My Take
Carl Yastrzemski, Yaz to everyone, is the kind of athlete I find myself drawn to: a one-team man. Twenty-three seasons, all with the Boston Red Sox, in an era when loyalty like that was already becoming rare. His 1967 was the stuff of legend, an MVP and Athlete of the Year season, and his Gold Glove proves he was no mere slugger. Moving from left field to first base to designated hitter, he simply found ways to keep contributing. What gets me is the stubborn devotion of it, a man who tied his whole career to one city. That unglamorous fidelity is what I admire most.
