"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

1979: Yaz got # 3,000
On this day in 1979, Carl Yastrzemski got # 3,000. Yaz hit a fastball from Jim Beattie past Willie Randolph's glove. I remember watching the highlights in the evening news.
The 1967 season was Yaz's greatest season.
