the 1983 season, taking his memorable  final lap around Fenway Park.  Elected to  the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1989.  Yastrzemski is now a roving instructor with  the Red Sox.
