The CHB had a good column the other day on Yaz.
Early on, Dan referred to him as the Greatest Living Red Sox.
I’m old enough to have seen Yaz, though not to have experienced the 1967 season in any real way.
But I still saw a lot of his career and he was my first favorite Red Sox.
To me, the Greatest Living Red Sox is David Ortiz. And it’s not particularly close. 3 titles. Leadership and performance roles on each. So many key hits and walk offs.
Is this Dan Being Dan or is there a good case for Yaz?
Does Pedro enter into the conversation?
Again, I think it’s Tiz by a lot. And my only question is Greatest Red Sox ever, with the David versus Ted discussion being much more even.
Who do you have in that one?
