He wore # 8, played a great left field and later first base for 20 seasons.
Yaz won the Triple Crown in 1967 and led Boston to the World Series that year. The Red Sox lost to Bob Gibson and the Cardinals in game 7. He returned in 1975 and played a huge role in that one too.
Great player all around: 3419 hits! 452 hrs! 1845 RBIs.
