I have a confession. Even though I have been a Yankee fan all my life, one of my favorite players of all time was Yaz. I liked the fact that he had Long Island roots (his parents were potato farmers on Long Island), and of course I loved his talent (the last player to win the triple crown). I used to imitate the way he held the bat when we played stickball. Happy Birthday to Fenway Park. I couldn't enjoy the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry without the Red Sox!!!
