Dewey, Rice, Lynn, Pudge, Rooster, Rico, Boomer, El Tiante', Spaceman, Eck,.......my favorite all-time player was Yaz! I caught him late in his career but his work ethic was something to aspire to and his skills were not "God Given"......he worked his ass off to become the ballplayer he was! I watched him alot growing up since about 74'. His last season I saw his last opening day, his last 3 games and was front row visitors side on deck circle for Yaz Day ceremonies. 5 years later I was in Cooperstown for his induction ceremony along with Johnny Bench, Harry Carey, Red Scheondist and Al Barlick. It was a great day! Just a huge Yaz fan! They don't build them like that anymore.......though Pedroia is darn close!
