Yaz Does It

Red Sox captain Carl Yazstrsemski banged a single up the middle last night, the 3000th hit of his major league career.

Yazstrsemski is the 14th major leaguer ever to collect 3000 hits, and the first American Leaguer in history to also slug 400 home runs. Fans flooded the field and the game was stopped for 15 minutes while Yaz accepted the congratulations of his teammates and of the opposing New York Yankees.
