Carl Yastrzemski

The e-book could not be professionally formated like the paperback and hardcover books therefore I urge you serious Carl Yastrzemski and baseball fans to opt for the paperback or hardcover given those books have been professionally formated and are a far superior product for your reading pleasure. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, an avid fan of Carl Yastrzemski. When sabermetrics came along, I was curious as to where Yaz would rank amongst the leaders. Knowing Yaz played in a dead-ball era in the sixties, I knew traditional stats weren’t all that complementary.This book is my analysis of Carl Yastrzemski’s career… and what I discovered exceed all my expectations. I’ve applied some of the most highly respected sabermetric statistics available in comparing Yaz against the likes of Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Henry Aaron, Frank Robinson, Rickey Henderson, Al Kaline, Roberto Clemente, Ken Griffey Jr., Reggie Jackson, Pete Rose, Jim Edmonds, Carlos Beltron, Lance Berkman and Tim Raines to just name a few.I’ll compare Yaz to the greatest players in the game Post 1950, which means 1950 through to the present of 2024. I’ll use sabermetrics rWAR & fWAR, plus Bill James’s Win Shares (to include his formula) in my analysis. I’ll tap sabermetric statistics wOBA, wRC+ and RE24 in my analysis.This book will also spend time on grading the greatest Red Sox player (Post 1950) using a measurement of the player’s greatest 3,000 plate appearances in a Red Sox uniform. In addition to Boston’s Absolute Best listing, I’ll also provide you my selection of a Carl Yastrzemski all-star teammate team… with my starting lineup. And finally, I’ll pay tribute to Rico Petrocelli and Dwight Evans.If you choose to read this book, you’re going to discover sabermetric statistical proof that not only ranks Yaz amongst the greatest, but will also prove stuff like Mark Belanger (of the Orioles) being the better defensive shortstop (much better than Ozzie Smith) You’ll have proof that for the player’s greatest 5,000 innings that Dwight Evans possessed the greatest throwing arm in Right Field… and yes, this includes Roberto Clemente. You’ll also learn that Yaz possessed the greatest arm in left field, the second greatest glove (slightly behind Barry Bonds) and for the seasons 1967, 1968 and 1970, was the greatest baseball player in the game.
