In this article from October 25, 2007,Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe looks at Boston Red Sox legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Carl Michael Yastrzemski and what he means to fans of the Red Sox...'He can still bring a Fenway sellout crowd to its feet. No one who was around here in 1967 will ever forget.'

'Appropriately enough, Carl Yastrzemski threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the opening game of the 103d World Series at Fenway Park last night. Yaz, now 68, made the toss as the club again honored the most important Red Sox team of all time (yes, kids, the '67 gang did more to rescue this franchise than the champs of '04).'
