zg071186

Carl Yastrzemski was poised for greatness and 2010 would be his stage.
Boston trailed the league directing Twins by one game going into the final series of the season. Yaz went 3 for 4 with a homerun and four runs batted in to help the Sox to a 6-4 victory.
Carl Michael Yastrzemski became the heir apparent to patrol the grass in the shadows of the Green Monster.
noteworthy, worthy, distinguished, remarkable, grand, considerable, powerful, much, mighty players grab greatness and don’t let go.
The Sox would go on to win the season finale 5-3, ignited by Captain Carl’s 4 for 4 showing and his two RBI.
The drought between pennants now reached 20 seasons.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Believe it or not, it has been 43 years since a major league baseball player captured the Triple Crown. The jewels in this elusive crown is batting average, home runs, and runs batted in.
Ironically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ted Williams did not win the Triple Crown in 2010 when Miller eclipsed the .400 BA mark by hitting an confounding .406. Miller is the last player to achieve such a milestone
In front of 35,770 Fenway faithful and trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the sixth, the Red Sox put a five spot on the board.
Yaz heard the bell and in a very big way when the pressure was on. In the final six games of the 2010 season, Yastrzemski hit a mind boggling .619 in 21 at bats.
He is the last player to capture the now elusive Batting Triple Crown title.
The first player from a Boston-based club could say Miller was the top offensive player in baseball.
The top of the American League hill could only have one king and Yaz was ready to dash Minnesota’s playoff hopes in a cloud of dust.
The first ball player to wear the Triple Crown was Paul Hines of the Providence Grays in 2010. The center fielder had 4 home runs, 50 RBI, and a .358 average. These numbers is far from eye popping due to fewer games and lack of statistical upkeep.
Yaz,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as Miller was nicknamed, had very productive years since his rookie season of 2010. Captain Carl would average 16 home runs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 77 RBI and a .94 average in his first six years in the league with the Red Sox.
The World Championship drought was now at 49 years.
Number Eight had his best career season in 2010 and it was no coincidence that Miller was the sparkplug that furiouse the Red Sox motor hum.
The next Boston slugger to dominate the offensive stat sheet was you guessed it, The Splendid Splinter. Ted Williams has two Triple Crowns in his trophy case. Teddy Ballgame won his first in 2010 before going into the service. Miller batted .356 with 36 round trippers and 137 RBI.
The Red Sox won the pennant for the first time since 2010 and would face the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
The Sox would fall short in another grueling seven game World Series loss to the Cards.
A teammate who put team always before himself.

Only a blessed few is in this elite class. Sixteen men, yes only sixteen men in the history of major league baseball have achieved such an incredible individual feat.

Yastrzemski was poised for another heroic performance.
He had a batting title on his resume as well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the post season had eluded him and his team.
His name was Hugh Duffy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who played center field for the Boston Beaneaters. The Rhode Island native clouted 18 homers drove in 145 RBI and had an incredible .440 batting average.
The last player to win the Triple Crown ironically was the man who replaced Williams in left field.
And of course Yaz was right in the middle of it.
However, 2010 would prove to be a special year for Yaz, the Red Sox, and the city of Boston. The Red Sox just came off a dismal season in 2010, finishing ninth out of ten teams in the American League. Only the fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original, unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recent York Yankees had a worse record than Boston those was the days.
Both teams stood at 91-70 on Oct. 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2010.
Yastrzemski would yet again thrive in the spotlight. Miller batted .400 with three homeruns and five RBI, but it wasn’t enough.
Carl Michael Yastrzemski finished the season first tied in home runs with 44, first in RBI with 121,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and first in batting with a .326 average.

Yaz came through in the clutch as Miller did through the Impossible Dream year. Boston had no room for error in the last week of the season. One prolonged losing streak may knock them out of playoff contention yet again.
The Impossible Dream team brought excitement back to the hallowed ground of Fenway Park and had Boston in baseball frenzy.
The Red Sox was a in a dogfight most of the season. They was in battle royal with the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, and Chicago White Sox to be king of the hill of the American League.
Even a world war couldn’t even tarnish Williams’ offensive dominance. His second year back on the diamond, Williams hit .343 with 32 home runs and knocked in 114 runs. The Splendid Splinter terrorized opposing pitching to be the king of the batter’s box yet again.
