Message: [QUOTE="The Viking, post: 3275752, member: 1599"] Great stat about Yaz...using the wrC+ stat, which is park and league adjusted, with 100 being an average offensive score, Yaz, finished above 100 for 19 straight years (1962-1980). For what it's worth, outside of his 8 gold gloves, the few defensive metrics they are able to use based on what stats they had at the time had him as very good to great until his early 30's. And of course his most famous play - a great catch to save Billy Rohr's no-hitter in 1967 - took place in the cavernous LF in the old Yankee Stadium. It would be cool to see the Sox pick up his grandson before he hangs them up - even as a hitter off the bench. [/QUOTE]
