Carl Yastrzemski took over for baseball legend Ted Williams in the Red Sox line-up in 1961. In a very few seasons he became a major star and won baseball's Triple Crown in 1967 by leading the league in home runs (44), RBIs (121), and batting average (.326). He also led the Red Sox to the World Series that year and again in 1975. Yastrzemski retired in 1983 and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989. Yaz holds the Red Sox records for career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases and games played, and is high on the list of fans' Fenway favorites.
