The story on this card
Topps placed Yastrzemski at #434 in the Turn Back the Clock subset. His 1967 season for the Red Sox brought the American League Triple Crown with a .326 average, 44 home runs and 121 RBIs, the last Triple Crown in the majors until Miguel Cabrera in 2012. In the final two games against Minnesota, with the pennant at stake, he went 7 for 8 with six RBIs, and Boston finished one game ahead of Detroit and Minnesota. He hit .400 with three home runs in the World Series, which St. Louis won in seven games. He was voted MVP, one vote short of unanimous. In 1977, the year Topps issued this card, he won his seventh Gold Glove and finished with 28 home runs and 102 RBIs.
Carl Yastrzemski, 'Yaz,' gave Boston all 23 of his seasons, following Ted Williams in left field. He won the 1967 Triple Crown and MVP, three batting titles, seven Gold Gloves and 18 All-Star nods, and reached Cooperstown on the first ballot in 1989.
